A rare Grade II listed 16th-century thatched cottage set in a peaceful hamlet between Bishops Tawton and Chittlehampton. The house combines authentic period features — exposed beams, oak screen and revealed stonework — with practical living spaces including a cosy living room with wood-burning stove, a dual-aspect kitchen overlooking the rear garden and a separate dining room. The property is offered chain free and has a proven track record as a holiday let, making it adaptable for full-time family life or part-time rental income.
Externally the plot is generous for the area, with front and west-facing rear lawns enclosed by mature hedging, plus driveway parking for two vehicles. The ground floor shower room is modern and the three first-floor bedrooms are well-proportioned, each enjoying countryside glimpses. The location provides convenient access to local amenities and the North Devon coastline, while remaining tucked away in a tranquil rural setting.
Buyers should note this is a Grade II listed building: repairs, alterations and maintenance (including the thatched roof) will be subject to listed-building consents and specialist costs. Heating is LPG-fired via a boiler and radiators rather than mains gas, and broadband speeds are very slow — important for those who work from home. Overall this cottage will suit buyers seeking character, rural privacy and potential for holiday income, but who are comfortable with listed-building ownership responsibilities.
