Description

This Grade II listed character cottage, located in the heart of a desirable village, presents a unique opportunity for renovators and investors. While the property requires modernization, its inherent charm and potential for enhancement are readily apparent. The layout includes a lounge, kitchen/breakfast room, conservatory, shower room, and cloakroom/WC on the ground floor, while two bedrooms and an additional cloakroom/WC can be found upstairs. The cottage is equipped with electric heating and features two areas of garden space that could be revitalized to create outdoor living zones or attractive landscaping. This property represents a solid project for individuals looking to make their mark in a sought-after location. Abbotskerswell is known for its vibrant community atmosphere and offers essential amenities such as a primary school and local inn/restaurant. Coupled with various activity groups and sports clubs, residents enjoy a balanced lifestyle within this picturesque village. Convenient public transport options facilitate easy access to the nearby market town of Newton Abbot, where a broader range of shopping and recreational facilities can be found along with a mainline railway station. Additionally, proximity to the A380 dual carriageway enhances accessibility to Exeter and beyond. Inside, the cottage greets you with an entrance hall that opens into the lounge featuring traditional alcoves and leading into a straightforward kitchen/breakfast area. The adjoining conservatory provides ample natural light and connects to the rear garden. Upstairs, both bedrooms offer practical living spaces with sufficient windows ensuring good ventilation. The south-facing rear garden is partly walled and consists of both paved patio areas and gravel sections—an ideal canvas for future landscaping efforts or expansion ideas. There is also on-street parking available. It’s worth noting that this property has previously held lapsed planning permissions for extensions and garage construction; these opportunities could be revisited by prospective buyers interested in maximizing the space further. The cottage benefits from mains water, drainage, electricity, and although gas is present on site, it remains unconnected at this time. This property is offered subject to grant of probate; however, it stands as an appealing proposition for those seeking an investment in a thriving community filled with potential.
