Half Moon, Exeter EX5

Charming Grade II Listed Property on a Generous Plot – The Devon Dream

Welcome to this quintessential Devon retreat – a charming Grade II listed thatched cottage set on an expansive plot in the peaceful village of Half Moon, just 15 minutes from Exeter city centre and local amenities. This property perfectly balances rural tranquillity with city convenience.

Brimming with character, the home boasts a beautifully maintained thatched roof, original period features, and a stunning fireplace..

Outdoor Living at Its Best

If you love the outdoors, this is the home for you. Enjoy far-reaching countryside views, sheep for neighbours, and a generous allotment where you can grow your own vegetables. The grounds include an established grapevine, plum tree, and an abundance of berry bushes – with space for many more. A traditional lawn and patio area provide the perfect setting for al fresco dining.

The plot also includes multiple flexible-use spaces and a detached outbuilding. Currently used as a workshop, this could easily be transformed into a summerhouse, home office, or creative studio.

Flexible Interior Spaces

The property is best accessed from the rear driveway. Inside, you'll find a versatile layout with multiple rooms that have served various purposes over the years. The current lounge opens out to the garden via double doors and connects to a downstairs bathroom – this area was previously used as an annex, ideal for multigenerational living.

A large conservatory overlooks adjacent fields and is currently used as an entertaining space, though it once served as the main lounge.

The kitchen has been sympathetically modernised, retaining its original charm while offering ample storage, worktop space, and access to a large walk-in pantry.

An open-plan area connects the dining room with a cosy office nook and features the stunning fireplace mentioned earlier – a warm and inviting heart of the home.

Upstairs Living

Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms, a family bathroom, and multiple storage cupboards.
