Set in a quiet North Devon hamlet, Town Farm Cottage is a 300‑year‑old detached character home with about 3.19 acres of paddocks, stables and a 25m x 50m sand-and-fibre arena. The cottage’s traditional rooms, wood-burning stove and country kitchen deliver authentic rural living while the outbuildings, tack room and strong yard space create immediate equestrian or smallholding capability.
The house offers two double bedrooms and a newly fitted modern bathroom, plus utility/boot room and cosy living/dining space. A large private driveway and enclosed courtyard gardens provide secure parking and outdoor storage. The land is arranged in post-and-rail paddocks with hardstanding and additional outbuildings, giving scope to run livery, start a small agricultural business or develop a self-sufficient setup (subject to planning).
Practical realities are straightforward: the property is in a remote, low‑crime hamlet with average mobile signal but very slow broadband and an area with higher deprivation indicators. The cottage’s age and character mean some ongoing maintenance and potential modernisation may be needed; any substantial change of use or building work would require planning permission. Access to Holsworthy and Bideford is good for local shops and services, and there are nearby primary and secondary schools.
This home will appeal to equestrian buyers, smallholders and rural lifestyle seekers who prioritise land, privacy and usable facilities over urban conveniences. It represents a rare package of period charm and ready-to-use equestrian infrastructure, with clear potential for those prepared to manage a heritage cottage and a rural site.
