Description

Situated in the picturesque village of Holbeton within the South Hams, this quaint character cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors. The property, once part of the historic cider press, showcases a reverse-level design that enhances natural light throughout its spaces. The upper floor features a striking vaulted lounge/dining area where exposed beams and stonework add character, complemented by multiple windows that bring in ample daylight. The kitchen, while functional, offers considerable potential for modernization with its integrated oven and hob and plenty of workspace available. On the ground floor, there are two good-sized bedrooms along with a family bathroom and a storage utility room, providing a solid foundation for creating comfortable living quarters. The principal bedroom conveniently opens directly onto the rear terrace leading out to a garden area that can be transformed into an inviting outdoor space. Although the property requires some updating—a reflection of its pricing—it stands as an excellent investment opportunity given its desirable location and community-oriented setting. Additionally, it comes with shared freehold ownership, removing ground rent concerns while benefiting from low service costs. Holbeton is admired for its supportive community atmosphere and offers easy access to local amenities such as parks, schools, and public transport links to Plymouth. This cottage not only serves as a charming residence but holds strong potential as a holiday retreat or vacation rental in this sought-after coastal area of South Devon.
