Summary - Nethercott Lodge, Iddesleigh EX19 8BD
3 bed 1 bath Detached
Character cottage with huge paddock, outbuildings and quiet rural views — scope for improvement.
Grade II listed cottage with original beams and inglenook fireplace
Nethercott Lodge is a Grade II listed three-bedroom detached cottage set in about 6.9 acres of garden and paddock, offering authentic period character with exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace and distant views to Dartmoor. The layout includes a ground-floor bedroom, sitting room, kitchen/dining room with an oil-fired Rayburn, utility room, bathroom and two first-floor bedrooms with a cloakroom — a practical family or smallholding home with immediate outdoor space.
The grounds are a major feature: well-stocked established gardens, a timber lodge, greenhouse, workshop/stable, tack room and tractor store provide useful storage and hobby space. A brick-paved drive with parking for around three vehicles and direct gated access to the paddock suit equestrian, smallholding or leisure uses. The semi-rural location is peaceful yet within reach of Iddesleigh village and nearby Hatherleigh and Okehampton services.
Buyers should note this is a listed property, which will complicate alterations and may increase repair costs. The house is historic (c.1800) with granite walls assumed uninsulated; some upgrading may be needed for energy efficiency. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is limited; a new drainage system is due to be installed shortly. Heating is provided by an oil-fired Rayburn (hot water and cooking) and the listing also records a ground-source heat pump/underfloor electric system — confirm current services and running costs during enquiry.
Overall, Nethercott Lodge will suit buyers seeking a character cottage with substantial land, outbuilding utility and rural privacy. It offers scope for sympathetic improvement rather than immediate low-maintenance living, and its listed status should be considered by anyone planning significant alterations.
