Description

This charming detached cottage presents a unique opportunity for renovation within a serene rural setting. Nestled on a spacious plot, the property retains several character features that hint at its original charm, making it an ideal candidate for modernization and personal customization. The interior layout includes a large utility room equipped with matching base and wall units along with a ceramic sink, which flows seamlessly into the kitchen area featuring rustic cabinetry and an oil-fired Aga stove. The dining room showcases a substantial inglenook fireplace, providing warmth and character, while the adjoining sitting room also boasts another impressive inglenook fireplace. A convenient wet room is located on the ground floor, catering to both guests and family needs. Upstairs, you will find four generously sized double bedrooms serviced by a family bathroom. Outside, the property allows for extensive potential development. The driveway is accessed via timber gates and offers ample space for parking multiple vehicles. The front garden features cobbled areas complemented by raised beds defined by low dry-stone walling, leading around to the rear garden—a mix of lush grass and stone outbuildings that are ripe for modernisation. Additionally, there is a detached stable block with two stables and a tack room already connected to power, appealing to equestrian enthusiasts or those looking to convert these spaces into further accommodation or workshops. Behind the stables lies the main garden area with provisions for planting or establishing even more outdoor living space. Located in Upton—situated at the edge of Exmoor National Park—the cottage benefits from proximity to Dulverton's array of shops and restaurants just six miles away. Larger market towns such as Wellington are within easy reach at approximately 12 miles southeast, providing even broader amenities. This property not only offers peaceful country living but also substantial investment potential in an area renowned for its stunning landscapes and outdoor pursuits. Additional land may be available separately; interested parties should inquire for further details.
