Biddaden Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage combining historic charm with substantial ancillary accommodation. The house delivers three double bedrooms, two reception rooms and a vaulted kitchen/diner with exposed beams, alongside an impressive two-storey oak‑framed studio/garage with games room above. Solar panels, mains gas central heating and fast broadband make the property practical for modern living in a rural hamlet.
The site sits in a peaceful, agricultural community within easy reach of Barnstaple and North Devon’s coastline, offering countryside views and a private, south‑facing rear garden. Off‑street parking serves multiple vehicles and several stone outbuildings provide useful storage and wood stores. The studio has water and electricity connected and versatile scope for home working, hobby use or ancillary accommodation (subject to consents).
Buyers should note material constraints: the Grade II listing will restrict alterations and will likely complicate any major changes or upgrades. The property combines thatch, slate and historic stone walls that will need sympathetic, potentially costly maintenance; private drainage is installed. EPC band D and Council Tax band E (above average) reflect running costs that should be factored into ownership budgets.
This home suits purchasers seeking character and space in a rural setting — families wanting village life with good access to Barnstaple, or buyers who value an impressive studio for business or leisure. A full inspection and specialist survey are recommended to confirm condition, statutory constraints and any repair obligations associated with the listing.
