The Square, Bere Alston, Yelverton

We are delighted to present this fantastic opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented two-bedroom, two-reception room period cottage, ideally situated in the heart of the ever-popular village of Bere Alston. Tucked away in a peaceful and private position, this deceptively spacious home offers the perfect blend of charm, character, and practicality—complete with off-road parking and generous outside space.

The property is just a short stroll from a range of local amenities, including shops, a post office, pubs, a primary school, and transport links, making it an ideal choice for those seeking village life with convenience. Despite its central location, the cottage enjoys a wonderfully quiet setting, offering a true sense of seclusion and calm.

Inside, the accommodation is both welcoming and full of charm, showcasing original character features such as exposed beams, feature fireplaces, and a warm, homely feel throughout. The home has been well cared for and benefits from mains gas-fired central heating for modern comfort.

The layout comprises an entrance porch leading into a cosy yet spacious living room with a character fireplace. There is a separate dining room providing ample space for entertaining, which flows through to a well-equipped kitchen and a rear utility/porch offering additional storage and access to the garden. Upstairs, a central landing leads to two good-sized double bedrooms and a family bathroom with a bath and overhead shower.

Externally, the property benefits from off-road parking to the front, a charming rear courtyard, and a further generous garden/allotment space beyond—offering excellent potential for gardening, outdoor entertaining, or growing your own produce. This outdoor area is a real highlight and rarely found with a cottage of this nature.

This lovely home would suit a wide range of buyers, including first-time buyers, downsizers, holiday let investors, or anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with all the benefits of village life.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, early viewing is highly recommended to fully appreciate all that this delightful home has to offer.

Nestled in the heart of the tranquil Devonshire countryside, the village of Bere Alston has been designated a World Heritage Site, thanks to its rich history and picturesque setting. Tucked away from major roads, this charming village offers a peaceful lifestyle with the rare benefit of its own local railway station. Part of the scenic Tamar Valley Line, the station provides direct connections to the riverside villages of Bere Ferrers and Calstock, and reaches Plymouth City in around 20 minutes.

The village is well-served by a range of local amenities, including a post office with a bakery, two small supermarkets, a butcher, hairdresser, café/restaurant, takeaway, pharmacy, doctors' surgery, primary school, public house, regular bus services, and a petrol station with garage.

Bere Alston lies just 15 minutes by car from both Tavistock and Yelverton, and approximately an hour from Exeter. Surrounded by rolling fields crisscrossed with public footpaths, the area offers stunning walks and panoramic views of the River Tamar and the surrounding countryside. Located on the Bere Peninsula—shaped by the Rivers Tavy and Tamar—this secluded area is steeped in history and natural beauty. The nearby villages of Bere Ferrers and Weir Quay provide access to public slipways and boatyards, as well as a thriving gig rowing club and a range of outdoor pursuits.
