Characterful Thatched Home Offers Idyllic Rural Lifestyle

A characterful 19th-century thatched property has come to market in the peaceful rural hamlet of Thrushelton, Devon, offering buyers a rare opportunity to own a traditional country home surrounded by landscaped gardens and countryside.

Spring House, located around 1.5 miles north of Lewdown, is a four-bedroom property believed to date from the mid-to-late 19th century. The home retains many original features, including exposed oak beams, slate flagstone floors, window seats, inglenook fireplaces and oak lintels.

Inside, the property features three substantial reception rooms, including a bright drawing room with a wood-burning stove, alongside a spacious country kitchen and dining area equipped with an oil-fired Aga. A garden room provides direct access to the rear patio and gardens.

Outside, the property includes a heated garage, carport and workshop, while the landscaped garden features lawns, mature trees, shrubs and a generous entertaining terrace.

A bespoke 24ft shepherd’s hut, positioned in a nearby field with countryside views, is also available separately. The property combines historic charm with practical modern facilities in a tranquil Devon setting.
