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 * see notes below) 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.

Externally: To the front of the property is an attractive courtyard garden with Devon stone walled boundaries leading to the front door with a further private seating area available through the double door of the porch.  There is a right of way for the cottage around the rear of the property which is accessed via the French doors in the main bedroom.

Lounge: (3.65m x 4.78m/12'0" x 15'8") The deceptively spacious Lounge features a multi-fuel stove and characterful window seat as well as a clever roof light, filling the room with additional natural light. The Lounge also provides an additional storage cupboard which has space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer.

Kitchen: (2.09m x 1.89m/6'10" x 6'2") The well equipped kitchen features shaker style cabinetry with integrated appliances including an electric oven and hob with overhead extractor fan, single stainless steel sink, integrated fridge and freezer and wine rack.  The Kitchen overlooks the front of the property with laminate flooring which leads into:-

Bathroom: (2.04m x 1.80m/6'8" x 5'11") The modern bathroom is fully tiled with bath and integrated shower, low level w.c, handbasin with vanity unit and deep recessed window sill.

Large Loft/Attic storage space: (3.15m x 6.88m/9'6" x 22'6") The large Attic Room which is used for storage has planning approval for dormer windows to be installed to create a generous upstairs  living space.  The  attic also provides a further large inbuilt under-eave storage cupboard.
