This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends period charm with recent sympathetic renovation. Exposed timbers, an inglenook fireplace and wooden floors retain character while the kitchen, bathroom and heating have been modernised for everyday comfort. The property is compact inside, so it suits buyers seeking a cosy, low‑maintenance home rather than large-family living.
Outside, the large private garden and substantial off‑street parking (space for several vehicles, caravan or boat) are standout assets for village life. A detached single garage adds storage or workshop potential. The location in Newton Poppleford places countryside walks, a good primary school and nearby Sidmouth within easy reach, with fast broadband and low crime reinforcing practical village living.
Important practical points: the house is small at about 614 sq ft with two bedrooms and a single bathroom, and sits in a medium flood‑risk area. As a Grade II listed building, any alterations will be restricted and could complicate extensions or modernisation beyond the recent works. Buildings insurance is confirmed by the vendor.
Overall this cottage suits buyers looking for a characterful two‑bed home in a very affluent rural village — ideal for downsizers, couples or those seeking a weekend retreat with parking and garden space. Budget and planning constraints associated with listed status and flood risk should be considered before viewing.
