3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached
Chain-free period home with private west garden and coastal access.
Grade II listed 16th-century thatched cottage with authentic period features
This Grade II listed 16th-century thatched cottage combines authentic period character with practical living spaces, set in a peaceful hamlet between Bishops Tawton and Chittlehampton. The house offers a cosy living room with a wood burning stove, a dual-aspect kitchen overlooking the rear garden, a separate dining room and three well-proportioned bedrooms — an appealing mix for full-time residents or holiday-let buyers. Presented chain free, it offers immediate possession and easy access to North Devon’s beaches and local amenities.
The property’s historic features — exposed beams, a period oak screen and revealed stonework — create considerable charm but bring obligations. Listed status means any alterations will require listed-building consent and specialist repairs, particularly for the thatched roof and cob walls. Heating is provided by an LPG boiler and radiators (not on a communal supply), and the cottage has double glazing of unknown installation date.
Externally, the west-facing rear garden is enclosed and private with mature hedging and a decent plot size suitable for outdoor entertaining. Driveway parking for two vehicles is a practical asset in this rural setting. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which may affect home-working or streaming — important to consider for modern lifestyles.
Overall this is a rare historic property that suits buyers who value period authenticity and rural tranquillity and are comfortable with the responsibilities of owning a listed thatched cottage. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, character and garden privacy in person.
