Description

This three-bedroom village home presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, combining original character with the potential for modern updates. Tucked away in a desirable semi-rural setting near Barnstaple and Torrington, the property features an enclosed garden with expansive views towards Dartmoor National Park, making it an appealing choice for those seeking space and tranquillity. Arranged over two levels, the layout includes a welcoming entrance hall that leads to a generous 22'9" sitting room. This bright space is enhanced by a woodburning stove and French doors that open to the rear garden — ideal for integrating indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen/dining area, fitted with country-style bespoke units, includes a butler sink and an oil-fired Rayburn, providing both charm and functionality. An adjoining timber-framed garden room adds light and versatility to the ground floor layout, while an inner hallway connects to practical utility and cloakroom spaces. Upstairs, three bedrooms offer comfortable accommodation, with the main bedroom benefiting from an en-suite WC. The family bathroom serves as a convenient shared facility. Outside, the well-maintained rear garden is not only visually appealing—with its stocked borders and vegetable patch—but also offers substantial space for outdoor activities or further landscaping projects. A noteworthy feature of this property is the stone-built workshop/shed located within the garden, which provides ample storage options or could be transformed into a creative workspace. Additionally, there is potential to create off-road parking alongside the cottage, subject to necessary consents. Located on the edge of Burrington village, this home sits strategically between Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks. The proximity to essential amenities—including local shops, a church, village hall, recreational facilities, and public transport—enhances its desirability as both a residence or investment property. With easy access to major routes leading to Exeter and nearby towns like Chulmleigh—known for its vibrant community services including schools and health care—this property positions itself well for future development. Overall, this character-filled home not only offers comfortable living but also holds significant potential for renovation or reconfiguration that could enhance its value in this attractive rural location.
