Exeter Road, Silverton

This strikingly characterful grade II listed thatched cottage was once half of the locally renowned ‘Three Tuns’ pub, with the building itself dating back to at least the mid 18th Century and evidence that the ground floor dates back further still! The last pint was pulled in 2015, the building was purchased but a local developer and the transformation to this quite stunning property was completed in 2021. The conversion has been finished to a high standard, with a noticeable effort made to blend the original features with the modern build, resulting in a perfect mix of efficiency and character. The current owners have tastefully chosen their decor and colour schemes throughout to continue this theme and accentuate the property’s characteristics. Tremletts’ Cottage, named after three generations of blacksmith who once operated their smithy from the property, sits on the corner of Exeter Road and Tuns Lane and enjoys a quiet position just a stone’s throw from the village shop and post office. With an outlook towards St Mary’s Church and with far reaching countryside views from the first floor, the setting is wonderfully picturesque.

The front door is accessed by a couple of steps on Exeter Road and opens into the entrance area / dining room. Right away, you are aware of the history of the property with the character immediately apparent in the form of the exposed beams. The ground floor has a lovely flow as you loop through the cosy sitting room, into the utility area and on to the kitchen / secondary living space. Here you are in the modern extension which offers a fabulous naturally lit space with high ceilings. From the kitchen, you return to the dining room and front entrance. Upstairs, all three bedrooms enjoy an outlook over the village and towards the church, with bedrooms two and three boasting particularly scenic views across the Devon countryside. There’s a family bathroom, as well as an ensuite shower room in bedroom one.
