Nestled in the heart of South Zeal within Dartmoor National Park, this Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage blends restored period character with contemporary comforts. Exposed stonework, original beams and a high-spec rustic kitchen create a warm, inviting open-plan ground floor suited to relaxed living and easy entertaining. The loft has been converted into a skylit office, ideal for home working or hobbies.
Outdoors, a wisteria-framed patio leads to a long, private lawn and a stone-built store, with gated rear access to a nearby car park for added convenience. The cottage sits within walking distance of a primary school, village amenities and countryside footpaths, offering a quiet village lifestyle with strong local community facilities and access to outdoor recreation.
Practical considerations are presented plainly: the property is Grade II listed, which may limit external and internal alterations and could complicate works or future extensions. Broadband speeds are slow in this remoter area, and there is a medium flood risk to be noted. The plot is modest in size, and parking is via a nearby car park rather than private off-street parking.
This newly renovated cottage will suit someone seeking a manageable, characterful home in a village setting — particularly downsizers or couples who value style, village life and access to Dartmoor walks. If you need high-speed connectivity, larger external spaces, or major alteration freedom, factor those constraints into your decision.
