Grade II listed thatched cottage with strong historic character
A distinctive Grade II listed thatched cottage in picturesque Otterton, this four-bedroom semi-detached home blends historic character with substantial outdoor space. The large, south-facing garden is split over three levels, has mature planting and fruit trees, and receives plentiful daylight—ideal for families who value outdoor living and room for children or pets to roam. A gated driveway for 3–4 cars and a detached garage add practical parking in the village centre.
Internally the cottage retains many original features: exposed beams, a brick fireplace, a bay-windowed sitting room and a separate dining room opening to a bright conservatory. The fitted kitchen, utility room and ground-floor cloakroom provide useful day-to-day convenience. The main bedroom benefits from an en-suite; three further bedrooms and a family bathroom complete the first floor. The thatch has been recently refreshed at the ridge and services are connected (mains water, electricity and drainage).
This home requires modernisation throughout: parts of the property are dated and renovation work is necessary to update heating, finishes and some fittings. Listed status will restrict works and can complicate alterations or extensions — buyers should factor in listed-building consent and likely higher repair costs. Flooding risk for the area is medium for surface water, and council tax is in band F, which is comparatively expensive.
Offered freehold and chain free, the cottage is well placed for village amenities, local schools rated Good, the Otterton Mill attraction, and easy road access to Budleigh Salterton and Exeter. It will appeal to buyers seeking period character, a large plot in a quiet village and the opportunity to renovate into a long-term family home, but who understand the constraints and costs of a Grade II thatched property.
