Nestled away from the A377, this quaint stone cottage, one of just four former properties owned by the Earl of Portsmouth, is situated in an idyllic rural setting with expansive countryside views. Its location offers excellent connectivity, being a short distance from both Crediton and Chulmleigh, while Eggesford station on the Tarka Line provides convenient rail links. The nearby Eggesford Forest boasts fantastic walking trails right on your doorstep.
The cottage presents a unique opportunity for buyers looking to invest in a property with significant renovation potential. While it remains habitable in its current state, some cosmetic updates would enhance its appeal and allow a new owner to personalize the home fully. The generous space—both inside and outside—along with the existing features makes it an attractive investment.
Inside, you will find a comfortable living room featuring a wood burner that provides both warmth and hot water via radiators, supplemented by an immersion heater. The kitchen and separate dining room offer functional areas for family gatherings, along with a rear lean-to that adds utility space and storage options.
The upper level includes three bedrooms and a family bathroom, where two of the bedrooms benefit from delightful views over the surrounding landscape.
Outside is where this property truly shines. There's ample parking for multiple vehicles alongside a garage and three stone outbuildings providing significant storage potential. The front garden delivers ample outdoor space complemented by captivating views that emphasize a tranquil countryside lifestyle.
Notably, the cottage relies on a private tested water supply and drainage system, eliminating mains water costs while being connected to mains electricity—with available options for generator use if necessary.
