Set on a historic Sandhill Street in Ottery St Mary, this two-bedroom Victorian cottage offers central convenience and straightforward potential for a first-time buyer. The house has period character, stripped floorboards in the main bedroom and a bright kitchen/breakfast room fitted with modern white units. A south-facing patio garden delivers direct sunlight and outdoor space despite the very small plot.
The layout is compact across multiple levels: a sitting room leads down to the kitchen, a half-landing bedroom benefits from a Velux skylight, and the main bedroom sits on the upper floor with built-in wardrobes. Practicals include gas central heating, double-glazed windows in parts, a well-appointed bathroom with shower over bath, and fast broadband — useful for homeworking.
This property is a clear renovation opportunity. It is described as a derelict fixer-upper in places and will suit buyers prepared to invest in improvement and cosmetic works. Note there is a legal right of access for the neighbouring property to the tiled hallway, and an adjacent area of garden belongs to the adjoining house, limiting outdoor expansion.
Positioned moments from shops, schools and community amenities and set in a very affluent area with good transport links, the cottage is attractive for buyers wanting central town living and long-term value created through renovation. Flooding risk is low and tenure is freehold, with relatively low council tax costs.
