Wayside is a late Elizabethan Tudor, three-bedroom thatched cottage in the village of Throwleigh, with easy access to Dartmoor National Park.

Wayside is a charming, thatched cottage with a long history. At one stage, Wayside was the village Ale House complete with a clog dancing in what is now the main sitting room and wrestling in the garden. However, the cottage has been renovated and extended in recent years to create a very well presented and welcoming home full of traditional character. This includes business ready fast Wi-fi, newly refurbished kitchen and heating system.

The house has a pretty South facing front garden, and is at the centre of the village, opposite St Marys Church. Downstairs has a mix of historical features in the sitting room, dining room and kitchen, juxtaposed with the modern oak and lead roofed garden room extension to the rear of the house. There is also an attractive utility room and log store at the eastern end of the house, hidden behind the traditional cart doors accessed off the road.

Upstairs, Wayside has a principal bedroom with en suite bathroom and two further bedrooms with a family bathroom.

Throughout the property there are a wealth of modern and character features that ensure that Wayside is a very engaging and welcoming home.

To the rear of the house is a very pretty, well maintained, and private cottage garden, planned to give interest all year round. There is also a garden shed, cold frame and outside WC.


Wayside is situated in the village of Throwleigh on the northeastern edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The village has been inhabited since the Bronze Age and is now a thriving agricultural community with an outreach post office in the Church and a pub, The Northmore Arms, in the neighbouring hamlet of Wonson. Nearby, South Zeal has a post office and general store, a tearoom and two pubs, The Oxenham Arms, and the Kings Arms, whilst other everyday shopping and recreational facilities can be found in Chagford or Okehampton, where there is a Waitrose supermarket.

There are many excellent primary and secondary schools in the area, and first-class private schools can be found at Exeter, Tavistock, and Tiverton.

The A30 dual carriageway is within easy reach, providing easy access to the M5 Motorway, and a mainline train station at Exeter, with regular services to London Paddington in just over 2 hours.

The property has direct access to Dartmoor, which covers approximately 365 square miles of beautiful and unspoilt moorland scenery, providing endless opportunities for walking, cycling, and riding in the area. There are plenty of rivers for fishing nearby, and the North Devon and Cornish coastline are within easy reach.

A30 3 miles, Chagford 4 miles, Okehampton 7 miles, Exeter 19 miles (All distances and times are approximate)
