Located in a scenic hamlet within the South Hams, this delightful detached cottage dating back to the 16th century presents an exceptional opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. The interior showcases a number of original features, such as charming parquet flooring and a prominent inglenook fireplace complete with a wood burner, lending character to the living space. The layout includes two versatile reception areas—one ideally suited for use as a snug or home office—each featuring its own wood burner. The traditional kitchen/dining area is equipped with a solid oak fitted kitchen and a vintage 1930s Aga, although it would benefit from modernization. There’s also a utility room and separate WC on the ground floor.
On the upper level, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms that offer lovely views of the surrounding landscape, along with a family bathroom that requires updating. The attached double garage includes part that contains a shower room, while above it sits an expansive studio, ripe for conversion into additional living space like an annexe or home office (subject to relevant permissions).
The exterior boasts wraparound gardens that are well-established yet need some maintenance work, featuring mature shrubs, planting, a greenhouse, and a garden room/shed. The property enjoys picturesque countryside views that contribute to its tranquil rural atmosphere. Additional advantages include solar panels, a pellet boiler, double glazing, and off-road parking for two vehicles.
Harbourneford itself is an idyllic hamlet flanking the River Harbourne and is enveloped by stunning countryside. Just a short walk away lies South Brent village which offers various amenities including shops, healthcare options, community facilities, and pubs while providing easy access to Dartmoor and the wider South Hams region.
This property offers an exciting canvas for those looking to restore and enhance its historic charm into a truly memorable countryside residence.
