Summary - 2 WESTCOTT COTTAGES DOCCOMBE NEWTON ABBOT TQ13 8SU
4 bed 2 bath Detached
A private, characterful family home with 2½ acres and panoramic rural views.
About 1,875 sq ft over two floors with flexible 4/5 bedroom accommodation
Little Westcott is a charming late‑Victorian/earlier cottage set on about 2½ acres on the eastern flank of Dartmoor, offering exceptional privacy, countryside panoramas and direct access to mixed rough grazing and broadleaved woodland. The house provides generous family accommodation across about 1,875 sq ft with two reception rooms, a kitchen/dining room opening to a west‑facing veranda, four good bedrooms (plus a small additional room) and two bathrooms. A detached double garage (circa 400 sq ft), parking and a garden studio add practical space for hobbies or storage.
The property retains character features including wood panelling in the principal bedroom, an open fireplace and granite external walls. Heating is by a boiler with radiators supplemented by wood‑burning; mains electricity is connected but water is from a private borehole and drainage is private (compliance not warranted). The setting within Dartmoor National Park brings peaceful rural living while remaining about 10 miles from Exeter and the M5.
Practical points to note: the cottage requires renovation and upgrading to fully exploit the site and views — improvements likely include insulation of solid granite walls, kitchen and bathroom modernisation and general updating. EPC rated E and Council Tax Band F reflect running costs. Broadband and digital connectivity are reported inconsistently (a listed 57 Mbps download but local notes flag slow speeds), so confirm online performance if remote working is essential. Overall, this is a stylish countryside home with substantial land and scope for sensitive improvement for family living or a rural retreat.
