Summary - 8, Well Street EX38 8EP
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful two-bed cottage with suntrap garden, central location, and listed-building considerations.
Grade II listed period cottage in heart of Great Torrington
A Grade II listed two-bedroom period cottage in the heart of Great Torrington, offering characterful living within easy reach of local shops and amenities. The living room displays original features, deep window sills and a show fireplace; the kitchen/diner enjoys a skylight and a long rear window that floods the space with light. The enclosed courtyard-style garden is low-maintenance, private and includes a stone-built shed and a sunny seating area.
Practical comforts include double glazing (install date unknown), mains gas central heating with a combi boiler, excellent mobile signal and ultrafast broadband availability. The property is freehold with very low council tax and has no flood risk — convenient for first-time buyers or those seeking a compact town-centre home.
Important constraints: the house is Grade II listed and constructed of cob and stone under slate, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and repairs. There is a flying freehold with number 6 Well Street and the stone walls are understood to have no insulation. Period stairs are slightly steeper than modern builds and ceilings are low to average. Prospective buyers should commission a surveyor or conservation specialist to clarify structural and repair implications before purchase.
Overall this terraced cottage will suit buyers who value period charm and a central town location, and who are comfortable handling listed-building considerations and potential retrofitting works. It offers ready-to-enjoy accommodation paired with scope for careful, sympathetic improvement where permitted.
