Summary - HOME FARM BROOK COTTAGE COCKINGTON LANE COCKINGTON VILLAGE TORQUAY TQ2 6XA
3 bed 2 bath House
Characterful single‑level cottage with huge garden in picture‑postcard village.
Grade II listed detached barn conversion with vaulted principal room
Set on the babbling brook in Cockington Village, this Grade II listed barn conversion offers a rare single‑level home with strong period character and substantial outside space. The vaulted principal living room, exposed trusses and French doors create an immediate sense of drama and light, while three bedrooms (one ensuite) and a practical kitchen make the layout comfortable for family life or a high‑quality holiday let.
The southerly private garden is large for the setting and steps down from a raised patio to lawns sheltered by mature hedging. Off‑street provision includes a parking bay and a double garage — notable conveniences in this conservation area. Local amenities, village cafés, Cockington Country Park and Torquay seafront are all within easy reach.
The house is offered with clear renovation need: fittings and services will benefit from updating, walls are likely uninsulated and the EPC is D (56). As a Grade II listed building in a conservation area, alterations will require consent and could restrict extensive changes. The property is leasehold with a very long residual term (966 years) which preserves marketability but should be noted by buyers.
This is best for buyers seeking character and location over a turn‑key finish — families or buyers wanting a distinctive countryside base close to Torquay, or investors looking to enhance value through sympathetic modernisation. Flood risk is medium; buyers should satisfy themselves on insurance and any mitigation. Broadband speeds are slow and council tax is above average.
