Set within the quiet village of Cornwood and edging Dartmoor National Park, Smallridge Cottage is a detached period home that merges original character with usable modern updates. Vaulted beams, exposed stonework and a double-sided log burner create a warm, atmospheric sitting room that opens onto a sunlit southerly courtyard — perfect for morning light and small-scale outdoor living. The house offers flexible four-bedroom accommodation arranged over multiple levels, including a downstairs bedroom that suits guests or limited-mobility use.
Outside there is a private lawned garden and an enclosed courtyard, plus ample off-street parking — a strong practical benefit in a rural village. The footprint and plot are modest, making upkeep manageable while still providing enough space for children, hobbies or a home office. The location brings village community amenities within walking distance and easy access to Ivybridge and Plymouth for wider services.
Buyers should note a few material points: heating details in the listing are inconsistent, so buyers must verify the current central-heating provision and service history. The cottage is cob-built with thick walls and has double glazing fitted before 2002; both are authentic period features but may need specialist maintenance or upgrading over time. Broadband speeds are reported slow — important for remote working — although mobile signal is excellent.
Offered freehold and with no onward chain, this property will suit a family seeking character and a village lifestyle, or someone looking for a rural second home within commuting distance of nearby towns. It’s well presented in many areas but sensible buyers should budget for ongoing maintenance typical of pre-1900 stone and cob cottages.
