Summary - 1 Lumburn Cottages, Lumburn PL19 8HT
2 bed 1 bath End of Terrace
Two-bedroom Duke of Bedford cottage with large gardens, outbuildings and panoramic rural views..
Quarter-acre plot with panoramic countryside views
A traditional two-bedroom end-of-terrace cottage set on a generous quarter-acre plot, 1.5 miles from Tavistock. The house keeps original character: exposed stone walls, timber beams and a large stone fireplace with a cast-iron wood-burning stove. Southeast-facing gardens and wide countryside views provide a peaceful rural outlook and strong outdoor potential.
Internally the layout is practical: sitting room, dining room, kitchen, garden room, utility/store and a single bathroom on the ground floor, with two double bedrooms upstairs. Double glazing has been fitted (post-2002) and new night storage heaters are installed, improving comfort and security of tenure on this freehold property.
Buyers should note the building is pre-1900 granite construction, likely with limited wall insulation, and the main heating and fuel are electric storage heaters — running costs can be higher than gas alternatives. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect remote working. The house will need ongoing maintenance typical of older, stone-built cottages; some spaces and finishes show normal wear.
The large plot, multiple outbuildings and ample off-road parking are strong value drivers: room for garden projects, hobby workshops or modest equine/amenity uses (subject to planning). This cottage will suit buyers seeking rural character and space close to Tavistock, and those willing to carry targeted improvement works rather than buyers seeking a fully modernised low-maintenance home.
