This 17th-century detached thatched cottage sits in the heart of Hatherleigh, offering genuine period character with exposed beams, cob walls and an impressive inglenook with a multi-fuel burner. Modern interventions — a fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, a useful utility room and photovoltaic panels — bring practical, day-to-day comfort alongside historic charm.
The cottage has two bedrooms upstairs and a surprisingly generous main room; the spacious landing already houses a macerator toilet and basin, which offers scope to create a full bathroom with some reconfiguration. Internally the footprint is compact (around 626 sq ft), making the layout efficient but limiting larger family living or big furniture.
Outside the rear garden has been landscaped for low maintenance with decking, artificial turf and a summerhouse, and there is a private gravel parking bay for one car plus a gated side access. The property benefits from excellent mobile signal and pleasant outlooks across the surrounding countryside, including Dartmoor National Park.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the thatched roof and historic fabric typically require specialist maintenance and insurance, and the plot is small. Broadband is average for the area and the wider neighbourhood is classified as an ageing rural community, which may mean fewer local services than larger towns. Council tax is described as affordable.
