Lavinia Cottage is a Grade II listed thatched cottage set on a large plot on the edge of Sidbury, offering genuine period charm and long views across open Devon countryside. The house’s character features exposed beams, a wood-burning stove and a manicured traditional garden — ideal for buyers seeking a tranquil village retreat within reach of Sidmouth.
Internally the layout is compact but well-proportioned across multiple storeys. The living room feels cosy and warm, while the kitchen and dining area benefit from good natural light and a sense of space. Three bedrooms are arranged partly within the attic space, with sloped ceilings and skylights that create intimate, characterful sleeping rooms.
Buyers should be aware this is a Grade II listed thatched property: maintenance is specialist and alterations will be restricted and require listed-building consent. Thatched roofing and period features mean ongoing upkeep and insurance costs are likely above average. Council tax is above average for the area and broadband and mobile signals are typical for a rural village (average).
Overall this freehold cottage will suit families or buyers seeking a character home and countryside lifestyle rather than those wanting a low-maintenance, modern new-build. The property’s historic charm, large garden and peaceful village setting are strong draws, provided purchasers are comfortable with listed-building responsibilities and periodic thatch maintenance.
