Prospect Cottage is a detached period home (circa 1886) set in the sought-after village of High Bickington. The property occupies about 0.18 acres with two garden areas, ample parking and attached stone barns offering scope for storage, workshop use or conversion subject to planning permission. It sits centrally to village amenities and good local schools, with Barnstaple and the North Devon coast within reasonable driving distance.
The house requires full renovation throughout and is offered for CASH BUYERS ONLY. There is clear potential to extend or redevelop the plot and to adapt the adjoining barns, but any such proposals would need planning permission and the sale is subject to an overage clause relating to future development. The property has mains gas and mains services connected, majority double glazing and traditional cob walls beneath a tiled roof.
Practical drawbacks are material and should be factored into purchase plans: the property needs renovation, has an EPC rating of G, and broadband speeds are slow. That said, for a buyer able to carry out works (or an investor seeking a redevelopment opportunity) the location, plot size and attached barns present genuine upside once planning and refurbishment are resolved.
This is a chain-free freehold sale in a very low-crime rural community. Cash buyers and developers looking for a period property with scope to add value will find this a tangible, if hands-on, opportunity.
