Description

This three-bedroom character cottage is set in the centre of Ipplepen and is offered with no onward chain. The ground floor has a sitting room with a log-burning stove, a second reception room and a kitchen, with scope to update the accommodation while retaining its period features. A driveway provides off-road parking at the front, and there is an enclosed courtyard garden to the rear. Upstairs are two double bedrooms, an office or potential single bedroom, and a shower room. A staircase leads to a loft room previously used as a hobbies room; it is not classified as a bedroom and could also serve as a studio, games room or storage space. The village has a shop, pub, primary school and regular bus services. Newton Abbot, Totnes and the South Devon coast are accessible from Ipplepen. The property offers flexible existing accommodation and the opportunity for a buyer to modernise it to their requirements.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

78out of 100
Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a good-value character cottage to acquire and make your own: the £240,000 asking price works out at £210 per sq ft, around 31% below the local average. The two reception rooms, stove, exposed beams and flexible loft room give it plenty of character and useful space, while the enclosed courtyard is already usable. Bidding is not applicable here; the price is by private treaty.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the narrow galley kitchen and refresh dated finishes and flooring to give the cottage a more cohesive, contemporary feel.
  • Make the most of the two reception rooms, including the stove-and-beam sitting room, for flexible dining, working or relaxing.
  • Use the versatile loft room as a hobby space, studio or storage, and enjoy the enclosed courtyard as an established outdoor area.
