Read the full agent description
Situated in the heart of Hatherleigh, this charming 18th Century terraced cottage offers a wonderful blend of period character, modern improvements and practical living space. The property has been thoughtfully renovated while retaining many of the features that give a home of this age its appeal, including a particularly impressive inglenook fireplace with multi fuel stove. Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is an excellent opportunity for a first time buyer, those looking for a low maintenance second home, or a property with holiday letting potential.
On entering, the welcoming sitting room immediately sets the tone, with the inglenook fireplace providing a superb focal point and creating a cosy atmosphere. The room flows through towards the kitchen, creating a sociable and practical layout. The kitchen has been fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units, work surfaces, inset sink, electric hob and oven, together with integrated appliances and additional white goods included within the sale.
To the rear of the ground floor is a useful lobby with access to the covered courtyard, alongside a downstairs WC, adding an important degree of practicality to the accommodation.
Upstairs, the property provides two well proportioned double bedrooms, with the front bedroom enjoying views towards Bridge Street and the second bedroom overlooking the rear. Both retain the character expected of a period cottage while offering comfortable accommodation. The first floor is completed by a modern shower room with a double shower enclosure, wash hand basin and WC.
A particularly useful feature is the loft space, which is accessed via a pull down ladder and has been part boarded, insulated, powered and lit. Currently used as a craft workshop, this versatile area provides excellent additional space for hobbies, home working, storage or creative pursuits, subject to any necessary consents.
Outside, the property benefits from a covered rear courtyard, providing a private and sheltered area that could be used for seating, storage or planting. The courtyard also incorporates a built in BBQ cowl and chimney, offering further flexibility for outdoor use.
The location is a major attraction, with Hatherleigh's market square, independent shops, cafés, pubs and everyday amenities all within easy walking distance. The town also provides an excellent base for exploring the surrounding Devon countryside, with Dartmoor and a wealth of walking and cycling routes within easy reach.
Overall, 23 Bridge Street is a characterful and versatile cottage, combining period charm with useful modern accommodation and an enviable town centre position. With no onward chain, this is a property that warrants an early internal inspection.
