Summary - Upways, Lovacott, Newton Tracey EX31 3PZ
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Spacious plot and outbuildings ideal for smallholding or renovation.
Chain free three-bedroom semi-detached cottage on c.2.2 acres
Set within about 2.2 acres on the edge of Lovacott, this characterful three-bedroom semi offers countryside space and genuine renovation potential. The cottage is chain free and includes substantial outbuildings suitable for storage, workshop use or conversion subject to planning.
The house retains traditional features—cob walls, slate roof and chimney stacks—and has LPG-fired central heating, double glazing and standard ceiling heights. Accommodation is straightforward and average-sized, with one bathroom, five principal rooms and scope to enhance, extend or reconfigure (subject to planning permission).
Practical considerations are clear: the property requires modernisation and some specialist maintenance for the cob construction. LPG fuel and outbuilding upkeep add ongoing costs. Its rural position brings excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, low crime, and easy road access to Barnstaple and nearby amenities, making it suitable for families or buyers seeking a smallholding or equestrian base.
This is a rare opportunity to secure a sizeable plot in a popular North Devon location. Buyers should budget for renovation work and possible planning-led costs, but the combination of land, outbuildings and a traditional cottage footprint gives scope to create a substantial rural home.
