Set on the edge of Black Torrington and backing onto open countryside, this newly refurbished two-bedroom semi-detached cottage blends period character with ready-to-move-in presentation. Retained features such as a stone fireplace and exposed timber beams give charm while the recently updated interior makes the property usable from day one. Off-road parking and a small decked area with countryside views extend living outdoors in the warmer months.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the home is compact at about 614 sq ft and sits on a small plot, so it will suit buyers seeking low-maintenance living rather than expansive gardens. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, which can mean higher running costs compared with modern systems. Drainage is private and broadband and mobile signals are average, reflecting the remoter village setting.
The cottage offers genuine value for buyers seeking a rural pied-à-terre, a lock-up-and-leave weekend retreat, or an affordable entry into Devon village life. Local amenities include a primary school, post office facility, village pub and medical surgery; larger towns such as Holsworthy and Okehampton are within a short drive. Offered with no onward chain and low council tax banding, the property represents a pragmatic purchase with character and countryside access.
Buyers should view in person to appreciate the layout and retained features and to assess heating and insulation needs. While recently refurbished, the home’s traditional construction and electric heating mean some buyers may choose to invest further in insulation or heating upgrades to improve comfort and running costs.
