Summary - Iddesleigh, Winkleigh, Devon, EX19 EX19 8BN
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Four-bedroom hamlet home with orchard, outbuildings and wide open views.
Four bedrooms and two bathrooms within a character stone and cob cottage
Approximately 0.8 acre plot with orchard, lawns and mature planting
Extensive outbuildings: workshop, tractor barn, double garage and stores
Superb long-distance views to Dartmoor from multiple rooms
Dated accommodation — property needs renovation and modernisation
Oil-fired heating; Rayburn provides hot water and cooking flexibility
Very slow broadband and no mobile signal — poor connectivity
Remoter location; limited nearby services, travel required for amenities
Set in an elevated rural position with far-reaching views across rolling farmland to Dartmoor, this four-bedroom detached cottage offers classic character and substantial outdoor space. The stone and cob construction, inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams create immediate charm, while extensive outbuildings, orchard and a very large garden of about 0.8 acre give practical scope for hobbies, storage or small-scale equestrian/amenity use.
The accommodation is liveable but dated and explicitly offered as needing renovation. Internally there are two generous reception rooms, a triple-aspect kitchen/breakfast room with an oil-fired Rayburn, and a useful pantry and workshop/boiler rooms attached. Modern comforts include double glazing, but the property retains traditional construction (cob walls) which will need specialist maintenance and sensitive updating.
Practical considerations are clear: heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators, broadband speeds are very slow and there is no reliable mobile signal — factors to weigh if remote working or constant connectivity is essential. The setting is remote and peaceful, with the nearest pub about a mile away and Hatherleigh market town five miles; transport and services are limited accordingly.
For buyers seeking a country lifestyle, the house offers strong potential — renovate to taste and retain character, or update systems and finishes for improved comfort and energy efficiency. Outbuildings, garage and ample parking add practical value, but renovation costs and ongoing maintenance of cob construction should be budgeted for.
