THE PROPERTY
Garden Cottage is a beautifully presented detached cottage situated right in the heart of the desirable and picturesque East Devon village of Stockland. The property has been subject to a comprehensive program of renovation and refurbishment over recent years by the current owners and this has created the fine family home that we find today. Garden Cottage has new hardwood double-glazed windows which are a wonderful addition and perfect for enjoying the glorious countryside views. The oil centrally heated accommodation has an entrance porchway which leads into the entrance hall with wooden flooring and the staircase to the first-floor. Leading from this is the large double aspect sitting room with superb countryside views and a newly fitted wood burner. There is a beautiful fitted kitchen/dining room with Quartz worktops, double Belfast sink, integrated Miele dishwasher and plenty of fitted storage along with access to the rear garden via a stable door. Also, on the ground-floor is a lovely new shower room and useful understairs storage. On the first-floor are the three double bedrooms and large family bathroom with a new suite that includes a separate bath and shower. The good-sized landing has a useful study area and a walk-in storage cupboard.

OUTSIDE
The southerly facing rear garden is a true delight for this fine property with a lovely lawn and seating area directly below the house next to the brook. Newly made fully stocked beds provide year-round colour and interest. There is a very useful void area under the house which provides lots of space for storage. A timber bridge leads over the brook which takes you to a wonderful good-sized area of established lawn with an old Bramley apple tree and vegetable growing space.
