This charming four-bedroom cottage, steeped in history and character, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment in the desirable village of Kings Nympton. Originally constructed in the 18th century, this Grade II listed property was once two separate cottages and retains many period features, including stone and cob construction with a thatched roof that underwent repairs in 2024. The house now requires updating, allowing a new owner to tailor it to their specific tastes and needs.
Upon entering, a hallway leads to the sitting room on the right, complemented by a utility room with direct outdoor access. A well-equipped bathroom is conveniently located on the ground floor. To the left, there is a dairy area that connects to a spacious dining room featuring an inglenook fireplace and woodburner—currently decommissioned but potentially functional with some work. The kitchen breakfast room offers garden views and direct access to an outdoor patio.
Upstairs, you will find four bedrooms—two doubles and two singles—providing ample accommodation options. A floorplan is available for reference to help visualize the layout.
The property's exterior includes a front boxed hedge and side access leading to an expansive rear garden with mature shrubs and a large lawn area. An outbuilding adds additional storage or workspace potential. At the rear of the garden lies an additional plot measuring approximately 0.1 acres. This land has development potential subject to obtaining necessary permissions, making it an attractive prospect for future expansion or building projects.
Kings Nympton itself offers essential local amenities including a public house, primary school, and community facilities like village halls and churches. The nearby towns of South Molton and Chulmleigh provide further services such as shops, health centres, and schools while maintaining vibrant community atmospheres.
Transport links are convenient in this rural setting; the A361 provides swift connections to Barnstaple and Tiverton for broader travel options. With rail stations close by on the Tarka line and mainline services at Tiverton Parkway, commuting or traveling is straightforward.
Nestled amidst North Devon’s beautiful countryside, this property invites exploration of numerous recreational activities from walking to cycling along picturesque trails. Both Exmoor National Park and North Devon’s stunning coastline are easily accessible for those seeking outdoor adventures. This cottage not only offers immediate living space but also significant potential as a renovation project or investment opportunity within a charming community setting.
