Summary - Kennford, Exeter EX6 7TS
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious historic home on a large village plot, ready for renovation.
Grade II listed detached cottage with thatched roof and period features
A rare Grade II listed cottage in the heart of Kennford, 1 & 2 Rose Cottages combines genuine period character with a large village plot. Formerly two cottages, the house retains many original features — exposed beams, wooden windows, fireplaces and a thatched roof — while offering a flexible layout with two kitchens, multiple reception rooms and five bedrooms. Sold with no onward chain, it presents a clear opportunity to create a distinctive family home close to Exeter.
The property requires updating throughout and is EPC-exempt due to its listed status; heating is currently by plug-in radiators, open fire and a log burner. Listing protections will affect any structural or exterior changes and may complicate upgrades, but the existing layout also makes reinstating two independent units or adding an annexe feasible subject to consents. The generous gardens to the front, side and rear provide scope for landscaping, vegetable plots or outdoor entertaining.
Kennford offers village amenities including a primary school, pub and easy A38/M5 access for Exeter and the South Devon coast. Broadband speeds are limited in parts, though mobile signal is excellent. Council tax is split across two bands (C and E), and the house is freehold. For buyers seeking a character home with scope to renovate and adapt, this is a rare, well-located opportunity in a peaceful rural setting.
