A mid-20th century semi-detached house in the heart of Dartmoor offering clear renovation upside and income potential. The property sits on a decent plot with a large rear garden, off-road parking and a single garage in a nearby block. Recent low-carbon additions — an air source heat pump and solar panels — already reduce running costs.
Constructed using non-traditional system-built methods and with assumed no wall insulation, the house will suit buyers prepared to invest in upgrading energy efficiency and finish. The home currently uses bottled LPG with a boiler and radiators; double glazing has been fitted since 2002 but further improvements are likely to be cost-effective. Broadband speeds are slow and the area records above-average crime and local deprivation indicators — factors to consider for rental returns or resale marketing.
Internally the layout is straightforward: entrance porch, spacious living room, kitchen/diner, cloakroom, three bedrooms and a family bathroom across two floors. The accommodation totals about 958 sq ft and is best described as an average-sized family home with scope to modernise. Cash buyers only — a material selling condition — simplifies transaction timing but restricts mortgage-funded purchasers.
Located in Princetown village within Dartmoor National Park, the location offers scenic moorland views, local amenities and good mobile signal, while Tavistock and Plymouth are within commuting distance. This is a practical buy for an investor or DIY homeowner seeking a characterful property with sustainable features, parking and a large garden, prepared to accept the fabric limitations and carry out improvement work.
