Freehold
Description
A rare opportunity to acquire a truly distinguished thatched cottage, beautifully set within the peaceful and picturesque hamlet of Westwood, near the estuary village of Cockwood. This elegant and characterful home combines classic charm with modern enhancements, offering approximately one acre of established gardens, flexible living space, and approved planning for further extension.
Thoughtfully extended and beautifully presented, the property offers three bedrooms across its current layout. The original thatched portion features two delightful bedrooms full of period character, while the spacious ground-floor extension includes a generous additional room — ideal as a third bedroom, guest space, or home office. Planning permission has been granted to further extend the first-floor sunroom, adding a potential fourth en-suite guest room and increasing the home's versatility and appeal.
The generous kitchen/dining room forms the heart of the home — a welcoming and practical space for daily life and entertaining. The adjoining sitting room enjoys charming traditional details including a stone fireplace with a wooden lintel and upright posts, now fitted with a log burner, creating a cosy and inviting atmosphere.
To the rear, the bright and airy sun room is designed to capture sunlight throughout the day with its glass windows and ceiling, offering a peaceful retreat whatever the weather. Bi-fold doors from the sun room open out onto the decking, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Similarly, the kitchen features bi-folding doors leading into the charming courtyard garden, perfect for entertaining and enjoying the outdoor space.
Heating is a combination of traditional central heating and underfloor heating in the extended areas, offering comfort throughout the seasons.
Externally, the grounds are a true highlight. Extending to just under one acre, they include formal lawns, terraced seating areas, a productive wildflower meadow, and a variety of established fruit trees — including apple, plum, pear, cherry, and mulberry. A summer house is positioned at the top of the garden, where the current owners have begun running power and water. This peaceful elevated position offers a superb vantage point to enjoy panoramic views of the Exe Estuary, Mamhead Woods, and the surrounding countryside — making it the perfect setting for entertaining or quiet reflection.
Additional features include a well-appointed main bathroom, two separate W/Cs, and private driveway parking.
The nearby village of Cockwood offers a vibrant local community, renowned pubs, estuary walks, and easy access to Dawlish Warren, Exeter, and the mainline rail network — making this an ideal base for coastal and country living.
A property of rare quality and charm, offering a lifestyle rich in nature, privacy, and potential.
