Charming Grade II cottage with wood-burner and far-reaching Dartmoor views.
Grade II listed cottage with period character and timbered ceiling
A characterful Grade II listed cottage on Mary Street, thoughtfully updated by a skilled carpenter and offered with a high-end finish. The living room features a timbered ceiling and cosy wood-burner; both the living room and principal bedroom enjoy far-reaching views across Dartmoor. The kitchen has modern grey-fronted units with solid beech worktops, and a raised outdoor space provides a pleasant, sheltered spot for sitting out.
Suited to a downsizer or buyer seeking a compact, low-maintenance home with period charm, the cottage is freehold and set within easy walking distance of Bovey Tracey town centre amenities, shops and a new supermarket. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the house sits in a generally affluent, low-crime area with good access to countryside walks and the South Devon coast.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves character but will restrict permitted alterations and may complicate repairs. There is an area of flying freehold and the plot and rooms are very small, so space is limited. These factors should be considered by anyone planning alterations or extensions.
Overall, this is a compact, well-finished period cottage offering immediate comfort, attractive views and a convenient town-edge location — a strong choice for someone wanting character without extensive garden maintenance, provided they are comfortable with listed status and the cottage’s modest scale.
