The Old Gatehouse is an elegant Grade II listed period home, built c.1814 and set in elevated, mature gardens with estuary glimpses. Interiors blend historic character (high ceilings, feature fireplace, mullion detailing) with recent modernisations: a refitted bathroom and a contemporary galley kitchen with new appliances and a recently fitted Baxi boiler.
Outside offers strong day‑to‑day convenience for downsizers: two driveways, detached garage, terrace, large lawns on tiered levels, and a summerhouse with deck. The property sits a short, level walk from village amenities and a bus stop, with Teignmouth about two miles away for wider services, rail links and a beach.
Practical points are straightforward and important. Grade II listing means alterations, extensions or insulation upgrades will be subject to consent and could be costly or limited. The granite/whinstone walls are assumed to have no cavity insulation, contributing to the EPC E rating; further energy improvements may be constrained by the listed status. Council tax is moderate.
This home suits a buyer seeking charming, low‑rise living close to village life and the estuary, who values character and gardens over turnkey energy efficiency. It presents immediate comfort with scope for sympathetic, consented improvements rather than major structural work.
