A compact two-bedroom terraced cottage in the heart of Buckfastleigh, sold chain free and ready for a new owner to personalise. The living room feels welcoming with a stone fireplace and wood burning stove, while the open-plan layout gives a practical, social ground floor. Gas central heating provides everyday comfort and running costs are helped by a very low council tax band A.
This property dates from before 1900 and retains period character, but it also shows signs that need attention: small windows limit natural light in places, external walls are stone with no confirmed insulation, and there is mention of potential cracks and damp that should be professionally checked. The EPC is E which indicates scope for energy improvements, and a buyer should expect some updating and possible damp/structure investigations.
Upstairs accommodation includes a main double bedroom with original fireplace and a small second bedroom on the top floor with an ensuite toilet and built-in storage. The galley kitchen is functional with space for appliances and access to a shared external storage area at the rear. The house’s compact 721 sq ft makes it economical to run but limits expansion without modification.
For first-time buyers, downsizers or buy-to-let investors, this cottage offers a town-centre location close to local shops, amenities and attractions, with good transport links along the A38. It’s a straightforward project for someone wanting a period home to improve: sensible energy upgrades, damp checks and cosmetic refurbishment would add comfort and value.
