Summary - 2 CHURCH COTTAGES EAST BUCKLAND BARNSTAPLE EX32 0TD
2 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Charming Grade II listed thatched cottage in quiet hamlet — no onward chain, gardens included.
Grade II listed thatched stone cottage with strong period character
Set in an idyllic hamlet just south-west of Exmoor, this Grade II listed two-bedroom cottage offers immediate possession with no onward chain. The stone-built, thatched exterior and inglenook fireplace give the house authentic period charm and a strong sense of place for buyers seeking a character home in a peaceful rural setting. Enclosed front and larger side gardens provide private outdoor space and scope for informal landscaping or vegetable beds.
Practical considerations are clear: the property is listed, which restricts alterations and can complicate repairs and upgrades. Heating is by electric storage heaters and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so energy efficiency is limited. Broadband speeds are very slow (copper only) and drainage is to a shared septic tank, which may affect running costs and connectivity for home-working.
The interior is traditionally laid out with a compact cottage kitchen, sitting room with feature fireplace, shower room and two first-floor bedrooms. Room sizes and low ceilings suit buyers who value character over open-plan space. A neighbour’s right of access across part of the garden is noted; the garden is otherwise enclosed and low maintenance.
This property will suit a buyer who prioritises charm, location and a manageable outdoor space over modern efficiency—ideal for downsizers, those seeking a rural retreat, or buyers prepared to accept listed-status constraints and modest modernisation. Immediate vacant possession simplifies moving and viewing arrangements.
