A three-bedroom period cottage on South Street offered chain-free and ready for a full renovation. The property provides over 131 sq m (approx 1,412 sq ft) of accommodation across two storeys, including a cellar, garden room, utility and downstairs WC — a flexible layout that suits a family, first-time buyer or buy-to-let investor willing to refurbish. The house benefits from double glazing fitted after 2002 and mains gas central heating, plus fast FTTC broadband and excellent mobile coverage.
The location is a key strength: a short walk to South Molton town centre shops, schools and amenities, with good road links to Barnstaple, Tiverton and Exeter. Outside there is a small enclosed walled courtyard with raised stone beds — low-maintenance but limited for gardening or play. On-street parking is available; there is no garage.
Important practical points: the property requires complete renovation throughout and the original granite walls are believed uninsulated, so buyers should budget for thermal upgrades, redecoration and modernisation of fixtures. There is one family bathroom and modest room sizes typical of a Victorian town cottage. The house is sold freehold and with no onward chain, allowing a swift purchase for someone prepared to carry out works.
This is a value-led opportunity for a buyer wanting central South Molton living and the scope to add value through refurbishment. For investors the property’s size and proximity to local amenities make it suitable for a rental conversion after improvement; for an owner-occupier it offers character features and scope to reconfigure internal spaces to better suit modern living.
