Set in the peaceful hamlet of Trimstone, this semi‑detached Victorian cottage combines period charm with generous living space for family life. The house features a 27' kitchen‑diner and a sun room that open to well‑stocked, multi‑level gardens with a sunny south aspect — ideal for outdoor living and children’s play. A large double garage/workshop and ample parking add practical appeal for hobbyists and families with multiple vehicles.
Internally you’ll find character details including exposed beams and a wood‑burning stove in the sitting room, three well‑proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. The layout is spacious (approximately 2,373 sq ft) with bright rooms and countryside views from the south elevation, making it a comfortable rural home that has been extended for modern living.
Buyers should note material facts: the property has an EPC Band F and uses a mix of boiler-fed radiators and wood logs for heating. The stone walls are original and likely lack modern insulation, and broadband speeds in the area are very slow. There is only a single bathroom, which may be limiting for larger households. These factors present an opportunity to improve energy efficiency and connectivity to suit long‑term family living.
Offered freehold, the cottage sits on a large plot in an affluent, low‑traffic setting close to local primary schools and within easy reach of Ilfracombe and Braunton. For buyers seeking character, space and a semi‑rural lifestyle with scope for targeted upgrades, this property is a strong contender.
