Set on an elevated plot in the heart of Swimbridge, this detached character cottage offers four bedrooms, two reception rooms and striking valley views. The large, terraced rear garden rises in levels to maximise outlook and privacy, and an attached workshop/store provides useful powered storage and housing for the gas boiler.
The house retains rustic features such as exposed beams and fireplaces with wood burners, and the kitchen/dining room includes a built-in bread oven and practical utility space. Its location is village‑centric: the primary school, pub, church and regular bus links to Barnstaple are all within easy reach, while the North Devon coast and A361 are accessible by car.
Practical considerations are set out plainly. The property has an EPC band D and doubles glazing installed before 2002. The solid stone walls are understood to have no modern insulation (assumed), so additional insulation work could be required to improve comfort and energy costs. There is a single family bathroom and the plot is on a sloping hillside; landscaping or maintenance of terraced areas will be needed over time. There is a medium flood risk noted for the area, which should be considered by buyers and insurers.
Offered freehold and chain free, this cottage will suit a family seeking village life with scope to update and improve energy performance. The combination of character, a large garden and workshop space gives clear potential for enhancement while enjoying the generous views and village amenities immediately outside the door.
