2 bed 1 bath Cottage
Character-filled two-bedroom home beside Talaton green, perfect for downsizers.
Grade II listed thatched cottage with original timbers and inglenook fireplace
This Grade II listed thatched cottage offers classic English character in the popular Talaton village, ideal for someone looking to downsize into a charming countryside home. The cottage retains original features — exposed timbers, leaded-light window seat and a stone inglenook with wood burner — that create a cosy, historic atmosphere. The property is modest in scale (about 507 sq ft) and is best suited to buyers who value character over open-plan space.
Practicalities are straightforward: the house is chain free, freehold, not in a flood risk area, and sits on a large plot with a small fenced lawn, flowerbed and summerhouse. The owner and neighbours currently rent additional adjoining land from a third party on an annual basis; that landowner has indicated a willingness to continue the arrangement. The vendor confirms current buildings insurance is in place.
Buyers should note material considerations: the cottage has low ceilings and small rooms, electric storage heaters, and the thatched roof and Grade II listing will restrict alterations and require specialist maintenance. These constraints increase conservation responsibilities and may limit refurbishment plans. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the proportions and historic detail in person.
Set just off the village green, the location benefits from a thriving rural community with a pub, shop, village hall and good road and rail links to Exeter. Broadband and mobile signals are excellent, and local primary schools are rated Good, making the cottage a practical rural base for people seeking an established countryside lifestyle.
