Nestled away from the A377, this quaint stone cottage, one of just four former properties belonging to the Earl of Portsmouth, offers a unique opportunity in a beautiful rural setting with expansive views across the countryside. The property is strategically located, providing good connectivity to nearby villages Eggesford and Chawleigh as well as accessible road and rail links to Crediton and Chulmleigh. It’s not only an idyllic country retreat but also a promising investment for those looking to personalize a home.
The cottage is currently habitable yet presents ample opportunities for cosmetic enhancements, enabling a new owner to tailor it to their preferences. Its layout includes a cozy living room featuring a wood burner that efficiently heats the space while also supplying hot water. The kitchen and separate dining room are accompanied by a practical rear lean-to that can serve as utility space or additional storage.
On the upper level, three bedrooms offer great potential for reconfiguration or updating, complemented by family bathroom facilities. Outside, the property stands out with parking availability for several vehicles, a garage, and three stone outbuildings that provide versatile usage options.
The garden space is generous and welcomes outdoor activities with scenic surroundings enhancing its appeal. Additional benefits include a private water supply and drainage system—conveniently eliminating mains water costs—and mains electricity access with generator options.
This property would be ideal for anyone looking to invest in long-term value through thoughtful renovations in an area rich with natural beauty and community spirit.
