Stockland, Honiton £550,000

If you're searching for your own little piece of the Devon countryside, perhaps one where you're able to improve and add value to the accommodation, then this pretty period cottage could be just the one for you!

Postock occupies a quiet rural spot on the slopes above the popular East Devon village of Stockland and it has wonderful panoramic views across the valley. The interesting living space has a great deal of essential charm and character with many of the pleasing features you'd expect from this type of home. The Grade II listed property has been extended over the years, it has a modern LPG fired central heating system and we're told it was rewired and replumbed ten years ago. There are three useful ground-floor reception rooms and a large dual-aspect family kitchen-dining room with a handy utility room and loo. Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms and a spacious bathroom with a classic white suite.  

The cottage is surrounded by mature gardens of almost an acre, stocked with numerous specimen plants, roses, shrubs and small trees.   The extensive gardens have a private sun-terrace for sitting out and enjoying the views during fine weather, there's also a small productive orchard, a greenhouse, a pond and a further wild garden area just across the lane.  We estimate the total plot size to be approaching c.1.3 acres.  The property has a gated parking area with a large double garage and workshop building and we believe this could perhaps be further developed to provide a studio or home-office.   

We appreciate that any buyer might wish to upgrade aspects of the living space and we've considered this when setting the asking price, however there's no doubt that Postock offers very comfortable country living just as it is.  There's no onward chain as our buyer is already sorted, so when can we show you around?
