Description

Nestled in a tranquil rural hamlet, this Grade II Listed thatched cottage exudes historical charm while offering significant potential for renovation and investment. Comprising three bedrooms, a cozy living room with a log burner, and a kitchen/breakfast area, the property is laid out to facilitate comfortable living. Recent updates include a new thatched roof and some replacement windows, alongside the installation of a private treatment plant in 2022. Although the home retains its period character with exposed stone detailing and original features, further modernization could enhance both functionality and value. The ground floor provides ample space with an inviting reception area that showcases wood-effect flooring and traditional beams. The kitchen boasts fitted units and vaulted ceilings, creating an airy atmosphere perfect for culinary endeavors. A convenient downstairs shower room adds practicality to the layout. Upstairs, three well-sized bedrooms benefit from natural light streaming through their respective windows. Outside, the property is bordered by lush gardens at both the front and rear, which overlook adjacent farmland—ideal for outdoor relaxation or potential landscaping projects. The gated driveway offers privacy along with secure parking. Strategically located between Bishops Tawton and Chittlehampton, residents can easily access Barnstaple's extensive amenities within a short drive. Essential transport links are also nearby; the A361 North Devon Link Road facilitates convenient journeys to the M5 at Junction 27 and beyond to Tiverton Parkway on the Paddington line. Investors will find this property's combination of historic appeal and scenic location to be attractive for rental opportunities or long-term appreciation. Whether seeking a family residence or an investment project with substantial upside potential, this cottage stands as a promising option amidst North Devon's charming countryside.
