About
A Grade II listed thatched cottage in the heart of Lapford, offering the character of a traditional Mid Devon home with gardens, village amenities and transport links all within easy reach.
Set within one of the larger villages in Mid Devon, the property enjoys a convenient position close to the village centre.
The local pub, shop facilities and train station are all within walking distance, providing a balance of countryside living with practical everyday connections.
The cottage is built of cob with a traditional thatched roof and retains many of the features expected from a home of this period.
Inside, the ground floor includes a welcoming living room, kitchen, rear hall and shower room.
Upstairs are two bedrooms, offering a straightforward layout suited to a variety of buyers looking for a smaller period home.
A bespoke kitchen has been sympathetically added to create a lovely space to cook and enjoy.
Outside, a cobbled pathway leads to the front door, passing through a well-established front garden with a variety of planting that creates privacy from the village road.
The rear garden continues the cottage feel, with a lawned area, mature planting and a paved pathway.
A right of way runs across the end of the garden, although this also provides the useful benefit of rear access without needing to pass through the house.
The property is being sold with no onward chain. Overall, this is an opportunity to acquire a traditional Devon cottage in a well-connected village setting.
With its thatched roof, cob construction and established garden, it offers the chance to create a home with plenty of character in a thriving community. Please see the floorplan for room sizes.

Lapford is a hillside village overlooking the river Yeo.
It has a past reaching back to the Iron Age and a grade I listed church that was rebuilt and extended in the 12 century by Sir William De Tracey as penance for his part in the murder of Thomas Becket.
Several options are available for socialising including the Malt Scoop pub, Lapford Mill café, and several outside spaces for children to play and where events are held.
Further out of the village on the A377 is the petrol station with convenience store. For a larger selection of independent shops, bigger supermarkets Crediton is 9 miles away.
Nearby is Lapford station, a request stop on the scenic Tarka Line running between Barnstaple and Exeter.
And for those seeking the fresh air, about a mile away is Eggesford Forest, home to the very first trees planted by the Forestry Commission which offers numerous plantations for walkers, riders, and cyclists.
Directions : From Crediton take the A377 in a Westerly direction, go through Copplestone and Morchard Road.
Upon reaching Lapford, take a right turn before the garage and continue up the hill, take a sharp right bend and then the cottage can be found along to the left.
