Property description

Tucked away at the end of a peaceful country lane and enjoying stunning views over the beautiful Exe Estuary, this deceptively large, well-presented three-bedroom end-terrace home with a particularly generous garden is a truly special find. With origins dating back to the early 1800s, the original cob-built cottage has been sympathetically extended over the years — first in the 1920s and then again in the 1980s — creating a spacious and flexible home full of charm, character, and modern practicality.The property sits alongside a generous private driveway with parking for four vehicles, as well as a garage with electric and lighting. Step into the entrance porch and you’re welcomed by a bright and practical space that is perfect for keeping all your coats and shoes out of the main house as well as a space to dry the dog after a long walk! There is also a very handy cloakroom/utility room off this area as well as a door leading through to the main house. Inside, an entrance hall offers access to the key living areas: a large dual aspect sitting room, a good-sized kitchen, and an inviting dining room. Beyond the dining room, a flexible study/family room is located off an internal hallway that also houses the staircase to the first floor.The sitting room is a standout feature of the home — spacious, light-filled, and enjoying a dual aspect that captures views of the estuary and garden. Patio doors open out onto a sunny terrace, blending indoor and outdoor living beautifully and making this a perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining. The room's generous size and tranquil ambiance make it ideal for cosy evenings or large family gatherings alike.The kitchen, well-proportioned and equipped with a double oven and gas hob, is both practical and well-positioned. A large window over the sink frames a lovely view of the devon countryside — a reminder of this home’s spectacular setting, even while doing the washing up. There is also a door providing access to the garden.The dining room is another well-sized space, perfect for both formal dinners and everyday family meals. From here, the internal hall leads to the study/family room — a spacious and flexible additional reception room that could easily be used as a home office, playroom, or snug.Upstairs, the sense of space continues with a very generous landing. Two windows bring in excellent natural light — one featuring a charming window seat, and the other offering more of those exceptional Exe Estuary views. This is a home where the beauty of the surrounding landscape is always close at hand.All three bedrooms are comfortable doubles. The first, located at the top of the stairs in the original cob-built part of the house, and enjoys a fantastic estuary view which can be enjoyed from a window seat. The second is another generous room, ideal for guests or family. The main bedroom, found at the rear of the house, is a real retreat — a spacious, dual-aspect room with its own en-suite bathroom and views across both the garden and Devon countryside to one side, and the estuary to the other. It’s a truly peaceful and luxurious space to unwind.The family bathroom is well-sized and serves the remaining bedrooms, completing the accommodation upstairs.Outside, the property continues to impress. A patio area directly outside the sitting room provides the perfect space for outdoor dining, morning coffee, or watching the estuary tides shift throughout the day. Beyond this, the garden is expansive — originally a market garden it is a true haven for gardeners, families, or those simply seeking privacy and space. The first two-thirds is laid mostly to lawn, offering room for children to play, summer parties, or simply soaking up the views. The back third transitions into a natural wild meadow and orchard, home to two apple trees, a cherry tree, and a plum tree — adding both beauty and biodiversity. This part of the garden is alive with birdsong and the gentle rustle of trees, and it again offers the most spectacular estuary views.Nestled along the banks of the Exe Estuary, Cockwood is a picturesque and highly sought-after village offering an idyllic blend of coastal charm and countryside tranquillity. Just a short drive from Exeter, this historic village is known for its scenic harbour and welcoming community atmosphere. The village has its own primary school and pub, The Anchor Inn — offering delicious food and estuary views, perfect for relaxing after a walk along the water’s edge.It is ideally located for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, with direct access to beautiful estuary walks, nearby sandy beaches, and an abundance of local wildlife. Despite its peaceful setting, the village is well connected, with easy access to the A379 and mainline rail services from nearby Starcross, making commuting to Exeter and beyond both quick and convenient. Whether you're seeking a quiet retreat or a well-located base with stunning natural surroundings, Cockwood offers a truly special place to call home.This charming and surprisingly spacious home offers a unique lifestyle opportunity — it’s a property that invites you to slow down and savour the beauty of your surroundings while offering all the comfort and practicality required for family life or a peaceful retirement.VIEWING: By prior appointment with RedfernsSERVICES: Mains Electric, Water and Sewerage with Gas Central HeatingINTERNET: Full Fibre Broadband (Download Speeds up to 1600Mbps) is available (Checked on Openreach website)MOBILE: Coverage is available for all four major networks outside the property but limited inside (Checked on Ofcom website)FLOOD RISK: Very low risk of flooding from rivers and the sea.
