Hideaway Cottage is a quintessential Grade II listed thatched cottage in Ringmore, presented with original stone walls, exposed beams and a cosy stone fireplace. The compact two-bedroom layout suits buyers seeking character, manageable space and a private garden in a peaceful coastal village setting. A detached garage with off-street parking is a practical rarity here, and the property is offered chain free for a straightforward move.
This home will particularly appeal to downsizers or those wanting a characterful holiday base: the courtyard and sheltered lawn provide a low-maintenance outdoor retreat with good privacy. The interior is well presented but compact, with relatively low ceilings and traditionally proportioned rooms that emphasise charm over large floorplates.
Important considerations are practical and legal: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and specialist consent will be required for many works. The thatched roof and stone walls reflect traditional construction and will need ongoing specialist maintenance; the main heating is an oil-fired boiler, and external walls are likely uninsulated. Double glazing is in place but dates from before 2002. Buyers should factor in potential higher insurance and upkeep costs linked to period fabric and thatch.
Overall this is a charming, character-packed cottage in a sought-after village location, best suited to those who value historic detail and a compact, easy-to-manage home rather than contemporary open-plan living or extensive grounds.
