Victorian 2-bed cottage with large rear garden — chain-free but in need of renovation and flood advice.
Chain-free freehold cottage, approx 652 sq ft
A charming Victorian end-of-terrace cottage on the edge of Horrabridge, ideally placed for exploring Dartmoor National Park. The house offers two first-floor bedrooms, separate sitting and dining rooms, ground-floor shower room and a practical kitchen — all arranged over a compact 652 sq ft. South-facing front gardens and a substantially larger rear garden are rare for a terrace and offer space for a studio, workshop or generous outdoor living.
The property is chain-free and sold freehold, with mains gas central heating (boiler and radiators), double glazing (unknown install date) and character granite walls. It requires renovation throughout, including likely improvements to insulation (stone walls assumed uninsulated) and general updating of fixtures and finishes. Buyers should note the cottage dates from before 1900 and that some period features will need sensitive repair.
Important practical points: the location has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, very low local crime, and low council tax (Band A). There is, however, a high flooding risk for the area — purchasers should obtain up-to-date flood advice and insurance quotes. This house will suit someone wanting a period property to renovate and personalise, a weekend Dartmoor retreat, or a practical small-family home close to local amenities and schools.
Nearby facilities include a village shop/post office, two pubs, bakery and regular bus services to Tavistock and Plymouth. Yelverton’s wider range of shops is about two miles away, and primary and secondary schools (including a Good-rated primary) are within easy reach.
