We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
For all enquiries quote HP0686 Tucked away in the idyllic hamlet of Brixton Torr, Halfacre Cottage is a charming semi-detached, stone-built property that offers a rare opportunity for someone to truly make it their own.
This is a property that will need complete refurbishment, but for the right buyer, it presents a really exciting project — the chance to restore and reimagine a characterful cottage in a wonderful setting.
The front door opens into a small entrance lobby, leading through to a cosy lounge where an open fireplace provides a lovely focal point.
From here, the layout flows into a lean-to conservatory, offering a useful additional space, and through to the kitchen/diner.
The kitchen itself features a fireplace housing the Aga, giving a nod to the home’s heritage, with stairs rising to the first floor.
A door from the kitchen provides access out to the side of the property, where you’ll find the garden and driveway.
Upstairs, there are three good-sized double bedrooms along with a family bathroom — a great footprint to work with and plenty of scope to reconfigure if desired.
Outside this property continues to shine.
Sitting on a generous plot, there is a driveway running alongside the cottage, leading to a large garden and a separate outbuilding (great potential here too!).
Whether you’re thinking of landscaping, extending (subject to the necessary permissions), or simply creating a beautiful outdoor space, there is plenty of room here to bring your ideas to life.
Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is an ideal opportunity for those looking for a project in a quiet location, yet close to local amenities.
Brixton itself is a wonderful place to call home — a friendly village community with a well-regarded local pub, primary school, and easy access to the stunning South Hams countryside and coastline.
At the same time, you’re only a short drive from Plymouth, making it a great balance of rural living with city convenience.
A property with huge potential, in a setting that’s easy to fall in love with.
