Summary - 1 SHELLAFORD COTTAGES LYDFORD OKEHAMPTON EX20 4BE
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Compact renovation project with garden and parking near Dartmoor views.
Two-bedroom semi-detached cottage with period features and exposed beams
Situated on the edge of Lydford and within easy reach of Dartmoor, this two-bedroom semi-detached cottage offers characterful living and clear potential. The property is chain-free and presents a straightforward renovation opportunity for a buyer looking to add value or personalise a home close to countryside walks and village amenities.
Original features such as exposed beams and a stone fireplace give the cottage charm, while a modest rear/side garden and off‑street parking add practical outdoor space. The footprint is compact with small-to-average rooms, so remodelling and a carefully considered extension (subject to planning consent) could significantly improve living space and natural light.
Buyers should be aware the cottage requires updating throughout: the kitchen and bathroom need modernisation, heating is oil-fired, double glazing is older, and broadband speeds are slow. The plot is small and the area records above-average crime and higher local deprivation than nearby towns — factors to weigh if you need strong local services or connectivity.
For a first-time buyer prepared to take on a renovation, or an investor seeking a renovation-and-resell opportunity, this cottage offers an affordable entry into a sought-after Dartmoor village setting with scope to enhance value and create a cosy, characterful home.
