Ditchetts House is a beautifully renovated Grade II listed village house dating from the 15th century, tastefully blending original features with contemporary comfort. The main house offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, two bath/shower rooms, and four reception rooms, while a self-contained one-bedroom Garden Cottage provides flexible guest or rental accommodation. South-facing walled gardens, specimen fruit trees and a variety of terraces create a private, sheltered outdoor oasis.
Practical outbuildings include a 22' artist’s studio with cloakroom, a large workshop/storage shed and ample driveway parking for several cars. The layout suits families who value character and independent space — study/snug rooms for home working, generous living/dining space with original inglenook fireplaces, and a bespoke kitchen with quality integrated appliances. The property sits centrally in Witheridge, within walking distance of shops, pub and primary school, yet remains a rural location close to both Dartmoor and Exmoor.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed and partly thatched, so alterations will be limited and maintenance costs can be higher than average. Heating is primarily by electric room heaters and an Everhot electric range; there is no conventional gas central heating. Broadband speeds are average for the area and the property lies in a remoter community, so some services and commute times are longer than in urban areas.
Overall, Ditchetts House will appeal to buyers seeking a distinctive period home with generous gardens and separate cottage accommodation, who are comfortable with listed‑building responsibilities and rural living.
