Bramble Cottage is a Grade II listed cob-and-thatch home dating from the 1600s, set in the heart of Chulmleigh village. Interiors combine original features—exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and slate floors—with sympathetic fittings, creating a comfortable three-bedroom home or a desirable holiday retreat. The sitting/dining room and kitchen/breakfast room provide flexible family living and direct access to a sheltered, part-walled garden.
Practicalities are straightforward: the house is offered freehold and chain free, with mains services and an oil-fired Rayburn supplying heating and hot water. The garden is private and modest in size with established borders and a timber shed; on-street parking is available directly outside. Broadband and mobile signals are good and local amenities, school and transport links are all within easy reach.
Buyers should note this property’s listed status and its conservation area location — repairs, alterations and any extension will be subject to consent and may add cost and complexity. The cottage’s low ceilings and compact room sizes reflect its age and traditional construction, and the thatch roof and period fabric will require specialist maintenance over time. EPC: Exempt. Council Tax: Band C.
This is best suited to those seeking character, village living and a relatively modest footprint rather than someone needing large contemporary spaces. It will particularly appeal to downsizers, part-time residents, or buyers wanting a charming holiday base close to North Devon’s coast and countryside.
