This recently renovated three-bedroom stone cottage blends traditional character with practical, modern comforts. Two reception rooms each have new wood-burning stoves, and the country-style kitchen includes built-in appliances; double glazing and a refreshed bathroom complete the comfortable interior. The property is presented ready to move into while retaining period features like wooden floors and granite walls.
Outside, a private courtyard garden with patio and a lawned area offers quiet outdoor space and attractive countryside views across neighbouring fields. A useful stone-built shed with power and lighting and off-street parking add everyday convenience. The village setting is peaceful, with easy access to coastal footpaths and local amenities in Abbotsham and nearby Bideford.
Buyers should note practical constraints: heating is from an oil-fired boiler (not on a community supply) and the stone walls are understood to have no built-in insulation, which can affect running costs despite double glazing. The property is in a high flood-risk area; interested buyers should seek specific flood and insurance advice. The cottage dates from the 1930s–40s and, while renovated, may still require ongoing maintenance typical of older stone buildings (roof condition not formally reported).
