Available for the first time in over eight decades, this unique property presents a rare opportunity to transform it into a stunning family residence. Nestled in the picturesque Rockbeare Village on an expansive plot of approximately 0.45 acres, Sydney Cottage stands out for its potential for renovation and investment.
Upon entry, you are welcomed by an entrance hall leading to two generously sized reception rooms, both featuring classic open fireplaces that echo the home's historic charm. The fitted kitchen provides lovely views of the rear garden, while a utility room and bathroom complete the ground floor layout.
The staircase from the living room leads to the first floor where three well-proportioned bedrooms await, all benefiting from pleasant views over the front garden. Although renovation is needed throughout to modernize this home, the possibilities for creating a beautiful family dwelling are vast and appealing.
The exterior offers extensive gardens enveloping the property with multiple seating areas and useful outbuildings including a brick store and greenhouse at the rear. The front garden features attractive borders alongside a quaint well. Additionally, there are two carports, a workshop, and a coal shed enhancing the property's functionality. Originally two cottages, this history adds further character and redevelopment options.
Set in Rockbeare—a serene village tucked away in East Devon's countryside—this location combines rural tranquillity with excellent transport links. Just minutes from Ottery St Mary and Exeter, it merges country charm with easy access to amenities. The community is vibrant with local facilities such as a primary school and village hall, while scenic walking routes offer outdoor enthusiasts plenty of adventure. Conveniently located near major roads and rail links, this area is ideal for families seeking peace without sacrificing convenience.
