Coombe Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage in a peaceful hamlet near Iddesleigh, set in approximately 0.66 acre of mature, private gardens. The house combines traditional features — exposed beams, a working AGA, clome oven and woodburner — with flexible living: study, snug, large sitting room and a kitchen/breakfast room. The plot, double garage and generous driveway make this a rare village family home with excellent outdoor space.
The cottage is presented in traditional style but requires sympathetic updating in places: the rustic kitchen needs modernisation, the thatch and external cob/render will need ongoing maintenance, and the EPC rating is E. As a listed building any changes will be subject to consent, which restricts alterations but also preserves character. Heating is oil-fired with boiler and radiators; water is supplied from a bore hole with filtration system.
Practical advantages include no onward chain, private parking for several vehicles and a timber double garage. Broadband in the area is very slow, and mobile signal is average; the location suits buyers who value rural seclusion over high-speed connectivity. This property will suit a family or buyer seeking a character cottage with sizeable gardens who is prepared for listed‑building care and selective modernisation.
