Description
Nestled within a picturesque hamlet in the South Hams, this charming 16th-century detached cottage offers a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful home now requiring improvement, allowing buyers to modernise and restore to their own taste.
Stepping inside, the property retains a wealth of period features, including parquet flooring and an impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner. The main living space offers a flexible layout with two reception rooms, one of which could serve as a snug or home office and also features a wood burner. The traditional kitchen/diner includes a solid oak fitted kitchen and a 1930s Aga, though updating is likely to be required. A utility room and separate WC complete the ground floor.
On the first floor are three well-proportioned bedrooms, all enjoying a pleasant outlook over the surrounding countryside, along with a family bathroom in need of modernisation. Further potential is found in the attached double garage, part of which incorporates a shower room. Above, a spacious studio offers scope for conversion into an annexe, guest accommodation, or workspace, subject to any necessary consents.
Externally, the wraparound gardens are established but would benefit from general upkeep, featuring a variety of shrubs, mature planting, a greenhouse, and a garden room/shed. The property enjoys open views across neighbouring fields, creating a peaceful rural setting. Additional benefits include solar panels, a pellet boiler, double glazing, and off-road parking for two vehicles.
Harbourneford is a scenic hamlet set along the River Harbourne, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The nearby village of South Brent is within walking distance and offers a range of amenities including shops, healthcare facilities, a community centre, and pubs, while also providing easy access to Dartmoor and the wider South Hams area.
This is a wonderful opportunity to restore and enhance a historic home in an idyllic setting, creating a truly special countryside residence.
