Set within about 0.84 acre, Little Eastacombe is a substantial detached period home offering flexible accommodation across two storeys. The property blends traditional features—exposed beams, stone fireplace, hardwood floors—with practical additions such as double glazing, an oil-fired Aga and ultrafast broadband. A large 32'7" conservatory and multiple reception rooms make it suitable for family living, home working or a multi-generational layout. Planning consent for a detached garage was granted in June 2024. No onward chain.
The grounds face west and include formal lawns, raised stone beds, an ornamental pond and sun terraces with power, light and water connections; there is ample parking on the gated driveway. The layout already allows for an annexe-style arrangement (ground-floor bedroom with private doors) and the house has clear scope to create a single- or two-storey annexe subject to consent — the property is being offered as a main house at £599,950, or with an annexe option at £795,000.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the EPC is Band F, primary heating is oil-fired boiler and the property uses private drainage. The stone walls are traditional granite with assumed lack of cavity insulation, so energy upgrades would improve running costs. Council Tax is in Band G, reflecting higher ongoing charges.
This home suits buyers seeking a peaceful country lifestyle with good access to transport links (Umberleigh station and the A377), outdoor space for gardens and pets, plus potential to add value through energy improvements, a garage build or annexe conversion. It will particularly appeal to families, multi-generational households or purchasers wanting country character close to local amenities.
