John Lake Estate Agents says ..

Approached over a babbling brook and nestled in the heart of the picture postcard village of Cockington, this enchanting PERIOD DETACHED PROPERTY we believe was historically a shippon, now sympathetically converted to create a unique and character home on one level.

Property Oracle says ..

Brook Cottage in Cockington, Torquay, presents a unique opportunity to acquire a character property in a highly desirable location. Nestled in the heart of the picturesque Cockington village, this single-story detached home offers a blend of charm and convenience. The property’s exterior showcases its period features, while the interior reveals a layout that retains original elements like exposed beams. The kitchen and bathrooms, however, appear dated and could benefit from modernisation. The flooring in several rooms also appears worn. The property boasts a pleasant garden, providing outdoor space, and there is also the added benefit of shared garage space. The proximity to Cockington Country Park, local schools, and Torquay’s amenities makes this an attractive proposition for those seeking a tranquil yet accessible lifestyle. However, potential buyers should factor in the cost of updating the kitchen and bathrooms to their preferred standards. The lack of precise square footage data for comparable properties makes a definitive price-per-square-foot comparison challenging, but the list price appears reasonable, given the location and overall character of the property. Further investigation into the specific condition of the property and a detailed survey are recommended before making a purchase decision.

Therefore, we give this property 7 / 10. *Disclaimer: This is our option and does constitute a recommendation or financial advice. Do your own research. *
