This Grade II listed thatched cottage combines historic character with comfortable family living in the heart of East Budleigh. Original features — exposed beams, arched recesses, slate hearths and deep window sills — are retained alongside sympathetic updates such as engineered oak flooring and modern kitchen appliances. The layout includes a spacious dining room, sitting room, ground-floor study and two bathrooms, giving flexible space for family life or home working.
A major selling point is the large, private rear garden with sunny terraces, extensive lawns and productive fruit trees (apple, pear, plum, fig, olive). The garden is well suited to children, entertaining and kitchen gardening; a timber shed with power adds practical storage. Local amenities, very low crime, good primary schools nearby and fast broadband make the village convenient for daily life while retaining a rural feel.
Important practical considerations: the property’s Grade II listed status means alterations will be restricted and require consent, and the thatched roof and older fabric will need specialist maintenance. There is a medium flood risk for the area — factor this into insurance and mitigation plans. Heating is gas central with a Worcester boiler; viewing is recommended to appreciate the character and scale of the accommodation.
