Summary - ROSE COTTAGE HAM AXMINSTER EX13 7HL
4 bed 1 bath Detached
Characterful four-bed cottage with large mature garden in AONB hamlet, needs some updating..
Four good-sized bedrooms in a detached period cottage
Set in a peaceful hamlet within the Blackdown Hills AONB, Rose Cottage is a traditional detached stone home with generous mature gardens and parking for three vehicles. The house offers four good-sized bedrooms, a dual-aspect sitting room with an inglenook and wood burner, a long conservatory that brings the garden into daily use, and a practical utility/cloakroom. The plot is large with lawn, patios, timber sheds and a substantial greenhouse — ideal for families who value outdoor space and country living.
The property is characterful but requires some updating: the kitchen is dated and would benefit from modernisation, the house uses an oil-fired boiler for heating, and the granite walls are likely uninsulated. There is a single family bathroom on the first floor; buyers should plan for improvements if they need additional bathrooms or modern systems. Constructed before 1900, the cottage will suit purchasers prepared for older-property maintenance and survey checks.
Practical positives include double glazing installed since 2002, off-street parking, and fast broadband speeds despite the remote setting. The location is rural and quieter than town living, about 6–7 miles from Axminster and Honiton for shopping and rail links to Exeter and London. Note: local recorded crime levels are higher than average and council tax is band E, so factor ongoing costs and security into any offer.
