A charming, fully restored, detached, Grade II listed cottage with a 0.3 acre garden, lying on the outskirts of the popular village of Plymtree, with excellent local amenities. Convenient access to the M5 and Tiverton Parkway for commuting.


This delightful cottage, which is believed to date back to the 15th or 16th Century, offers a quite unique opportunity to purchase a classic, historic property with no work required! Our clients have sympathetically maintained and refurbished the cottage to a high standard over the years, providing very comfortable accommodation with some fine original features, notably historic beams, ceiling joints and exposed stonework. On entering the cottage, the dining or reception room openly leads to the sitting room and there is a feature fireplace between the two, with a wood burner accessible to both rooms and providing a lovely warm and homely atmosphere to the cottage.

The kitchen was replaced in 2018 in an attractive white style with grey granite work surfaces and offering plenty of storage with useful shelving and racks inside to optimize the space, including in the drawer style fridge. Other integral appliances include a Quooker tap, providing a continual boiling water, Neff integrated dishwasher, two Neff ovens, one a combi-oven with microwave and the other with a slide and hide door; an induction hob with extractor hood over; a kick board fan heater, augmenting the underfloor heating with tiled flooring and attractive lighting, including downlighters. The skylight also provides for a light workspace and welcoming atmosphere when using the door from the rear of the property and parking area.

The large, downstairs bathroom which was replaced in 2019 has been beautifully appointed with a white suite and tiled in a contemporary style, with a classic twist, notably with a free standing eagle claw foot, Victorian bath. There is a large, separate shower cubicle, vanity unit with wash basin, WC, and further counter and cupboard storage unit. The tiled flooring with underfloor heating and the heated towel rail add to the luxury and comfort of this attractive room.

Upstairs, the generous landing leads to the double bedrooms, both with antique floorboards and beam features and the principal bedroom with a range of fitted wardrobes. There is a large insulated loft that is boarded out with power.

Outside, the extensive garden which surrounds the cottage is a prime feature and has been carefully tended by our client over the years, who is a keen gardener. It is principally laid to lawn with various flowerbeds, a pond with continuous running water and fish, some paved and gravel sitting areas, and a number of varied shrubs and trees planted, including a palm tree! At the far end, there is a summerhouse, behind which is a useful compost and bonfire area, and closer to the cottage, a log store and garden shed.

On approach to the cottage via an ornate iron gate, there is parking for two cars, leading to the large double garage and workshop, also with a utility area with plumbing for a washing machine.

Agent's note: most commonly with stone and cob cottages, the external render is at fault or the wrong type but Randa Cottage has just been completely re-rendered with lime based render and paint used to ensure it 'breathes' well and does not get damp. We understand other works include rewiring in 2018 and a new thatch in 2020.

Randa Cottage lies a moderate walk, about 0.6 miles, from the centre of the village, which has a good range of local amenities including a busy community shop and post office, local pub 'The Blacksmiths Arms', church and a few steps further, the popular primary school.

The village lies within easy reach of both Cullompton and Honiton, with a full range of services, and is ideal for commuting, with quick access to the M5 motorway and good rail links. From junction 27 of the M5, the Tiverton Parkway station at Sampford Peverell, has regular inter city services (London Paddington in 2 hours) and Honiton also has a mainline railway station with services to London Waterloo. The Blackdown Hills and East Devon coastline are readily accessible and are enjoyed by many living in this pretty, rural area.
