Summary - CLIFDEN ABBOTSHAM BIDEFORD EX39 5BG
5 bed 4 bath Detached
Elevated five-bed house with one-acre paddock, stables and panoramic rural views.
Five-bedroom detached home with panoramic countryside views
Set in a private elevated position within walking distance of Abbotsham Cliffs and the South West Coast Path, this substantial detached home sits in around one acre of land including a paddock and two stables. The house is designed to take full advantage of wide panoramic countryside views; two principal bedrooms have en-suite shower rooms and private decked balconies. A double garage, gated driveway and extensive parking add practical appeal for families or owners with hobbies and vehicles.
The accommodation is generous and flexible, with multiple reception rooms, a kitchen/breakfast room, utility and a ground-floor shower room. Interiors include a living room with large picture windows, a cosy sitting room with a log-burning stove and a bright study that could serve as a bedroom. The property benefits from mains water and electricity, oil-fired central heating (noted), and good digital connectivity, making it suitable for remote working and modern living.
There are several important maintenance and energy considerations. Parts of the house rely on portable electric heaters and main fuel is listed as wood logs, while external walls are described as traditional granite/whinstone with assumed no insulation — so thermal performance is likely poor and could require significant insulation and heating upgrades. The property uses private drainage (septic tank) which requires ongoing servicing, and the home is older (constructed before 1900) so buyers should budget for period-property upkeep and possible refurbishment.
This is a rare countryside/coastal-edge opportunity for a family, equestrian enthusiast or buyer seeking a project with excellent potential. The setting, paddock and stables are major lifestyle assets, but buyers should factor in energy efficiency works, routine septic maintenance and the higher running costs implied by Council Tax Band F.
