2 bed cottage for sale

Combeinteignhead, Newton Abbot TQ12

Offered to the market for the first time in over 50 years, this delightful detached Stuart-era cottage is nestled in the sought-after village of Combeinteignhead. Brimming with character and offering far-reaching views across unspoilt countryside, this “chocolate box” home offers a rare opportunity to own a slice of English village charm.

Accommodation

A welcoming entrance porch provides a practical space for coats and shoes, creating a clear separation between the outdoors and the home’s two principal ground floor rooms. Stepping through the inner door, you’re greeted by a well-proportioned dining room with views to the front garden. Off the dining room is the ground floor bathroom, fitted with a bath, separate shower cubicle, sink, and a handy storage cupboard.

A second door from the dining room leads into the spacious living room, which features a central Inglenook fireplace and dual-aspect windows overlooking the rear of the property. Exposed ceiling beams add to the cottage’s period appeal.

From the living room, a hallway leads to a separate WC and into the kitchen, which is part of a 1970s rear extension. The kitchen offers generous worktop and storage space, along with room for an electric oven and hob. A traditional Rayburn oven adds a touch of rustic charm.

Upstairs, the property boasts two generously sized double bedrooms, each with dual-aspect views and built-in storage. The two rooms are separated by the staircase landing. While the cottage would benefit from some light cosmetic updating, the ridge of the thatched roof has been recently renewed.

Outside

A pathway from the roadside leads up a small flight of steps to the front garden, which is laid to concrete with mature flowers and shrubs. There is space for a shed, and an archway leads to the rear of the property. Here, you'll find a lean-to store and access to a level rear courtyard garden that offers lovely views across the surrounding countryside. The rear garden also provides direct access to the kitchen.
