Set in the heart of Combe Martin, this two-bedroom mid-terrace granite cottage blends coastal character with practical living. The ground-floor living room has exposed beams, a wood burner and slate flooring that create a cosy, cottage feel, while the kitchen and dining area suit everyday life and small social gatherings. Bedrooms are compact but bright, and there are two bathrooms for convenience.
The property is freehold and sits in a very small plot, making outdoor maintenance minimal but limiting garden space. The house was constructed before 1900 with traditional stone walls likely without insulation; some upgrading (wall insulation, possible restoration work to external plaster) will improve comfort and energy efficiency. Windows are double glazed but the install date is unknown.
Combe Martin’s coastal location, access to walking routes and nearby amenities make this appealing for first-time buyers or buyers seeking a holiday cottage or rental investment. Broadband is average but mobile signal is excellent. Flood risk is low, crime is very low, and council tax is very cheap—helpful running-cost advantages.
Note the property sits in an area classed as deprived locally and wider agricultural/remoter communities, and the interior includes low ceilings in places and small room sizes. Buyers should expect some maintenance and potential refurbishment to modernise heating efficiency, wall insulation and external finishes.
