Gardeners Cottage is a beautifully restored Grade II listed thatched cottage tucked in Drewsteignton, within Dartmoor National Park. Finished to a high standard and currently run as a successful luxury holiday let, the house blends period character — exposed stone, inglenook fireplace and a copper bath — with modern comforts including a bespoke kitchen and underfloor heating.
The layout suits several buyers: a couple or small family seeking a peaceful permanent home, or an investor wanting an established holiday property with strong local appeal. The main bedroom is bright and dual-aspect; there are two bathrooms upstairs, one of which easily converts back to a second bedroom if required.
Outside, the walled garden and extensive mature planting create private outdoor rooms, plus a covered oak gazebo ideal for alfresco dining. Practical additions include a boot room with laundry and a private oil tank; off-street parking is included. Superfast broadband and excellent mobile signal make remote working feasible.
Important drawbacks are factual and should influence purchase decisions: the property is Grade II listed — works require consent and may complicate changes. The building is very old (pre-1900) with traditional granite/cob/thatch construction and assumed lack of wall insulation, so running costs and maintenance (thatched roof, oil/LPG heating) can be higher. EPC rating is E. These items are manageable but material to long-term ownership and running costs.
