An exceptional opportunity in the heart of West Buckland, just minutes from the renowned Bantham Beach. This versatile property comprises a three-bedroom semi-detached cottage, two outbuildings, a double garage, and a generous plot with planning in principle (Ref: 2761/24/PIP) for two additional three-bedroom semi-detached homes—each with dedicated parking and a garage. This presents significant potential for development, investment, or multi-generational living.
The existing cottage offers three bedrooms and retains character, though it would benefit from modernisation. It could serve as a permanent residence, holiday let, or lock-up-and-leave coastal retreat. A private courtyard terrace to the side offers open countryside views. Across from the main house sits a two-storey outbuilding currently used as a utility and multi-purpose space. Subject to planning, it offers scope for conversion into a studio, guest annex, or workshop. The property also includes a private lawned garden and a double garage with ample parking, adding to its flexibility and future potential.
This is a rare opportunity with broad appeal—ideal for self-builders looking to create a dream home, investors seeking their next project, or buyers wanting a generous plot with a character cottage in a prime coastal setting. With its combination of existing accommodation, development potential, and location, this is a property that must be viewed to fully appreciate its scope and possibilities
