Tranquil Devon retreat with panoramic valley outlook and garden potential.
- Two double bedrooms with far-reaching countryside views
- Approximately two-thirds of an acre: lawns, woodland and outbuildings
- Elevated decking area provides panoramic valley views
- Original features: beamed ceilings and inglenook fireplace
- Off-street parking for two cars
- Planning granted in principle previously; extensions subject to consents
- Oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating; may require future replacement
- Average broadband speeds; remoter location not ideal for heavy remote work
Set on approximately two-thirds of an acre, this early 1900s detached home offers genuine rural seclusion with expansive valley vistas. Original features such as exposed beams and an inglenook fireplace give the main living space strong period character, while two double bedrooms upstairs both benefit from long countryside views.
Practical outdoor advantages include off-street parking for two cars, an elevated decking area ideal for entertaining, and a range of useful outbuildings plus a wooded coppice. There is clear scope to increase living space — planning was granted in principle when last purchased, though any extension will be subject to full consents.
Buyers should note the house is heated by an oil-fired boiler with underfloor heating and has average broadband speeds; these are reasonable for a remoter location but may not suit heavy home-working needs. The cottage is offered Freehold and has affordable council tax; there is no flood risk and local crime levels are low.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful countryside retreat with substantial gardens and potential to improve or extend. It is less suitable for those wanting urban immediacy or the fastest broadband, and some modernisation of the compact kitchen and bath areas may be required to suit contemporary tastes.
