Character-filled two-bedroom home with garden and countryside outlook.
Grade II listed thatched cottage circa 1525 with strong period character
This Grade II listed thatched cottage dates to circa 1525 and blends historic character with recent sympathetic updating. Exposed beams, original fireplaces and multi‑pane windows give plentiful period charm, while the kitchen and bathroom have been stylishly renewed for modern living. The property sits on the edge of Bovey Tracey with countryside views across a wooded valley and easy access to Dartmoor — ideal for quieter, rural-focused lifestyles.
Buyers should note this is a listed building: repairs, alterations and insurance will be subject to listing constraints and specialist costs. The thatched roof and traditional stone walls require ongoing maintenance and the fabric appears to have little insulation. Heating is mainly by wood burner and portable electric units are assumed for most rooms, which may not suit all buyers without further investment.
The cottage is compact but well arranged across two storeys with two double bedrooms and a family bathroom that includes a claw‑foot bath and walk‑in shower. A small, pretty garden with lawn, shrubs and two sheds (one with power) offers low‑maintenance outdoor space and pleasant seating areas. A garage provides parking — a useful asset in this edge‑of‑town setting.
Overall this home will suit buyers prioritising character, views and proximity to countryside over extensive internal space. It’s particularly appealing for those downsizing or seeking a second home in a desirable Devon location who are comfortable with listed‑building ownership responsibilities.
