Generally well-served village location with fast broadband
Set within Newton Poppleford, this Grade II listed thatched cottage combines period character with practical modern updates. The living room feels generous for its age, centred around a wood-burning stove and exposed beams, while a recently refitted kitchen provides contemporary convenience. Two well-proportioned first-floor bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the principal accommodation, making this a comfortable village home for a couple or small family.
Outside, the property benefits from substantial, mature gardens that enjoy countryside views and multiple seating areas. A large detached barn/garage/workshop is a standout asset — excellent for storage, hobbies or prospective conversion subject to planning and listed-building constraints. The plot offers scope for sensitive landscaping to increase usable outdoor space.
Important practical points are straightforward: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and add conservation obligations; the thatched roof and older fabric will need ongoing specialist maintenance. Parking appears limited to the garage or nearby on-street spaces, so consider vehicle access. Services include gas central heating and fast broadband, and local amenities and schools are within easy reach.
This cottage will suit buyers who value character, generous gardens and workshop space, and who accept the responsibilities that come with a listed thatch property. It offers a rare combination of village convenience and a countryside outlook close to Sidmouth’s coast and regional transport links.
