The property could suit a variety of buyers looking for a quaint Devon Village Cottage, being an ideal bolt hole, or to generate an income stream via Airbnb or letting investment, with scope to add their own touches. The property also has the added benefit of private parking and a good size detached garden situated a few steps away, which subject to any relevant planning permissions could make an ideal building plot!
