Description

Nestled in the heart of Tavistock, this Grade II listed Duke of Bedford cottage embodies a unique blend of historic charm and modern potential. Retaining its quintessential character with original beams and striking exposed stone walls, this two-bedroom property invites creativity for those looking to enhance its rural appeal. The inviting sitting room features a classic fireplace, perfect for adding a log burner. The kitchen/dining area, while functional with ample storage options including built-in cupboards, offers an opportunity for modernization and reconfiguration. A recently updated bathroom adds convenience, but there is still scope for updates in line with personal style preferences. Upstairs, both double bedrooms are bright and spacious, presenting options for layout changes or enhancements. Externally, the front garden provides a laid-to-lawn area complemented by a patio space, while the rear courtyard houses an outhouse currently utilized for storage—ideal for conversion into a home office or studio subject to planning. Given the proximity to local amenities and transport links, this property represents a compelling investment opportunity with potential to increase value through thoughtful renovations.
