A Grade II listed thatched cottage set on Fore Street in Silverton, offering generous, characterful accommodation across multiple reception rooms and three bedrooms. The house benefits from a large west-facing rear garden, outbuilding/store, and off-road parking for two vehicles — rare for a village setting. The layout includes a substantial kitchen/dining room, sitting room with French windows to the garden, and a master bedroom with en suite. EPC Band C and mains gas central heating provide reasonable running efficiency for a period home.
This property will suit a family or buyer seeking village life with convenient amenities close by — shop, pub, surgery, primary school and good transport links. The deceptively spacious interior and multiple reception rooms give flexibility for home working, children’s space or interconnecting living areas. The generous plot and outbuilding present clear potential for landscaping, gardening or ancillary uses (subject to listed building and conservation rules).
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed building within Silverton Conservation Area. Thatched roof and cob construction bring authentic charm but also specialist maintenance, higher insurance and repair constraints. Any alterations or extensions will require listed-building consent and may limit scope for modernisation. Low ceilings in some rooms and traditional room proportions are part of the property’s character but may not suit everyone.
Sold freehold and with no onward chain, the cottage is ready for occupation or careful upgrading. The combination of period features, large garden and village convenience offers strong appeal — but purchasers must factor in listed-status costs and planning limits when considering investment or refurbishment.
