Walk to countryside and Kingsbridge amenities from this charming village home.
Chain-free two double bedrooms with vaulted master and Velux windows
A charming two-double-bedroom cottage in West Alvington offered chain-free and beautifully presented throughout. The sitting room retains exposed beams and a large open fireplace, creating immediate character and a cosy focal point. The kitchen opens onto a sunlit slate courtyard, with a much larger detached, south-facing garden accessed by right of way — a rare combination of low-maintenance courtyard and generous lawned space.
Practical points are clear: heating is by electric storage heaters and the property currently relies on an open fire; the Energy Performance is E. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and the cottage dates from before 1900, so buyers should factor potential improvement and maintenance costs into their budget. Parking is on-street only, and the property includes a flying freehold.
For first-time buyers this cottage offers immediate move-in readiness, character features and strong connectivity — fast FTTP broadband and excellent mobile signal — while being within walking distance of Kingsbridge amenities, primary school and countryside walks. The garden and courtyard give scope to expand outdoor living without major structural works, but a survey is advised to confirm insulation and heating upgrade options.
