Farriers Cottage – A Charming One-Bedroom Home in Whitchurch

Once the village farrier’s workshop, Farriers Cottage has been thoughtfully updated to create a welcoming one-bedroom home with further potential to extend the attic storage (STPP) that blends character with modern comfort. Set on the edge of the sought-after village of Whitchurch, it offers charm, convenience, and a wonderful location close to Dartmoor.

Inside, the cottage features a lounge with a wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings, and a separate dining room. The galley-style kitchen is well laid out, while the modern bathroom provides a fresh and practical finish. The double bedroom is full of character, and a useful attic space offers additional storage or potential for further use (subject to any consents).

Outside, the cottage enjoys a delightful setting not far from the village pub, local shop, and the Ofsted ‘Good’-rated primary school. With Dartmoor National Park only a stone’s throw away, the surrounding area offers endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and outdoor adventure.

Farriers Cottage is perfectly suited as a cosy home, a weekend retreat, or an appealing holiday let, combining historic charm with everyday practicality.
