Set within a peaceful South Devon hamlet, Coombefishacre Farm Cottage offers generous family living and a substantial private plot. The property includes two reception rooms, three double bedrooms and a large traditional outbuilding that has been used as a workshop and storage—useful for hobbyists or those seeking conversion potential (subject to consents).
The house retains period character including stonework, high ceilings and a Victorian fireplace, while providing practical features such as off-street tandem parking and oil-fired central heating. The plot is unusually large for the area, with tiered lawns, flower and vegetable beds and useful lean-tos and former dairy storage.
Buyers should note the property needs renovation and modernisation throughout: the EPC is band E and walls are likely uninsulated. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is limited. There is a shared private drainage arrangement with the neighbouring property and a flying freehold where one bedroom sits above the neighbour’s kitchen—both are important practical considerations.
Offered freehold and with no onward chain, this semi-detached former farm cottage suits a buyer wanting a character home they can personalise, or someone seeking barn/outbuilding conversion potential (subject to planning). Newton Abbot, Totnes, the South Devon coastline and Dartmoor are all within easy driving distance, combining rural calm with access to amenities.
