A versatile pair of properties on the edge of Exmoor: a characterful 3‑bed semi with a detached 1‑bed barn, offered chain free and ready for immediate dual living or rental income. The main house combines exposed beams, a granite Belfast sink and an Esse stove with a welcoming lounge centered on a stone surround wood burner — classic rural features that create instant atmosphere. The barn (converted 2013) is self-contained, with private parking and its own low‑maintenance garden; ideal for guests, an Airbnb let, or extended family.
Practical notes for buyers: heating is by electric storage heaters and the stone walls are assumed to be uninsulated, with double glazing installed before 2002. These facts mean the property will benefit from targeted energy upgrades and insulation work to improve comfort and running costs. Broadband is fast but there is no mobile signal at the site — important if you rely on phone reception outdoors.
Outside, the large sunny garden and wild meadow areas capture valley views and provide flexible space for gardening, parking expansion or leisure. Driveway parking currently accommodates 2–3 vehicles for the main house and two for the barn. With no onward chain and good access to local amenities (pub, post office) and Barnstaple within driving distance, this is a rare rural package for buyers seeking lifestyle, rental potential or multigenerational living.
