Kings Nympton, Umberleigh, Devon, EX37

An attractive package of a four bedroom cottage and a piece of land in the heart of this desirable North Devon village.

A unique opportunity to acquire a Grade II listed, four bedroom property which was formally two 2 bedroom cottages until recent years and an adjoining plot of land, with the land having development potential, subject to attaining necessary permissions. The property is believed to date back to the 18th century and is of stone and cob construction under a thatched roof which has been repaired in 2024. The property has a wealth of character and now requires renovation.
The accommodation is entered via an entrance hall with stairs rising to the first floor. To the right is the sitting room and leading off is a utility room with an external door to the front and a store cupboard and Belfast sink. There is a ground floor, well equipped bathroom. To the left hand side of the hallway is a dairy leading through to a secondary hallway. There is a good sized dining room with an inglenook fireplace and woodburner (currently decommissioned). A lobby area then leads through to a second ground floor bathroom. Completing the ground floor is the kitchen breakfast room which overlooks the garden and patio doors leading out.
To the first floor there are four bedrooms, two double rooms and two singles (with two bed frames included in the sale).
For approximate room dimensions and layout please refer to the enclosed floorplan.
