Description
This handsome, link-detached former farmhouse exudes charm and character, featuring a wealth of period details such as exposed ceiling beams, an impressive inglenook fireplace with a moulded lintel, a traditional bread oven, and a distinctive winder staircase with elm treads. The well-designed accommodation includes a welcoming sitting room, a separate dining room, and a fitted kitchen. Additional ground-floor rooms comprise a cloakroom and a versatile space currently used as a study or fourth bedroom.
Upstairs, the property offers three spacious double bedrooms, each with exposed beams, built-in wardrobes, and wooden floors, along with a family bathroom featuring a white suite and a shower over the bath.
The Cob Barn is a notable feature and is attached to the main house. This versatile space offers exciting potential for development, subject to planning consent. It could be integrated into the main residence to provide additional living space, or a guest suite.
The separate annex, which was converted in 2018, Barn Owls is a stylish, single-storey annexe created from the existing garage. It offers bright, open-plan living with a kitchen and sitting area, a double bedroom, and a modern shower room—ideal for guests or family members.
Outside, the property is accessed via a private, gated driveway that provides ample parking for multiple vehicles. The enclosed gardens are predominantly bordered by attractive brick and stone walls, with fencing along the western boundary ensuring privacy. The grounds include a spacious level lawn and a south-facing terrace accessible from the kitchen—perfect for outdoor dining and entertaining.
Situation
Daveys Cottage is nestled in the highly desirable East Budleigh, a picturesque village set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). This historic village, the birthplace of Sir Walter Raleigh (b. 1552), offers a warm community atmosphere with local amenities including a pub, a historic church, a primary school rated 'Good' by Ofsted, and an active community shop. The property is less than two miles from the coastal town of Budleigh Salterton, renowned for its unspoilt pebble beach and diverse facilities. Exmouth’s sandy beaches are approximately six miles away. The vibrant city of Exeter, with its cathedral, university, and excellent transport links—including mainline railway stations on the Waterloo and Paddington lines and an international airport—lies about 10 miles to the west.
Surrounded by stunning countryside, East Budleigh is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts. The village is situated in the scenic Otter Valley, renowned for lovely walks, while nearby Bicton Common, Woodbury Common, and East Budleigh Common offer exceptional opportunities for birdwatching, riding, and enjoying nature.

From Junction 30 of the M5, take the A376 towards Exmouth and Sidmouth, then join the A3052 towards Sidmouth. After approximately 7 miles, at the roundabout above Budleigh Salterton, take the B3178 towards Exmouth and East Budleigh. Continue for about 3.5 miles, passing Bicton College. Upon entering East Budleigh, proceed down Oak Hill; the gated driveway to Daveys Cottage is on the right.
