Summary - 1 Pennys Cottage, Pennys Hill TQ1 4HE
2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Charming two-bed thatched cottage with gardens and town access.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original period features
A rare Grade II thatched cottage offering period character in a convenient Torquay location. The cob walls, exposed beams and inglenook fireplace create an authentic, cosy feel across two double bedrooms and a compact lounge. The cottage sits on a decent plot with cottage-style front and rear gardens extending to a small wooded area—useful outdoor space for relaxation or a holiday let.
Practical notes: the property is freehold but listed status will restrict alterations and can complicate maintenance and insurance for the thatch and cob construction. The house is small (approximately 589 sq ft) with low ceilings and some irregular walls—suitable for buyers who value character over open-plan space. The EPC is E and heating is mains gas with boiler and radiators.
Location is a key strength: short journeys to Torquay town centre, bus station and several well-rated primary and secondary schools. Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are fast, supporting modern working-from-home needs. The setting and period charm make the cottage well suited as a cosy primary home, a downsized residence, or a holiday-let/investment, provided the buyer accepts the listed constraints and ongoing thatch upkeep.
Material considerations are presented openly: listed status will cause planning and repair limitations; thatched roofing and cob walls require specialist maintenance; the property’s small footprint and low ceilings may not suit everyone. Council Tax Band D and an area with higher deprivation metrics are factual context buyers should weigh alongside the character and location benefits.
