Stockland is a pretty village on the edge of the beautiful Blackdown
hills, close to the market towns of Honiton and Axminster and a short
drive to the coastal resorts of Lyme Regis, Seaton and Sidmouth. The
village has a thriving community centred around The King's Arms Inn, the
village hall, school, church and Post Office. There is also a children's
playground, a cricket ground and tennis courts. Every May Bank Holiday
Stockland holds its traditional Country Fair with refreshments, dancing,
local crafts and tug-of-war. White House Cottage is a charming, detached
property dating back over 300 years, situated opposite the owner's
house, within their grounds. Completely refurbished and extended it now
boasts a modern kitchen, comfortable living room and a separate reading
area. Wooden stairs lead up to the lovely bedrooms and roof terrace,
accessed from the twin bedroom. The terrace has a table and chairs and
overlooks the owner's delightful garden. The surrounding countryside
offers excellent walking with the West Country's National Parks,
Dartmoor and Exmoor, within easy reach. The nearby village of Kilmington
has two thatched pubs and a popular farm shop selling local produce and
French delicacies. The 'Royal Oak Farm' at Cotleigh serves delicious
cream teas in their olde worlde tearooms. Axminster and Honiton are both
within half an hour’s drive. Axminster has a weekly market, a variety of
pubs and restaurants, a leisure centre and swimming pool. Honiton,
renowned for its lace and pottery making, is now a magnet for antique
dealers and browsers with specialist shops and auctions. For an action
packed family day out Crealy Great Adventure Park is hard to beat and
for a totally different experience try fossil hunting along the stunning
Jurassic Coastline at Lyme Regis or Seaton. There is no private parking
but on road parking is available outside the cottage
