Compact two-bed cottage with loft potential in the heart of Ottery St. Mary.
Victorian end-of-terrace with period features and good ceiling height
A compact Victorian end-of-terrace set in the heart of Ottery St. Mary, this two-bedroom house blends period charm with practical modern updates. The sitting room retains a feature fireplace and good ceiling height, while the kitchen/diner is roomy enough for everyday family living and modern appliances. Modern uPVC double glazing and gas central heating make the property comfortable and energy-efficient on day one.
Upstairs there are two double bedrooms and a sizable loft offering clear potential to add further accommodation (subject to planning permission and building regs). The secluded courtyard garden is low-maintenance and private — a neat outdoor space for plants or a small seating area. Broadband and mobile signal are strong, and the town’s amenities, schools and transport links are within easy reach.
Notable practical points are straightforward: the house is modest in overall size (about 518 sq ft) with a very small plot and on-street parking only, plus local council car-park permits/fees may apply. The cavity walls are assumed to be uninsulated, so further insulation work could improve comfort and running costs. For first-time buyers or those seeking a manageable period home in a very affluent, family-friendly town, this offers solid potential with sensible scope for improvement.
Viewing will show how the layout and loft potential could suit a growing household or a buyer wanting an attractive starter home close to good schools and local services.
