Set within about 1.8 acres on the edge of Croyde and nestled in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, this Grade II listed barn conversion combines authentic 15th‑century character with generous, luxuriously fitted accommodation. Vaulted rooms, exposed A‑frames and stone flooring create memorable living spaces; the ground floor benefits from underfloor heating and the kitchen is fitted with high‑end integrated appliances. The property includes three double bedrooms, three bath/shower rooms and a large slate terrace ideal for alfresco dining.
The location is a key selling point: a quiet, tucked‑away hamlet position about 1.6 miles from Croyde beach with easy access to other popular North Devon beaches and local amenities in Georgeham and Braunton. Ample off‑road parking, a double carport with storage and a sloping paddock extend the usable land, making this attractive to families seeking space or buyers wanting a high‑earning holiday home—the property produced a gross income of £55,000 in 2024.
Important practical considerations are stated plainly. The house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may cause additional costs or delays for works. The plot lies in a high flood‑risk area; flood resilience and insurance implications should be checked. Services are mixed: mains electricity but private water from a borehole, shared treatment plant drainage, and oil‑fired heating. Broadband speeds are very slow, which could affect remote working. Despite these points, the property is freehold and offered chain‑free, which simplifies purchase for many buyers.
This home will suit buyers who value period character, substantial outdoor space and proximity to the coast — families, second‑home purchasers or investors attracted by holiday‑letting potential. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the scale, the quality of the conversion and the immediate coastal countryside setting.
