Set in the heart of Hartland, this characterful mid-terrace cottage offers flexible 4/5-bedroom accommodation across multiple floors. Period features such as stripped pine floors, a fireplace with built-in shelving and high ceilings combine with village views from the rear to create a warm, lived-in home suited to families who need space and character.
The layout includes a front lounge, fitted kitchen, lower-ground dining and utility rooms, three first-floor bedrooms plus a further bedroom and an additional room on the upper level. A generous enclosed rear garden, stone store and outside toilet provide useful outdoor space and storage. The property benefits from double glazing and fast broadband — useful for modern family life.
Practical considerations are clear: the home relies on electric storage heaters and convector heaters, and the granite walls are assumed uninsulated, so heating costs can be higher than modern homes. There is a single bathroom and some rooms would benefit from modernization to fully realise the house’s potential. A neighbour retains a pedestrian right of way across the garden and the property is located in an ageing rural area with limited local services beyond the village amenities.
For buyers seeking village living with character and scope to improve, this house offers genuine potential. It suits a family or someone wanting extra rooms for home working, holiday use or rental income, provided you’re comfortable with the energy profile and staircase-led, multi-level layout.
