Tucked on Mill Street, this deceptively spacious Victorian mid-terrace cottage combines period character with substantial outdoor space and far-reaching Torridge Valley views. The sitting room features a feature fireplace and wood-burning stove; the long kitchen/diner (over 21ft) has slate flooring with professionally installed insulation and electric underfloor heating beneath. A useful workshop/utility at the rear and a powered summer house with potable water add versatile space for hobbies or working from home.
Externally the tiered rear garden climbs the hillside to offer sunny patios, lawns and a landscaped top level – with direct pedestrian access onto Torrington Commons for immediate countryside walks. A single garage is included, located en bloc in Sampford Gardens a short walk from the house. Modern practicalities include double glazing, a modern bathroom and mains gas central heating.
There are a few material points to note: the property is a pre-1900 granite-built terrace and the stone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, so improving thermal performance may be required to lower running costs. The garage is nearby rather than attached to the house, and any internal reconfiguration (the landing can be reinstated as a third bedroom) will need planning and building consideration. The home is presented in good order but offers further renovation potential to increase value or rental return (brochure suggests £800–£850 pcm).
Overall this cottage will suit buyers seeking character-filled town-edge living with large private gardens and excellent outdoor access — families, downsizers who want space, or investors seeking a lettable rural-aspect property.
