Set in the peaceful hamlet of Parkham, this three-bedroom detached cottage combines period character with practical outdoor space. Two reception rooms with log burners, a generous kitchen and large utility room suit family life, while upgraded elements — a newly fitted boiler, loft insulation and UPVC double glazing — help with modern comfort.
The property sits within approximately 0.81 acres of paddock (two plots) and includes traditional stone barns and assorted outbuildings. Those external buildings provide real potential for hobby equestrian use, smallholding or ancillary uses subject to local planning consent. The mature cottage gardens, tucked pathways and a small wildlife pond add immediate outdoor enjoyment and privacy.
Buyers should note the house is presented as a character home that requires some updating and improvement in places. Heating is oil-fired with radiators; walls are cavity-built and assumed uninsulated, so further insulation work may be needed to improve efficiency. The outbuildings are substantial but have no specific planning permission recorded and would need formal approvals for conversion.
Parkham offers village amenities including a primary school, community hall and pub, with easy access to Bideford, Great Torrington and the North Devon coast. For families and those seeking a countryside lifestyle with development upside, this cottage is a rare opportunity to combine comfortable living with sizeable land and useful outbuildings.
