Summary - LADYSMITH COTTAGE WHILBOROUGH NEWTON ABBOT TQ12 5LP
4 bed 2 bath Semi-Detached
Character stone cottage with modern kitchen, private gardens and gated parking in a quiet hamlet.
Grade II listed — alterations may require consent and limit changes
Ladysmith Cottage is a charming Grade II listed semi-detached home in the quiet, sought-after hamlet of North Whilborough. The house combines genuine cottage character — exposed beams, stonework and a wood burner — with contemporary comforts including a modern kitchen/breakfast room with bi-fold doors and a high-spec first-floor bathroom. A ground-floor bedroom and shower room give practical flexibility for multigenerational living or guests.
Externally the property sits on a decent, fully enclosed plot with two terraces and a higher-level lawn, offering private outside space for family life and summer dining. A gated off-street parking area provides useful vehicle access in this rural setting. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent and there is very low local crime, supporting comfortable everyday living.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, so alterations will be constrained and may require listed-building consents. Double glazing is present but the install date is unknown. Council Tax is currently Band D. These are factual considerations for buyers who may wish to adapt or extend the property.
This is a family-friendly village setting with easy access to Newton Abbot, Torbay and nearby schools including highly regarded grammar options. For buyers seeking a characterful home with modern conveniences, private gardens and rural charm, Ladysmith Cottage offers a rare mix — provided you are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed property.
