Summary - FROGPOOL STOCKLEIGH POMEROY CREDITON EX17 4AX
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious character home with annexe potential and sunny south garden.
Grade II* listed detached thatched cottage, extensively restored 2020–21
Frogpool is a rare Grade II* thatched cottage marrying 15th‑century character with comprehensive recent renovation. The main house offers four double bedrooms, three reception rooms and a light, vaulted interior that suits family life and entertaining. High ceilings, exposed timbers, original joinery and a farmhouse kitchen with Rayburn create a warm, timeless living environment.
Outside, the quarter‑acre south‑facing garden, two sunny patios and a shepherd’s hut create private outdoor space for children and alfresco dining. Practical ancillaries include a large detached garage, workshop and generous driveway parking. The detached Victorian School Room is a standout asset: planning and listed‑building consent have been granted to add a shower, WC and wood‑burner, opening clear scope for an annexe, studio or holiday let income (subject to change‑of‑use approvals).
Important practical points are stated plainly. The property is Grade II* listed, which protects historic fabric but will complicate future alterations and maintenance. The thatch and stone walls require specialist upkeep; heating is oil‑fired with accompanying fuel costs and annual servicing. Council tax is high. The house was extensively renovated in 2020–21, but ongoing listed‑building responsibilities and thatch insurance should be budgeted for.
For families seeking a distinctive rural home with adaptable outbuildings and generous outdoor space, Frogpool offers character, light and scope for value‑adding use. Its village setting provides quiet country living with accessible schools, Crediton amenities and links into Exeter, while the Victorian School Room delivers tangible potential for extra accommodation or income.
