Charming Grade II thatched cottage with garden, parking and outbuilding, chain-free.
Grade II listed thatched cottage — thatch replaced in 2024
A quintessential Grade II listed thatched cottage on the edge of Otterton, Braydon Cottage blends period charm with practical upgrades. The thatch was replaced in 2024 and the oil boiler was renewed in 2023, reducing immediate major maintenance needs. The layout provides a cosy living room with inglenook and woodburner, an open dining area, shaker-style kitchen and three good bedrooms — a comfortable home for downsizers or a small family seeking village life.
Outside, the private garden and raised deck capture rural views and offer quiet al fresco space. Off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a converted stable with electricity and water add useful utility and storage; that outbuilding could, subject to planning and listed-building consent, be adapted to a studio or home office.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status: repairs, alterations and any extension will require listed-building consent and could limit modernisation options. The cottage uses oil heating and is EPC exempt; running costs and future servicing should be considered. There is a single family shower room and a medium flood risk in the area, relevant for insurance and flood-preparedness planning.
Sold freehold and chain-free, Braydon Cottage suits buyers seeking character, rural tranquillity and immediate occupancy without onward chain. Its location close to Otterton amenities, Budleigh seafront and the Jurassic Coast makes it attractive for countryside living with accessible transport links to Exeter.
