Set in the picturesque village of Canworthy Water, this Grade II listed three‑bedroom cottage blends authentic character with surprisingly generous space. The ground floor offers a welcoming living room with original slate flooring and an open-plan kitchen/dining area that opens onto a large, mature garden — ideal for outdoor family life and summer entertaining. A detached workshop/craft room provides dedicated space for hobbies, a home office, or storage.
The first-floor master bedroom is a charming, vaulted space with exposed beams and built-in storage; two additional bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the accommodation. Practical features include mains water and electricity, a septic tank drainage system, and an EPC rating of D. Broadband speeds are reported fast, and local crime levels are very low, supporting comfortable rural living.
Buyers should note material considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate modernisation or extensions. Heating is by electric storage heaters and glazing includes older double glazing installed before 2002, so upgrading could improve comfort and running costs. Drainage to a private septic tank requires ongoing maintenance, and the location carries a medium flooding risk in parts.
This cottage will suit buyers who value period character, privacy and a substantially sized plot in a quiet agricultural village. It’s particularly appealing to families or buyers seeking a countryside retreat with scope to personalise within the constraints of listed building regulations.
