Treeton Cottage is a substantial late-18th-century Gothic-style detached home set on a very large private plot in the heart of Abbotskerswell. Currently arranged as two connected three-bedroom units, it offers flexible multi-generational living or the chance to convert back into a single impressive family residence with south-facing village views. The site includes a double garage with carport, gated driveway with ample secure parking, workshop, shed and enclosed lawns suitable for children and pets.
The property is bristling with character — granite walls, sash-style windows and high ceilings — but requires general updating throughout. Heating is mains gas with a boiler and underfloor heating; glazing is double glazed though install dates are unknown. The walls are assumed uninsulated and internal renovations will be needed to modernise kitchens, bathrooms and fittings to contemporary standards. Council tax bands are above average.
This is a rare opportunity for buyers seeking a one-off period home with significant scope: renovate and personalise a large family house, retain two self-contained units for extended family or create a rental/income stream. The village location is highly convenient — a few hundred yards from the centre with an excellent primary school, amenities and good transport links to Newton Abbot and Totnes. Note: sold chain-free.
Material drawbacks to note: the property needs renovation throughout, some insulation upgrades likely required (granite walls), and finishings will need investment to reach modern expectations. Prospective purchasers should allow budget and time for refurbishment works.
