3 bedroom cottage for sale

Witheridge is a friendly, well-served Devon village with a strong community spirit, a local shop, pub, church and regular events, all wrapped in peaceful countryside.

In the heart of the village is this gorgeous Grade II listed cottage offers the perfect blend of character, comfort and style. Built of traditional cob beneath a well-maintained thatched roof (re-ridged in 2025), it has been thoughtfully and sensitively restored throughout, with a new kitchen and bathrooms, fresh lime-rendered interiors and a calm, natural finish that feels both authentic and quietly luxurious. Everything is in place for the next owner to simply move in and enjoy village life from day one. It’s not just on the surface either, new wiring and plumbing gives peace of mind for many years to come.

The bespoke fitted kitchen is full of charm and crafted quality with a matching utility area giving access to the side and adds practicality to village life. The bright living and dining space with flagstone flooring and a wood-burner brings atmosphere on cooler evenings whilst the underfloor heating, powered by an efficient air-source heat pump, keeps the cottage comfortably warm. There are three bedrooms in all, the principal with its own ensuite, and a wonderfully large loft above offering excellent storage or future potential subject to the usual consents.

While the cottage has no private parking or garden, on-street parking is readily available, and the nearby village amenity spaces offer greenery, quiet corners to sit out, and a place to enjoy the fresh air without the upkeep.

For anyone seeking a character home with all the charm preserved and none of the hard work left to do, this beautifully finished cottage is ready to welcome its next chapter.
