This Grade II listed thatched cottage blends period character with carefully considered modern updates. Exposed beams, a stone inglenook with a multi-fuel stove and original details sit alongside a stunning shaker-style kitchen/diner with a central island, Belfast sink and pantry. The current owners have retained charm while creating a practical, comfortable home for everyday living.
Set on Fore Street in Morchard Bishop, the cottage offers two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom across a compact, well-planned footprint (circa 883 sq ft). The front garden and an ornamental rear garden with pond and patio provide attractive outdoor space, plus a large cob-and-stone outbuilding for garden storage and direct access to off-street parking via a private right of way.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and may increase maintenance complexity and costs. Heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators (oil not on a community supply), and ceiling heights are generally low consistent with the period. Double glazing was installed before 2002 and the cottage was constructed before 1900, so further upgrades may be desirable over time.
For families and buyers seeking village life, Morchard Bishop is strong on community amenities — a good primary school (Ofsted: Good), village store, doctor’s surgery, pub and numerous footpaths including the Two Moors Way. Transport links include Morchard Road station on the Tarka Line and regular buses into Crediton and Exeter, making this character cottage a comfortable rural home with realistic renovation considerations.
