This Grade II listed Devon cottage in Alphington blends authentic character with practical modernisation. Exposed beams, stone and brick fireplaces with log burners and a stable-style kitchen door create an immediate sense of warmth and history. Recently refurbished throughout, the house presents two generous double bedrooms plus a flexible reception that has long served as a third bedroom.
Outdoor space is a standout: high‑hedged, mature gardens on three sides provide privacy, wildlife interest and room for al fresco dining. A large private gravel driveway accommodates two to three cars—rare for a period home—making school runs and shopping trips straightforward. The cottage sits within easy reach of the Quay, good bus links, commuter routes and several well-rated schools.
Practical updates include a modern gas combi boiler, improved insulated roof, contemporary shower room and some modern double glazing. However, the property retains original single‑glazed wooden windows in parts, and the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate future renovation or extension plans. EPC C and low flood risk are positive practical points.
This home will suit buyers seeking a characterful, move‑in cottage with outside space and parking — families or couples valuing charm and location. It is being sold freehold and chain free, but those planning major changes should factor in listed‑building consent and specialist maintenance.
