Summary - CROSSHILL COTTAGE WOODBURY SALTERTON EXETER EX5 1PH
Grade II listed thatched cottage — repairs and restrictions likely required
A Grade II listed thatched cottage full of rustic character, set in the peaceful village of Woodbury Salterton. The property includes four double bedrooms across multi-story accommodation, traditional exposed beams, stone floors and open fireplaces that create a warm, rural atmosphere. The farmhouse-style kitchen with Aga and separate dining room suit family life and entertaining.
The house sits on a very large plot with a lawned garden, pond, garage and off-road parking — rare outside space for village properties. Broadband is fast and the area scores well for safety; several well-rated primary schools are within easy reach, making the home attractive to families seeking countryside living.
Buyers should note the Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate repairs or thatch work. Ceilings are lower in parts and some rooms are modest in size, reflecting the cottage’s period proportions. Council tax is expensive, and thatched roofing and historic fabric will require ongoing specialist maintenance and insurance considerations.
Overall this is a characterful family home offering generous outdoor space and traditional features, best suited to buyers who value period charm and accept the upkeep and planning constraints of a listed thatched cottage.
