Cubberley House is a well-proportioned period terraced home in the heart of Thorverton, offering five bedrooms and generous reception rooms arranged over two main storeys. The house retains original features — sash windows, fireplaces and moulded details — giving a strong sense of character and village charm. A private walled garden provides a low-maintenance outdoor retreat suited to family life or entertaining.
Practical aspects include an oil-fired boiler with radiators, cavity walls likely without modern insulation, and a single family bathroom; these present clear opportunities to improve energy efficiency and modernise facilities. The attached garage and adjoining space offer scope for a workshop, studio or ancillary accommodation, subject to planning and building consents — a chance to add value but requiring careful assessment.
Set in unspoilt countryside with easy access to local amenities, good primary schools and routes into Exeter, the property is well placed for families seeking village community life and outdoor pursuits. Note there is a medium flood risk in the area and council tax is above average, which are practical considerations for running costs and insurance.
Overall this is a rare village-centre period house that suits buyers wanting character with room to personalise. It will particularly appeal to families or purchasers looking for a renovation project with potential to improve energy performance and add flexible ancillary space.
