A traditional thatched cottage set in a peaceful Devon hamlet, this semi‑detached home blends period character with practical living. The cosy sitting room centers on an exposed‑beam fireplace with a wood burner, while the spacious country kitchen/diner offers room for family meals and socialising. Three good‑sized bedrooms and two bathrooms provide comfortable accommodation for a range of buyers.
Outside, well‑tended, colourful gardens and far‑reaching countryside views create a tranquil private setting. Driveway parking for two and a larger than average garage with power and lighting add useful practical space; a craft/summer room and greenhouse provide hobby and storage options. Broadband is fast and mobile signal excellent, useful for remote working or staying connected.
Practical considerations are straightforward: the home uses oil‑fired central heating (individual supply) and has UPVC double glazing of unknown install date. The cottage was constructed before 1900 with cob walls and a thatched roof — these features deliver authentic charm but also mean ongoing specialist maintenance and insurance costs should be expected. The property is freehold, has no flood risk, and sits close to Torrington and other market towns for amenities and transport links.
This property suits buyers seeking a peaceful rural lifestyle — retirees or those downsizing wanting character and gardens, or families looking for countryside schooling and outdoor pursuits. It’s presented for immediate occupation but buyers should budget for routine thatch care and consider long‑term maintenance typical of period homes.
