Summary - 1 BINDERS COTTAGES BISHOPS TAWTON BARNSTAPLE EX32 0DJ
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Renovated two-bed cottage near Barnstaple — cosy, low-maintenance village living.
200-year-old character cottage with exposed beams and slate flooring
A 200-year-old cottage with proven appeal, presented as a stylish, ready-to-occupy home or income property. Extensive renovations (roof, wiring, plumbing, damp treatment) have been completed, and a gas boiler was installed about ten years ago, reducing immediate maintenance concerns. The sitting room with wood-burning stove, slate flooring and exposed timber creates a warm, characterful reception space, while the oak kitchen with black granite tops offers contemporary practicality.
Upstairs are two charming bedrooms that retain period features; room sizes are modest, consistent with a village cottage. Outside space is low-maintenance and compact—a block-paved garden opposite the cottage ideal for sitting out but not for extensive gardening or large outdoor entertaining. Broadband is fast and the location delivers easy access to Barnstaple, the Tarka Trail and North Devon beaches.
This cottage suits a range of buyers: first-time purchasers seeking character with minimal immediate works, downsizers wanting a low-upkeep bolt-hole, or investors aiming to reintroduce a holiday-let income. Be aware the granite walls likely lack insulation and the double glazing dates from before 2002, which may affect running costs and future upgrade plans. Overall, the property offers period charm, sensible recent investment, and straightforward potential for further modernisation if required.
