Nestled on a quiet street in the desirable village of Swimbridge, this characterful 2–3 bedroom semi-detached cottage blends period charm with practical modern upgrades. The inviting lounge centres on a striking fireplace and fitted shutters, while the kitchen is well equipped with a gas range, Belfast sink and integrated appliances. A bright dining room and useful entrance porch add everyday convenience.
Upstairs provides two generous bedrooms plus a walk-in dressing area that could serve as a small third bedroom or nursery, and a spacious shower room with scope to reinstate a bath by removing the large storage cupboard. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing installed after 2002, and a low-maintenance gravelled garden that captures the sun.
Be aware this is a traditional granite-built cottage likely without wall insulation, so upgrading thermal insulation could reduce running costs and improve comfort. Parking is on-street only and the garden is very small, making the house best suited to buyers seeking village life rather than large outdoor space. With good local schooling, very low crime and easy access to Barnstaple and the A361, the cottage will appeal to families, downsizers or buyers seeking a well-located period home.
