This Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Silverton blends centuries of character with modern comforts. The dual-aspect living room features an impressive exposed-stone inglenook and wood burner, while exposed beams and solid wood floors add authentic charm throughout. The contemporary kitchen (fitted 2020) and modern bathroom provide move-in-ready convenience alongside period features.
Outside, a long, landscaped cottage garden (c.18m) offers private outdoor space with a summer house/studio (light and power) and scope to create off-street parking for two cars at the rear, subject to permissions. The principal bedroom benefits from a walk-in wardrobe; both bedrooms are good doubles with character beams.
Important considerations: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate changes such as installing insulation or creating new openings. The stone walls are likely uninsulated and glazing is secondary, so further improvements for thermal efficiency may be limited and require listed-building consent. Parking is currently on-street; converting the garden to parking would need approval.
Positioned centrally in a sought-after Exe Valley village, the house is within easy walking distance of local amenities, a good primary school and bus links to Exeter. For buyers seeking a character-rich, recently renovated cottage with sizable gardens and village convenience, this offers a rare combination — provided you’re comfortable with listed-building constraints.
