Period features: exposed beams, ornate fireplaces, leaded windows

Cob-built Victorian walls — older construction needing maintenance
Set just yards from Manor Gardens and within easy walking distance of Dawlish town centre and the beach, this double-fronted Victorian cottage offers immediate location appeal for buyers wanting character and coastal convenience. The house retains many original features — exposed beams, ornate fireplaces, leaded-light windows and exposed floorboards — that create a warm, historic atmosphere throughout the three storeys.
The accommodation is well laid out for modern living: a cosy living room with brick fireplace, a characterful dining room, a long kitchen/breakfast room and two double bedrooms, the principal occupying the top floor with a vaulted ceiling and Velux outlook over the park. Gas central heating and double glazing to principal windows help with comfort and running costs; council tax band B is modest.
Practical points to note: there is no onward chain and the property is freehold, making for a straightforward purchase. The rear outside space is a very small courtyard with an external toilet rather than a garden, and the plot is compact. The EPC rating is D and the building’s cob walls and older construction show signs of wear; images and inspection note potential damp that will require investigation and remedial work.
This cottage will suit buyers who prioritise location and period character and who are prepared to carry out some updating and targeted repairs. It offers immediate charm and long-term potential — a comfortable home with scope to improve energy performance and address maintenance to preserve its historic features.
