Set on an elevated plot with far-reaching westerly views over the Marshwood Vale, this two-bedroom period cottage offers character and clear scope to add value. The sitting room retains exposed beams, stone fireplace and a wood-burning stove; the site includes a large garden backing onto open farmland and rare on-site parking in the village. For buyers who value outlook and outside space, the position is the standout feature.
The house needs renovation and offers obvious extension potential (subject to necessary consents). Practical drawbacks are factual: the property currently relies on electric storage heating, walls are likely uninsulated (traditional stone construction), and refurbishment is required throughout. There is a biomass system on the plot but heating and hot-water arrangements should be verified by a surveyor. Broadband speeds are slow and will affect home-working until upgraded.
This is a straightforward opportunity for a purchaser prepared to invest in improvement — whether as a permanent home, weekend retreat or a supported holiday-let/investment — where the combination of garden, parking and stunning rural outlook is rare for the area. The cottage is freehold, not listed, and offers scope to modernise while retaining period charm. Buyers should factor renovation costs and planning timescales into their offer.
