Poppy Cottage is a sizeable, characterful two-bedroom stone cottage set directly on a village green. The house offers generous rooms (about 1,017 sq ft), a large front garden and a sunny, south-facing rear garden that backs onto open fields — rare for a terraced property. Period features include an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, window seats and original cast-iron stove, giving immediate cottage charm.
Practical benefits include private off-street parking for one to two cars, uPVC double glazing and modern electric radiators. The cottage is not subject to Grade II listing constraints, so internal reconfiguration or modest alterations are more straightforward, subject to planning where required. Its location is convenient: a short walk to the village pub and the mainline railway station with direct trains to London Waterloo and Exeter.
Buyers should note material considerations honestly: heating is electric (storage heaters/modern electric radiators) and the stone walls are assumed uninsulated, so running costs and comfort will be affected. Double glazing appears to be installed before 2002. There is a medium flood risk for the area and the cottage has low ceilings in places and narrow circulation typical of older homes. The wider area scores as relatively deprived despite low local crime, which may affect resale or rental demand.
For a first-time buyer or couple seeking a move-in-ready period home with scope to personalise, this cottage combines immediate kerb appeal and countryside outlook with realistic running-cost and improvement considerations. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the room proportions and rear views in person.
