Tucked in the quiet hamlet of South Allington, this Grade II listed period cottage combines historic charm with surprisingly generous living space. The house occupies about 1,312 sq ft with three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a large open-plan kitchen/dining area that opens into a cosy lounge with a wood-burning stove. Light-filled, double-aspect rooms and countryside views give the home a relaxed coastal-cottage feel, and the rear garden backs onto open fields for privacy.
Practical benefits include private off-street parking for one to two vehicles, two outbuildings for storage or studio use, and freehold tenure with no onward chain. There is clear potential to extend at the rear and to convert the large loft (subject to planning) which would increase living space and value. The larger outbuilding could be adapted to a home office or workshop, subject to consents.
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and add complexity to any work; the walls are traditional granite with assumed no insulation; heating is oil-fired (boiler and radiators); drainage is via a shared septic tank; and broadband speeds are very slow. The plot is small, and the property’s age and listed status mean maintenance and specialist repairs are likely more costly than for modern homes.
This cottage will suit someone seeking a characterful coastal or countryside base rather than a low-maintenance modern property — ideal for those who value location, charm and future extension potential and who accept the obligations of owning a listed, historic home.
