Shamrock Cottage is a compact, Grade II listed thatched cottage set right by the village square in Northlew. The property offers a traditional sitting room with an inglenook fireplace, a well-fitted kitchen/dining room and two upstairs bedrooms. Having been re-thatched in 2022 and presented chain-free, it suits a first home, a holiday retreat or a rental let.
The cottage retains period character — exposed timbers, cob walls and a classic whitewashed exterior — while recent improvements include kitchen fittings and a modern bathroom. Its village location gives easy access to local amenities, a good primary school and the wider services of Okehampton, with the A30 linking to Exeter and the Devon coast.
Buyers should note the practical considerations of a listed property: Grade II status will restrict external and some internal alterations and may complicate planning or repair work. Main heating is by electric room heaters; there is no gas central heating. The cottage’s overall internal size is small, and the frontage is modest, so it will be best suited to purchasers comfortable with compact living or those looking for a low-maintenance village property.
Because it is newly thatched and offered freehold and chain-free, the cottage represents immediate occupation or letting potential for someone who appreciates authentic period homes and is comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities.
