Summary - 5 MOLES COTTAGES, EXETER, EXMINSTER EX6 8DB
2 bed 1 bath Terraced
Characterful two-bedroom village home with large detached garden and renovation potential.
Grade II listed thatched mid-terrace with early 17th-century origins
A rare surviving thatched cottage in the heart of Exminster, this Grade II mid-terrace dates back to the early 17th century and retains genuine period character. The living room is dominated by a large inglenook fireplace, exposed beams and timbers, and generous proportions that evoke authentic cottage charm. The detached rear garden is a notable asset — large, private and ready to be reclaimed for entertaining or family use.
The house is compact (approximately 506 sq ft) and presented in need of renovation, so it will suit buyers seeking a character project rather than a turnkey move. Listed status protects historic fabric but also restricts alterations; buyers should budget for specialist Listed-building works and seek pre-purchase advice. The property currently shows a mix of heating and energy features (electric heating/night storage noted), and there is conflicting information about mains gas supply, so confirm utilities before offer.
Practicalities are straightforward: two generous first-floor bedrooms, a ground-floor bathroom, kitchen/dining and a utility room. On-street parking only. With sympathetic restoration the cottage offers strong period appeal and good potential to increase comfort and value while preserving its historic features.
This will particularly suit a family or buyer who values historic character and is prepared to manage a renovation within the constraints of a Listed building. If you want a special, characterful home in a quiet village setting with an unusually large private garden for the row, this property merits inspection.
