Tom’s Cottage is a 17th‑century mid‑terrace with genuine period character in the popular seaside village of Combe Martin. Exposed beams, a stone fireplace and traditional granite walls deliver charm and atmosphere, while two first‑floor double bedrooms and a flexible ground‑floor dining room/bedroom three give practical space for family life or holiday use.
The accommodation is sensibly arranged with a sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room with pantry and utility area, and a modern ground‑floor bathroom. Gas central heating and partial uPVC/secondary glazing help with comfort; the manageable rear garden and small tool store are low maintenance. Off‑street parking is available nearby via Cormelles Car Park permits rather than an allocated space immediately at the cottage.
Buyers should be aware of a few material points: the EPC rating is F, walls are original granite with no installed insulation (likely affecting running costs), and glazing is only partly upgraded. The layout and condition are generally well presented but offer clear scope for improvements and energy upgrades to add value.
This property suits a first‑time buyer, small family or investor looking for a characterful seaside cottage with refurbishment potential in a very low‑crime, scenic location close to shops, schools and the coast. Its position on Church Street places it within easy reach of village amenities and Exmoor countryside walks, making it an appealing year‑round home or holiday let with prudent energy improvements.
