This Grade II listed thatched cottage has been carefully refurbished to blend period character with modern living. The owners have replaced the thatch (Dec 2024), installed a sewage treatment plant, and converted an attached barn to provide independent ancillary accommodation — useful as a guest suite, multi‑generational space or holiday let.
The main house offers a generous lounge with a large inglenook and wood burner, an open-plan dining area, fitted kitchen, garden room and four bedrooms upstairs. From the rear windows there are extensive rural views and a secluded private garden with patios, pond and a timber insulated garden office with internet hardwiring.
Practical benefits include a large gravel driveway, turning circle, single garage/workshop with power, oil-fired central heating and fast broadband with excellent mobile signal. The property is chain free and within commuting distance of Honiton and the A30, while being well placed for the Jurassic Coast and the Blackdown Hills.
Important considerations: the house’s listed status restricts alterations and may complicate permissions and insurance. Council tax is above average. The property sits in a remote hamlet with higher local crime statistics recorded; prospective buyers should check local services and security needs. The site is newly renovated overall but the historic fabric means future maintenance should be expected.
