Set on the edge of Sampford Spiney within Dartmoor National Park, Brook Cottage is a detached, characterful home offering three double bedrooms and generous living space across approximately 1,270 sq ft. Period details such as exposed beams, a stone fireplace with wood burner and built-in storage give the cottage warmth and charm, while elevated windows bring pleasant green views over neighbouring fields. The main reception is a spacious combined sitting/dining room that suits family life and entertaining.
Outside, the plot is a standout feature — roughly a third of an acre of gardens that slope down to a brook, plus fruit trees and wildlife-friendly areas. Practical amenities include off-street parking for 4–6 cars opposite the house and useful outbuildings/Stores. The home's layout includes a sizeable kitchen with walk-in larder, a ground-floor study and a single family bathroom serving three good-sized double bedrooms upstairs.
Important practical points: heating is by oil boiler with several night storage heaters and the property has private drainage. The granite walls are characteristic but likely have limited insulation. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal only average — key considerations for anyone who needs reliable home working. There is one bathroom only and some elements (heating, insulation, and connectivity) may need updating to modern standards.
Brook Cottage will suit buyers drawn to rural life who value character, space and outdoor living. It offers immediate, comfortable living with clear scope to modernise systems and improve energy performance, making it a strong proposition for families wanting countryside seclusion or buyers seeking a sympathetic renovation project.
