Summary - 54 Yettington, Budleigh Salterton, EX9 EX9 7BW
4 bed 2 bath Cottage
Restored period cottage with large gardens and countryside views, near Budleigh Salterton.
Detached Grade II listed thatched cottage with character features
Pheasant Cottage is a beautifully presented, detached Grade II listed thatched home set in the hamlet of Yettington, within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The house has been sympathetically modernised to combine character features — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and thatch — with a large refitted farmhouse-style kitchen, modern bathroom and a new en-suite to the master. The property extends to about 1,505 sq ft across multiple floors and sits on a large plot with landscaped gardens and attractive countryside outlooks.
Outside there are several practical strengths: a detached double garage, private drive parking, a summerhouse, vegetable plot and Mediterranean-style terrace areas that capture sun across the day. The eastern boundary backs onto open countryside, enhancing privacy and views. Broadband is reported fast and the immediate area is quiet with low crime, making this a comfortable village base with Budleigh Salterton and Exeter within reasonable driving distance.
Important practical considerations are set out plainly. The house is Grade II listed — repairs, alterations and insurance can be more costly and will require listed-building consents. The thatched roof and the rural location contribute to a medium flood risk rating and may affect insurance premiums and maintenance schedules. Heating is oil-fired, which can influence running costs and future replacement decisions.
This home will suit buyers seeking a restored period cottage with modern comforts, generous outside space and strong village links — families who value school choices nearby, couples planning longer-term rural living, or buyers looking for a character property with careful ongoing maintenance. The listing status brings charm and protection of character but also constraints; viewings will suit those ready to manage listed-building responsibilities.
