A handsome Grade II listed thatched cottage set in the heart of Morchard Bishop, recently and sympathetically renovated to retain original charm. The well-planned kitchen/diner with central island and solid wood worktops is the social hub, while a cosy lounge with stone inglenook and woodburning stove delivers authentic cottage comfort. Two double bedrooms and a first-floor bathroom suit downsizers or those seeking a manageable rural home.
Outside, formal front planting and a thoughtfully arranged rear garden with pond, patio and large cob-and-stone outbuilding provide private outdoor space and generous storage. Off-street parking is available via a private right of way to the rear — a valuable village convenience. The porch was rethatched in 2024 and much of the cottage has been upgraded, including double glazing and modernised fittings.
Buyers should note the property’s listed status and cob construction: essential maintenance and any alterations will be subject to listing and conservation-area constraints. Heating is oil-fired (boiler and radiators), which can mean higher running costs than mains gas. The cottage’s low ceilings and smaller traditional room proportions reflect its age and character, and the compliance check fee is payable on offer acceptance.
Set in a friendly village with a good primary school, local shop, pub and direct access to country footpaths and the Tarka Line at Morchard Road, this cottage offers a rare mix of period character, recent renovation and practical outdoor space for village living.
