A compact two-bedroom Victorian cottage in Stoke Canon, offered chain free and just over three miles from Exeter. The house retains period character—exposed beams, a fireplace and granite-built walls—and will suit a first-time buyer or couple seeking an affordable starter home within easy commuting distance of the city. The layout is straightforward: sitting room, kitchen, lean-to and ground-floor shower room, with two bedrooms and a separate W.C on the first floor.
Outside is an enclosed courtyard garden immediately to the rear plus a gated rear lane leading to an additional lawned garden shown on the title—useful extra outdoor space for the plot. On-street parking is available outside and local amenities in nearby Stoke Canon include a shop, village pub and a well-regarded primary school; Exeter’s wider facilities are a short drive away.
Practical points to note: the property has an EPC rating of E and the original granite walls are likely uninsulated, so heating costs and thermal improvements should be considered. Accommodation is modest (around 650 sq ft) with small rooms and some quirky circulation (internal W.C accessed via bedroom two). While gas central heating and double glazing are present, further updating or insulating work could add comfort and value.
Offered freehold at £215,000 with low flood risk and low local crime, this cottage presents a manageable renovation and improvement opportunity for a buyer wanting a character home close to Exeter. It’s best viewed in person to appreciate the charm and to plan any desired upgrades.
