Chain-free 3-bed village cottage with extensive garden, polytunnel and parking.
Chain free detached cottage in desirable Swimbridge village
Tannery Cottage is a character-filled, chain-free detached cottage in the heart of Swimbridge. Comfortable living spaces combine original features — a striking fireplace and former bread oven — with recent updates such as a farmhouse-style kitchen and luxury vinyl tiled flooring. The dual-aspect lounge, cosy snug and dining room with wood-burning stove make this a warm, versatile home for family life or quiet country living.
Set on a large, well-landscaped plot, the garden is a major asset: sectioned outdoor areas, a gravel seating space, patio, mature planting, an orchard area, fully fenced vegetable patch, polytunnel and potting shed provide extensive opportunity for gardening and outdoor entertaining. Off-street driveway parking for up to three vehicles adds practical convenience in this village setting.
Upstairs provides three double bedrooms, including a main bedroom with built-in wardrobe and en-suite shower. The property benefits from modern central heating (boiler with underfloor heating), fast broadband and excellent mobile signal — useful for remote working or family connectivity. Local village amenities, a good primary school and regular bus links to Barnstaple and South Molton support everyday needs while North Devon coast and Exmoor remain within easy driving distance.
Notable considerations: the property sits in a medium flood-risk area, which buyers should investigate and insure for. The house is of average overall internal size for its plot, and while well-presented, buyers wanting major extension should check planning constraints in this village. Council tax is moderate. This is a strong choice for buyers seeking a ready-to-enjoy country cottage with substantial garden and gardening potential.
