A substantial rear extension has significantly enhanced the accommodation, creating a versatile and sociable layout, while a recently renewed thatched roof ensures the cottage remains both attractive and well maintained.

Outside, generous gardens with a substantial outbuilding enjoy a high degree of privacy and beautiful views across the surrounding countryside, complemented by the convenience of off-road parking. Situated within a thriving village community with excellent local amenities, this charming home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy period living in a picturesque West Devon setting.

Figures from MHCLG (Open Government Licence v3): the average bill for each band across Torridge, including the typical parish precept, so a parish's own bill can differ a little. Discounts lower the bill, such as 25% off for an adult living alone.
