Tucked well off a quiet lane yet within easy walking distance of Braunton village, this Grade II listed thatched cottage offers a rare mix of period character and family-friendly space. The house has flexible 4–5 bedroom accommodation across two floors, with a welcoming sitting room, a separate lounge that opens onto a covered rear deck, and a generous kitchen/breakfast room with slate floor and exposed beams. Solar panels and gas central heating (with underfloor heating to kitchen and bathroom) help keep running costs down.
Outside, the large south-facing garden is mainly lawn with mature shrubs and trees, offering many sunny spots for children to play and areas for dining or relaxation. Off-street parking is available for at least two cars and could be increased by removing existing sheds. The cottage was re-thatched around ten years ago and retains many original features such as latched doors, beams and a wood burner recess.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate some maintenance; the granite walls appear uninsulated; some sealed-unit double glazing was installed before 2002; and there is a single family bathroom upstairs. The property sits in a medium flood-risk zone — this should be considered by buyers and insurers.
This is a property for buyers who value authenticity, privacy and a generous garden rather than a fully modern, low-maintenance home. A full viewing is recommended to appreciate the tucked-away position, flexible layout and period character this cottage provides.
