This charming Grade II Listed detached thatched cottage, along with a separate annexe/studio, offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment potential. Nestled in secluded gardens overlooking the picturesque countryside, this property features four bedrooms and is ideally situated just on the edge of High Bickington village. Within walking distance to local amenities including a community shop, school, and public house, it's a perfect blend of rural tranquility and accessibility.
Dating back to the early 18th Century, Homewell Cottage maintains its original character with painted rendered elevations beneath its traditional thatched roof. It has seen some improvements with a thoughtfully designed two-storey extension and the addition of a detached garage. Opportunities for further enhancement are abundant; prospective buyers could explore extending the main house or converting the garage into additional living space (subject to planning approval).
The garden spans approximately 0.37 acres, providing ample room for landscaping projects or even additional extensions if desired. The interiors boast original features like a dual-aspect sitting room with an Inglenook fireplace and an inviting dining room with exposed beams. The kitchen is functional yet could benefit from modernisation or expansion to maximise its potential as part of any refurbishment plans.
With further investment in updates such as bathroom refurbishments or enhancements to the annexe—which is currently used as an office but has potential for conversion into extra accommodation—this property can be transformed into an exceptional family home or holiday let. The tranquil surroundings are complemented by access to local recreational facilities including golf clubs and beautiful North Devon beaches, making it not only a lovely residence but also an exciting investment opportunity.
