Summary - FERNHILL COTTAGES 2 PONSWORTHY NEWTON ABBOT TQ13 7PH
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Characterful rural retreat with private garden and no onward chain.
3 bedrooms with period features and inglenook fireplace
Set within the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this stone-built cottage blends period charm with countryside calm. The sitting room features an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner, exposed beams and traditional granite steps that create a warm, characterful living space. The cottage benefits from double glazing installed after 2002 and is offered freehold and chain free, making for a straightforward purchase.
Accommodation is arranged over two floors with a galley kitchen, three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. The private lawned garden, accessed from the rear kitchen door or lane, sits above the house and offers pleasant outlooks and a timber potting shed with log storage. The property has been well presented but has also previously been used as a rental.
Practical considerations: heating is by electric storage heaters and room heaters, the stone walls are likely uninsulated, and the EPC is Band D. Mobile phone signal is poor in the hamlet, although ultrafast broadband is available. These factors suit buyers seeking a character cottage in a quiet, remote location and who are comfortable with electric heating and potential insulation improvements.
This cottage will particularly appeal to downsizers or those seeking a rural retreat within easy driving distance of Exeter and Plymouth, and South Devon beaches. Its location in a small collection of period properties near the Webburn River offers rare tranquillity inside a protected National Park setting.
