An extended Georgian-era farmhouse with an attached two-bedroom cottage, set on a very large private plot about a mile south of Barnstaple. The main house offers generous reception rooms, a south-facing garden and original features such as fireplaces, exposed beams and a traditional Aga in a spacious kitchen/breakfast room. The cottage provides independent accommodation with open-plan living and private garden — useful for guests, multi-generational living or rental income.
Practical outbuildings include a tarmac courtyard, four garages and a large workshop/store (potential studio subject to planning). The mature south garden, lawned areas and specimen willow add privacy and strong outdoor amenity on a substantial plot. Useful local access: walking distance to Barnstaple amenities, rail links and Petroc college; beaches and Exmoor are within about half an hour by car.
There is some updating required: bathrooms need modernising and small ceiling repairs have been noted. Heating is oil-fired with private drainage, and the property has previously been run as a guest house/B&B — offering obvious conversion or income potential but requiring investment. Council tax banding includes an expensive band for part of the property. Overall, this is a spacious, characterful country home with significant scope for renovation, improvement or income use.
