Vellancoth is a characterful stone barn conversion set within almost two acres of mature gardens and woodland-edge seclusion, arranged around an attractive walled courtyard. The main house offers reverse-level living with a light, open-plan first-floor reception and kitchen, three ground-floor bedrooms (one en suite), and generous attic/room count across 2,460 sq ft. A detached one-bed annexe (‘The Old Stables’) and a large garage/workshop add useful flexibility for guests, multi‑generational use or possible holiday-let income (subject to consents).
The site sits in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty close to coastal paths, beaches and local villages while remaining private and tucked away. Practical upgrades already present include double glazing installed since 2002 and a ground-source heat pump with underfloor heating; broadband is reported fast. The property is offered freehold and chain-free, ideal for buyers seeking immediate occupation or a flexible rural base.
Important considerations: the house is Grade II listed so alterations will be constrained and require consent; the EPC is F and the stone walls are likely uninsulated, so further energy improvement works may be needed. Mobile signal is reported as none and the location is rural and relatively isolated, which suits privacy but affects day-to-day convenience. Overall this is a sizeable, character-rich property suitable for families, multigenerational households or buyers wanting a country lifestyle with scope for careful updating and income potential.
