Set on just over half an acre in the peaceful Devon hamlet of Yarcombe, Stockhouse Cottage is a substantial stone-built home offering wide valley views and extensive outdoor space. The principal reception room stretches the full width of the house with exposed stonework, solid wood floors and patio doors onto the garden — perfect for family gatherings and laid-back country living. There are three double bedrooms, an attic room with Velux windows and an impressive principal bedroom with triple-aspect views and an en suite. A double garage, workshop space and two small outbuildings add practical storage and scope for projects.
The plot’s size and rising panorama are major selling points: lawns, mature planting, traditional stone walls and an adjoining paddock-like area provide privacy and obvious potential for landscaping, small-scale equestrian use or vegetable/garden projects. The property sits within walking distance of a village pub and church, with Honiton and Chard a short drive away for rail and shopping links; access to the A303 and M5 is straightforward.
Buyers should note some practical issues: the property uses a septic tank believed to be non-compliant with current regulations, the EPC is E and the house would benefit from internal modernisation in places. The farmhouse character and outbuildings invite renovation or conversion subject to consents — an opportunity for buyers wanting to add value but not for those seeking a turnkey move-in. Council tax sits in Band E.
Overall this is a characterful rural family home for buyers who prioritise space, views and outbuildings and who are comfortable undertaking targeted upgrades and ensuring drainage compliance.
