Summary - HIGHER COTLEY DUNSFORD EXETER EX6 7BH
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Three acres, paddock and outbuildings for family living near Dartmoor.
Grade II thatched longhouse with original beams and fireplaces
A Grade II thatched longhouse set in about 3.1 acres, Higher Cotley combines 17th‑century character with recent sympathetic refurbishment. Almost 3,000 sq ft of living space includes exposed oak beams, impressive inglenook fireplaces and a newly upgraded heating and electrical system, making the house comfortable for modern family life while retaining historic detail.
The plot includes a 1.7 acre fenced paddock, well‑kept wraparound gardens with far‑reaching valley views, and several useful outbuildings: a thatched garden office, powered double garage, large workshop, greenhouse and log store. Solar PV contributes to running costs and there are two driveways offering generous parking and privacy.
Practical considerations are important: the house is Grade II listed, so extensions or major external alterations will be restricted and subject to consent. Drainage is private and may not meet current regulations; further information is being sought. Broadband speeds are very slow despite excellent mobile signal. Heating is oil‑fired with an oil Aga, and the property sits in a rural location where some services reflect that setting.
This home will suit buyers seeking a significant historic country property with paddock and outbuildings, who value privacy and Dorset/Dartmoor fringe location. It’s been sensitively renovated for immediate occupation, but listing constraints and some rural service limitations should be factored into planning future works or lifestyle needs.
