Set in one of the South Hams’ most sought-after villages, this three-bedroom semi-detached stone cottage offers traditional character with practical, modern updates. The open-plan living room with a central woodburner flows into a contemporary kitchen, creating a warm, sociable ground floor ideal for family life or steady rental income. Off-street parking and a single garage add useful practicality in a quiet courtyard setting.
The property is chain free and freehold, with double glazing installed after 2002 and a boarded, insulated loft. Two well-proportioned double bedrooms plus a versatile third room suit a growing family or a home office. The single family bathroom is contemporary in style and the layout follows a traditional plan that’s straightforward to adapt if desired.
Notable constraints are factual: heating is by electric storage heaters (with a woodburner as a supplement), and the solid granite walls are assumed uninsulated, so energy costs may be higher than newer builds. The property lies in a conservation area and has a medium long-term flood risk; buyers should obtain specialist advice. Slate roofing may contain asbestos externally and would benefit from lab testing. The plot and garden are small, limiting extension potential without planning consents.
This home will appeal to families seeking village life near Totnes, buyers after a characterful second home, or investors looking for a low-management rental in a desirable rural location. There is scope for targeted improvement (insulation, heating upgrade, internal modernisation) that could enhance comfort and EPC rating, but any works should be considered alongside conservation-area constraints.
