Description - A beautifully presented and thoughtfully renovated two-bedroom period cottage, offering considerable charm and comfort in one of Dartmoor's most desirable villages. Behind its traditional façade, the cottage reveals a light, welcoming interior rich in original features including exposed ceiling beams, period fireplaces and an impressive granite inglenook fitted with a wood-burning stove creating a cosy focal point for winter evenings. The ground floor is arranged around an entrance lobby which provides access to the principal living areas and staircase to the first floor.
The sitting room is particularly attractive, enjoying generous proportions, exposed beams and direct access via a glazed door to the rear courtyard, allowing for a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen/breakfast room blends traditional styling with modern practicality and is fitted with a range of base level cabinets complemented by granite and oak worktops. There is space for an electric cooker, fridge and freezer, an integrated dishwasher and room for a breakfast table, making it a natural hub for everyday living. On the first floor, a landing with exposed wooden floorboards leads to the principal bedroom, which benefits from fitted cupboards and a period fireplace. There is a second double bedroom, along with a modern family bathroom fitted with an electric shower, and a separate WC.
Outside - From the sitting room, a door opens directly onto a charming and sheltered rear courtyard, providing a private outdoor space ideal for morning coffee, alfresco dining or container gardening. Beyond the courtyard are two useful stone outbuildings which have been partially converted and upgraded, offering excellent flexibility and potential (subject to any necessary consents). One outbuilding is insulated and features two roof lights along with a WC and sink, and is currently used as a garden office/summer house. The second provides practical utility space with plumbing for a washer/dryer/freezer and ample storage for bicycles and gardening equipment.
