Tozer’s Cottage is a rare Grade II listed thatched home in Alphington, marrying 17th-century character with substantial living space. The property offers four bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and a generous private garden, all within easy reach of Exeter city centre and local schools. Original features such as exposed beams, sash windows and stone fireplaces give the house strong period appeal for buyers who value historic detail.
The layout suits a family seeking character: a 23ft drawing room with open fireplace, a large sitting room, formal dining room and a sunroom with vaulted wood-panelled ceiling and French doors onto the garden. The kitchen is functional with wooden units and a range cooker; there is also a ground-floor bedroom and shower room plus three first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom. Parking is provided via side access to a garage.
Notable positives include a very large plot with well-maintained lawns, mature planting and patio entertaining space, excellent local transport links and proximity to good primary and secondary schools. Broadband and mobile signal are strong and the area is very affluent with low crime levels, making this an attractive suburban family location.
Buyers should be clear about practical constraints. Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and likely increase maintenance costs, particularly for the thatched roof and other historic fabric. Internal rooms are described as small to medium with generally low to average ceiling heights, so purchasers wanting large, open-plan living will face limitations. While the house offers significant charm and scope to personalise, conservation obligations and ongoing upkeep are material considerations.
