Charming thatched cottage with stunning gardens, countryside views, and timeless character in idyllic village setting.
Nestled on the edge of a picturesque Exe Valley village, Rose Cottage is a delightful, thatched home packed with charm and character. With its new thatch roof fitted in 2020 and interiors displaying exposed beams, this cottage offers a warm and inviting retreat.
The heart of the home is the large sitting and dining room, a cosy dual-aspect space featuring an inglenook fireplace with an electric log-effect burner set on a stone hearth. The dining area is perfectly suited for family meals, with room for a table and chairs, and a staircase leading to the first floor.
The kitchen is a bright and airy space, boasting a high vaulted ceiling, three Velux windows, and a range of units complemented by wooden worktops. It includes an integrated dishwasher, an American-style fridge freezer, and a handy breakfast bar.
A tucked-away storage area houses the boiler, providing central heating and hot water. The kitchen also leads to a larder with fitted shelving and to the beautifully appointed bathroom, complete with a clawfoot bath and shower attachment.
Upstairs, the landing is full of character, with charming alcoves for storage and display. The principal bedroom is a spacious double, enjoying dual-aspect views across the countryside and a built-in wardrobe.
An en-suite shower room features a fully tiled double shower enclosure.
Outside, the property is accessed from the quiet village lane, offering on-street parking and a single garage in a block of four opposite the cottage.
The gardens are a true highlight, positioned to the side of the property and affording stunning countryside vistas. Winding paths and steps connect several landscaped areas for ease of maintenance, beautifully planted with shrubs and trees, to a timber deck perfect for al fresco dining.
At the end of the garden, there is an additional decked area with a hot tub and a summerhouse, complete with power and light—ideal for a home office or peaceful retreat.
Rose Cottage offers a unique opportunity to embrace traditional village lifestyle in an idyllic rural setting.
Services: Mains gas, electric, water, and private drainage.

Bickleigh is renowned for its stunning landscapes, with rolling hills, lush greenery, and the serene River Exe meandering through the village. The iconic Bickleigh Bridge, a historic stone structure, adds to the area’s postcard-perfect appeal. Nearby walks and nature trails, such as those along the Exe Valley Way, provide ample opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts to explore and enjoy the natural beauty.
The village is steeped in history, with landmarks such as Bickleigh Castle, one of Devon’s oldest inhabited castles, offering a glimpse into the past. This historic site often hosts weddings and events, adding a sense of vibrancy to the community. The local architecture, including charming, thatched cottages and period homes, reflects the area’s heritage and adds to its unique character.
Despite its small size, Bickleigh boasts a warm and welcoming community. The local pub, The Fisherman’s Cot, is a hub for residents and visitors alike, offering hearty meals and a convivial atmosphere by the river. Regular community events and activities help foster a strong sense of belonging, making it an ideal place for families and retirees.
While Bickleigh feels delightfully rural, it is conveniently located just a short drive from Tiverton, where residents can access supermarkets, schools, healthcare facilities, and other essential services. For those commuting, the M5 motorway and Tiverton Parkway railway station provide excellent connections to Exeter, Taunton, and beyond.
Peaceful and Picturesque Lifestyle
Living in Bickleigh means embracing a slower pace of life, surrounded by breathtaking scenery and wildlife. The village’s idyllic setting offers a perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of urban living, making it a haven for anyone seeking peace and relaxation.
In summary, Bickleigh combines the best of rural charm, community spirit, and modern convenience. With its beautiful surroundings, rich history, and friendly atmosphere, it is a truly special place to call home.
