Plans available for rear kitchen and bedroom/wet room extension

Very slow broadband and average mobile signal—limits remote working
Granite walls assumed uninsulated; EPCs rated E, higher running costs
Set in about an acre of landscaped gardens and paddock with panoramic countryside views, this detached former farmhouse has been refurbished and runs as an established holiday letting and B&B business. The principal house (Moorview) is arranged as owner’s accommodation plus a three-room guest wing, while The Smithy is a separate two-bedroom self-catering cottage. The layout suits continued holiday use, multi-generational living or conversion to a single large residence.
The property was upgraded in 2021 with a new roof, plumbing and heating; guest rooms have been fully refurbished and achieve strong guest reviews. Plans are available for a proposed rear kitchen and bedroom/wet room extension, providing clear scope to improve circulation and add contemporary indoor–outdoor living. Off-street parking, patios and a large rear paddock create additional income or leisure opportunities (camping/glamping subject to consents).
Important considerations: broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, limiting remote-working appeal without investment. Walls are original granite/whinstone and assumed to have no cavity insulation; EPC ratings are E for both main house and cottage. The kitchen in the owner’s wing requires refurbishment to bring it up to modern standards. Council tax and running costs are above average for the area.
This is a practical purchase for a buyer who values an established rural holiday business and wide private grounds close to the coast (approx. 6 miles), and who is comfortable investing in targeted upgrades (insulation, kitchen, broadband) to boost year-round trading or convert the layout to a single residence.
