Trood's Cottage, Clayhidon, Cullompton, Devon, EX15

Trood’s Cottage presents a promising opportunity for buyers seeking a renovation project in the scenic Blackdown Hills. This former stone cottage, set on a generous 0.56-acre paddock, comes with granted planning permission for both restoration and extension. The approved plans allow for a thoughtful transformation into a two-bedroom home featuring essential spaces like a kitchen, dining area, sitting room, and utility room on the ground floor, as well as two parking spaces and an additional garden store. Located near the picturesque village of Hemyock, residents will benefit from local amenities including shops, educational institutions, and easy access to major transport links such as the M5 motorway. However, potential buyers should be aware of the current dilapidated state of the property and that new service connections need to be established due to its lack of existing utilities. Interested parties are advised to exercise caution when viewing, particularly given the unstable condition of certain aspects of the structure. This is an ideal project for those looking to invest in a rural retreat with significant customization potential.
