Littleford Cottage is a beautifully presented thatched cottage set in a highly private rural position on the outskirts of Bradworthy. The house blends original character—cob walls, exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces—with a 2015 extension that created a bright open-plan kitchen/diner and extra living space. South-west facing rear gardens are larger than average and offer plenty of private outdoor space, a garden store and a workshop.
The accommodation includes three double bedrooms (one on the ground floor with ensuite), two bathrooms with electric underfloor heating, a Rayburn in the kitchen providing heat and hot water, and an oil-fired stove in the sitting room. Recent maintenance includes re-thatching works to the rear ridge in 2017 and thatch patching/cleaning to the front in 2024. The property sits on very large fenced grounds not suitable for development but ideal for a kitchen garden, small livestock or leisure use.
Practical points to note: the cottage is constructed of cob and stone and predates 1900 which gives character but may need specialist upkeep. Drainage is private via a sewage treatment plant (installed 2016, serviced 2023). Broadband speeds are slow despite excellent mobile signal. The site is in a rural, remoter community with low local crime and limited nearby facilities—Holsworthy is around eight miles away and the North Devon coast within nine miles.
This home will suit buyers looking for a peaceful country retreat with strong period character and generous gardens. It is presented in excellent decorative order but buyers should be prepared for ongoing thatch and cob-related maintenance, private drainage responsibility and the limitations of rural connectivity.
