This four-bedroom property presents a noteworthy opportunity for renovation and investment in the charming village of Crockernwell, situated on the eastern edge of Dartmoor National Park. This location is both picturesque and conveniently accessible, with nearby amenities in Cheriton Bishop and Crediton providing essential services and educational options. The vibrant city of Exeter is just 12 miles away, offering a wider range of cultural, educational, and recreational facilities along with excellent transport links.
Cross Cottage is currently configured to include two reception areas, a kitchen equipped with an oil-fired Rayburn, and a downstairs bathroom. With three bedrooms located on the first floor and an additional fourth bedroom on the upper level, the property offers ample space that could be modernized into a comfortable family home. Notably, there's potential for expansion (subject to planning permission), allowing for further development that could significantly enhance value.
The entrance to Cross Cottage is marked by black metal gates leading into a courtyard that provides off-street parking. Inside, you enter the dining room where original features such as an inglenook fireplace may still be intact beneath contemporary updates. The kitchen overlooks the courtyard and garden, creating inviting views while cooking or entertaining. The sitting room features double windows that allow natural light to flood the space.
Upstairs accommodates three bedrooms while the top floor includes a fourth bedroom alongside a generous storeroom that holds promise for conversion into additional living space (subject to planning regulations).
The property also benefits from outdoor features; a useful carport adjoins the main house and there’s ample storage for gardening equipment within a large storehouse. The south-facing garden is predominantly laid to lawn, bordered by traditional stone walls, creating a pleasant outdoor retreat. Existing structures include two greenhouses and a wooden shed.
Cross Cottage is not listed but falls within Dartmoor National Park boundaries, providing both preservation benefits and regional charm. With its solid foundation and potential for modern upgrades, this property represents an attractive prospect for those looking to invest in a renovation project in an appealing countryside setting.
