Set in the heart of Stockland, this well-presented three-bedroom cottage combines genuine period character with practical family living. The ground floor offers a cosy sitting room with a large fireplace and inset log burner, an additional snug, and a generous kitchen with granite and oak worktops plus large windows framing garden and countryside views.
Upstairs provides three bedrooms including a master with ensuite; the other bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom. Built before 1900, the house retains original features such as a bread oven and exposed stonework that give it rustic appeal and a timeless feel.
Outside is a walled, low-maintenance garden with a courtyard patio, lawn, raised vegetable beds and a large shed. The cottage sits in a friendly village with a primary school, community-run pub, village hall and easy access to Honiton, Axminster and the South West coast — ideal for families wanting rural life with nearby amenities.
Buyers should note clear practical issues: main heating appears to rely on a log burner and portable electric heaters, and the sandstone/limestone walls are assumed uninsulated. These factors will affect running costs and may require insulation or heating upgrades. Crime levels are reported as high for the area, and the garden and plot are modest in size compared with larger rural properties.
