Description
This impressive detached, family-sized home seamlessly fuses 15th-century character with the comfort and practicality of modern living. Set within an enchanting village setting and bordering open countryside, the property enjoys far-reaching rural views and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere.
Accommodation and Lifestyle
Frogpool unfolds beautifully, beginning with the historic cross passage that immediately sets the tone for the home. Beyond, the interiors are light, spacious and thoughtfully arranged to suit contemporary lifestyles, with generous proportions and striking vaulted ceilings creating a calm and uplifting sense of space throughout.
The main living room radiates warmth and character, enhanced by period features and a welcoming ambience. A charming window seat provides the perfect spot to enjoy views over the cottage-style front garden. A cleverly designed built-in storage unit discreetly encloses a staircase and acts as an elegant room divider, creating a cosy secondary seating area known as The Snug. A conveniently positioned downstairs shower room and WC further enhance everyday practicality.
Two separate staircases lead to the first floor, where four generously proportioned double bedrooms await, each rich in individuality and period charm. The stylish family bathroom features a freestanding slipper bath and enjoys delightful views over the garden.
The dining room offers an inviting yet spacious environment, comfortably accommodating a large table for family gatherings and entertaining, with a further window seat overlooking the rear patio. Adjoining this, the kitchen truly forms the heart of the home, blending traditional character with modern refinement. A classic Rayburn sits alongside a newly installed Ashgrove kitchen, complete with luxurious granite worktops and a full range of integrated appliances including a Neff fridge, freezer, dishwasher and washing machine.
With four well-proportioned double bedrooms, a large living room, snug, dining room, country kitchen, family bathroom and separate shower room/WC, Frogpool offers exceptionally flexible and spacious accommodation well suited to multi-generational living. Many rooms lend themselves naturally to home working or office use.
The historic cross passage and dual staircases allow the house to flow effortlessly while also offering opportunities for privacy between different areas — a layout that once accommodated two separate families during much of the 20th century.
Set within a delightful 0.25-acre south-facing plot, the gardens have been carefully landscaped to create a charming yet low-maintenance outdoor retreat. Mature hedgerows provide privacy and seclusion, while two well-positioned sunny patios offer ideal spaces for al fresco dining and relaxation.
A substantial driveway provides ample parking for multiple vehicles and is complemented by a large, detached garage/workshop, shed and wood store. To the front, a walled garden with established planting creates a private, sun-filled seating area.
In summary, Frogpool could suit all manner of new owners at different stages of their life from young couples and families through to retirees or those seeking an income from their investment via the Victorian School Room. Further details can be found detailed separately within the online listing: “Doc 1: Living at Frogpool – A Sellers Perspective”.
Heritage
A rare home of significant architectural and historical importance, Frogpool retains an exceptional wealth of period detail. Its medieval roof has been described as “remarkable on a national, even European level” (Keystone Historic Report, March 2020).
The story begins along an 18th-century cobbled path leading to the original wooden ledged front door, which opens into a striking cross passage framed by historic oak and elm plank-and-muntin screens.
The principal living room, once the heart of the original Open Hall, features exposed beams, a Tudor arch and an impressive fireplace with wood-burning stove. In the dining room, a charming inglenook fireplace with bread oven and rare salt cupboard further reflects the home’s rich past. Throughout the house, high vaulted ceilings and exquisite original joinery provide a tangible connection to its medieval origins.
Renovation
Working closely with Conservation Officers and specialist professionals, this exquisite Grade II* listed property was lovingly, tastefully and exhaustively restored during 2020/21, with in excess of £150,000 invested.
Every effort has been made to conserve Frogpool’s unique heritage while sensitively incorporating modern 21st-century conveniences. Key services including plumbing, electrics and heating were upgraded or replaced, ensuring the home meets modern expectations while respecting its historic fabric. Further details can be found within the online listing:
“Doc 2: Restoration Process & Costs / Maintenance Associated with a Thatched Grade II Listed Cottage”.
Further Development and Income Potential
The property also includes a spectacular Victorian School Room, a substantial detached outbuilding dating from the 1880s and brimming with character and potential.
Planning Permission and Listed Building Consent have previously been granted for conversion, including the addition of a shower room, WC and wood-burning stove. Subject to a "Change of Use" application, it could generate multiple possible income streams via a holiday let, conference venue, gym, studio, café, or Airbnb rental.
The opportunities presented by the Victorian School Room represent an exciting next chapter in its long history.
Within the rear garden, there is also an area (6 x 2m approx.) of vacant hard standing (with electrical supply) which could be developed for a Garden Room or Greenhouse (STC). Further details are provided in “Doc 3: The Victorian School Room – An Ancillary Asset & Its Latent Potential”
Situation
Nestled on the edge of the sought-after village of Stockleigh Pomeroy, Frogpool enjoys a tranquil rural setting while remaining exceptionally well connected.
Nearby Cheriton Fitzpaine (approximately 3 miles) offers a thriving village community with a popular primary school, two pubs, post office shop, village hall, historic church and excellent farm shop. Crediton (3.3 miles) provides a wider range of amenities, including supermarkets, independent shops, sports facilities, healthcare and mainline rail services to Exeter and beyond.
Education in the area is particularly strong, with Queen Elizabeth’s School in Crediton highly regarded. Leading independent schools including Blundell’s (Tiverton), The Maynard and Exeter School are all within easy reach.
The cathedral city of Exeter (8.6 miles) offers extensive cultural, shopping and dining facilities, alongside excellent transport connections. Exeter St Davids provides direct rail services to London Paddington (from just over two hours), while the M5 motorway and Exeter International Airport offer fast national and international access.
