The property

The Reading Room, in the pretty Devon village of Stockland, is a cosy cottage which has been recently renovated to an exceptional standard throughout yet retains many charming period touches. Situated in an AONB, this delightful 2 bedroomed cottage is perfect for couples or friends looking to relax and unwind in a tranquil village setting, with a popular village pub and great local walks on your doorstep. Step inside to find a bright open plan living area, with tasteful décor throughout. The cosy sitting area is a wonderful space for sitting back and relaxing in front of the TV. The adjoining kitchen is perfectly equipped for self-catering holidays complete with dishwasher and NEFF slide and hide oven so you can create tasty meals to enjoy with your holiday companions, perhaps accompanied by a glass of wine. Head upstairs and you will find the two double bedrooms, both with ceiling beams and stylish furnishings. The spacious shower room with sleek walk in shower is also located on this floor. At the front of the cottage, the walled cottage garden is a great spot for alfresco mealtimes or an evening BBQ where you can sit and enjoy this wonderful village setting. When you prefer not to cook, Stockland has a fantastic independently owned pub, The Kings Arms, which has a reputation for serving great food and drink with a wonderful beer garden making the perfect stop off after a day out. An area popular with walkers, there are many countryside walks and bridleways in the village with the nearby Jurassic Coast and South West Coastal Footpath a short drive away and rewarding walkers with far reaching views of this popular stretch of coastline. The seaside town of Lyme Regis with its iconic Cobb harbour or the pretty fishing villages of Beer and Branscombe all worthy of a visit. Other popular activities include Burrow Farm Gardens, one of the finest gardens to visit in the UK or Seaton, where you can hop aboard a tram and take a ride along the beautiful Axe estuary. When it comes to stocking up on your day to day essentials, Millers Farm Shop in neighbouring Kilmington offers an array of local groceries and produce with visitors sure to come away with far more than intended. The market towns of Axminster and Honiton are also close by with independent butchers, bakeries as well as supermarkets.
