Frogpool is a character-rich, newly renovated Grade II* thatched cottage set in Stockleigh Pomeroy, offering historic charm with contemporary comfort. The house provides four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a generous kitchen/breakfast room, arranged over a deceptively spacious 2,231 sq ft. Natural light, high ceilings and original joinery are strong appeal factors for buyers seeking period character with modern conveniences.
A rare ancillary asset is the detached Victorian School Room, with planning permission and listed building consent already granted for internal improvements (shower room, WC and wood-burning stove). That building — alongside a large garage/workshop, substantial driveway and a sheltered south-facing 0.25-acre garden with patios — creates clear scope for ancillary accommodation, home-working, a studio or a potential holiday-let (subject to change-of-use consents).
Buyers should note material practicalities: the cottage has listed status which will restrict changes and may complicate maintenance; thatch and historic walls can demand specialist upkeep; heating is oil-fired (boiler and radiators) and council tax is described as expensive. The shepherd’s hut is available separately and the property benefits from excellent mobile and fast broadband, very low crime, and convenient access to Crediton and Exeter for schools and transport links.
This home will suit purchasers who value authentic period fabric and adaptable outbuildings — families wanting a distinctive primary home, buyers seeking income potential from ancillary buildings, or downsizers seeking single-level reception space with four bedrooms upstairs. Expect ongoing maintenance responsibilities typical of listed thatch cottages, but also a unique, character-filled rural lifestyle.
