Set in the heart of Broadhempston, this substantial period cottage combines traditional charm with generous family accommodation across multiple levels. The house offers four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms, arranged around attractive wood and parquet floors, high ceilings and solid oak doors. The master bedroom enjoys a Juliet balcony, walk-in wardrobe and en suite for a calm private retreat.
Outside is a major selling point: a large gravelled courtyard, double garage, useful outbuildings and truly magical landscaped gardens with pond, handcrafted timber pavilion, espaliered fruit trees, raised kitchen beds, poly tunnel and automatic watering. Solar panels on the garage currently benefit from an economical tariff with around 11 years remaining. A two-storey store/workshop on the plot is offered as convertible subject to planning, presenting practical scope to extend or create ancillary accommodation.
Practical considerations are set out clearly. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators, the property has an EPC rating of D, and the original sandstone/limestone walls are likely uninsulated. Council Tax is band G and running costs should be considered. Double glazing is present but install dates are unknown. For families the village offers an outstanding primary school and easy access to Totnes amenities and mainline rail links.
This home will suit buyers seeking period character, extensive gardens and flexible outbuildings who are comfortable with oil heating and the maintenance needs of an older stone property. It offers immediate ready-to-enjoy spaces plus clear potential to add value with sympathetic upgrades or the planned conversion of the two-storey store (subject to permissions).
