Centrally situated in the lovely East Devon village of Stockland, within an East Devon National Landscape (AONB), this beautiful, detached cottage has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners to create a bright, stylish family home with an appealing country-chic feel throughout.

A charming picket gate and rose arbour opens to a small front garden leading to the front entrance. The porch, with windows to either side and a tiled floor, provides a practical space for coats and footwear before opening into the main hallway. The hallway features attractive wooden flooring, stairs rising to the first floor, and sets the tone for the quality found throughout the property.

To one side of the hall is a spacious dual-aspect living room, enjoying a lovely view to the rear garden and countryside beyond from the wide bay window. A wood-burning stove provides a cosy focal point for winter evenings. On the opposite side of the hall is the heart of the home: a beautifully appointed country kitchen/dining room. This light-filled space enjoys windows to three aspects, including lovely rear views similar to the living room, and is fitted with a wide range of wall and base units topped with black quartz work surfaces. There is a double Butler sink, a built-in Miele dishwasher, space for a large fridge freezer, breakfast bar seating, and a Falcon electric range cooker which may be available by separate negotiation. A stable door opens to the rear garden. Also on the ground floor is a shower room fitted with a modern white suite and walk-in shower.

Upstairs, a generous landing with windows to the front and rear offers an ideal study area with a built-in desk, wall-mounted cupboards and two large storage cupboards. There are three well-proportioned double bedrooms. Two enjoy delightful rear views across the garden to open countryside and the village church tower, while the third bedroom faces the front. The family bathroom is attractively fitted with a white suite comprising a panelled bath, separate shower, WC and wash basin set into a bespoke wooden vanity unit, complemented by a beautiful tiled floor and ladder-style radiator.

Outside, the rear garden is a particular feature of the property. Immediately to the rear of the house is a patio area and a lockable gate providing access to the driveway, which offers parking for two to three vehicles along with a log store and additional open-fronted storage area. Beneath the house, accessed from the garden, is a useful cellar with restricted head height, providing excellent storage and housing the oil-fired boiler and hot water cylinder, with ample space and plumbing for washing machine as well as tumble dryer and freezer. Further storage extends beneath the house.

The garden extends down to a charming bridge crossing a gentle stream, beyond which steps lead up to a further, largely level lawned garden. Mature hedging provides a good degree of privacy, and there is ample space for both relaxation and play. Established planting includes a Bramley apple tree, Mulberry tree and Magnolia, offering shade and seasonal interest.

The property has undergone a comprehensive programme of renovations, including re-plastering and re-rendering, electrics, central heating system, new oil tank, bespoke wooden double glazed windows, some re-arrangement of the first floor rooms, new bathrooms and kitchen as well as redecoration and new floorings throughout.
