Holbeton, South Hams PL8

Nestled in the heart of the desirable South Hams village of Holbeton, this charming character cottage offers a unique living experience, blending historic charm with a thoughtful reverse-level layout that maximises light and space.

Forming part of the village's historic cider press, the property immediately impresses on the upper level with its spectacular vaulted lounge/diner and kitchen.

The well-appointed kitchen area features ample workspace and storage, complete with an integrated oven and hob. Also on this level is a separate WC.

Descending to the ground floor, you will find two well-proportioned bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a convenient storage room, also used as a utility room. The principal bedroom offers direct access to the rear terrace. Outside, the property will benefit from a lawned garden, perfect for outdoor entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying the peaceful village atmosphere. There will also be two allocated parking spaces.

The property does require updating, but the price does reflect this.

The property is offered with a Share of Freehold, providing additional ownership benefits, and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property in an unspoilt, picturesque village setting. The property will be sold on a 999-year lease. There will be no ground rent, and a proposed service charge of around £50 per month will go into a sinking fund covering communal maintenance and building insurance.
