Little Knightacott Farm is a substantial detached chalet-style home set at the end of a quiet no-through lane, with open countryside and distant sea views towards Saunton. The house offers flexible accommodation arranged largely on the ground floor — three bedrooms downstairs and a bright master suite in the loft — making it suitable for multi-generational living or a home-with-income arrangement. The property sits around a large concrete yard with a stone former piggery and car port, giving useful ancillary space and genuine conversion potential (subject to planning).
Practical features include oil-fired central heating, a security alarm and a useful utility room and pantry. Parking and vehicle access are excellent: ample yard parking with space for a motorhome or caravan and additional hardstanding. There is also the option to purchase up to 35 acres of adjoining pasture by separate negotiation — appealing for equestrian, smallholding or agricultural uses.
Buyers should note several material points: the property is on a private water supply with private drainage, broadband speeds are very slow, and the EPC is band E. Some original features require attention — the open fireplace needs a new flue lining and the outbuilding conversion will need planning and refurbishment. Heating is oil-fired (not community) which can be costlier than mains gas. The sale is freehold and offered with no onward chain.
Overall, this is a countryside home for purchasers who value space, flexible ancillary buildings and land-option potential, and who are comfortable managing private services and some renovation work to unlock full value.
