Description
Cubberley House is an enchanting detached residence of considerable charm, standing proudly on The Bury in the heart of Thorverton, one of the Exe Valley’s most picturesque and historic villages.
On entering the property, a welcoming hallway sets the tone, giving access to the principal rooms. The reception areas are generous in scale, filled with natural light and perfect for gatherings of family and friends. The kitchen is well designed for modern living, with ample space for both preparation and dining, while a useful utility or cloakroom is conveniently located nearby.
The upper floor provides up to four bedrooms, each of a good size and retaining the character one expects of a period home. High ceilings, sash windows and original details contribute to the sense of history and charm. The accommodation is complemented by one bathroom, offering both practicality and scope for updating to individual taste.
Externally, Cubberley House enjoys a delightful walled garden area to the rear, which is largely private and adorned with a mature Magnolia and providing a pleasant outdoor retreat. To the front, the house is set off by a traditional frontage consistent with the character of The Bury, a cobbled pavement and Leat.
The garage, with its additional space, offers excellent versatility and could serve as a workshop, studio, or even ancillary accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. This presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a project with scope to add further value.
The property retains many period features, including fireplaces, panelled doors and moulded details. With freehold tenure and mains services, it offers the best of both heritage and practicality.
In summary, Cubberley House represents a rare opportunity to acquire a period home of distinction in one of Devon’s most sought-after villages. Its blend of character, space and location make it a property of enduring appeal.
