Sunny village terrace ideal for first-time buyers seeking charm and convenience.
Character-filled cottage with exposed beams and cosy wood burner
A beautifully presented two-bedroom cottage combining period character with practical living for a first home. The open-plan L-shaped lounge/diner feels welcoming with exposed beams, a cosy wood burner and shuttered windows; built-in storage including a large understairs cupboard helps maximise the compact footprint. Upstairs offers two bedrooms, a single bathroom and a private rooftop terrace with outside power — a rare sunny retreat for morning coffee or al fresco evenings.
The kitchen and bathroom are bright thanks to large Velux roof windows; both are functional and well laid out for everyday use. The property benefits from double glazing (fitted post-2002) and a garage for parking or storage. Constructed before 1900 with traditional cob walls, the cottage sits in an affluent village setting close to countryside walks, the Tarka Trail and local amenities including a good primary school.
Buyers should note the cottage is small (approx. 606 sqft) and heated by electric storage heaters; running costs can be higher than gas. There is a single bathroom and the layout is multi-story, so it may suit those comfortable with stairs and a compact plot. Broadband and mobile signals are average.
Overall this is a characterful, low-council-tax freehold cottage offering an affordable village-living entry point. It will particularly suit first-time buyers or those downsizing who value charm, light-filled rooms and a low-maintenance outdoor terrace, while accepting the trade-offs of size and electric heating.
