Lethbridge Farmhouse is a Grade II listed semi-detached period home set off a quiet no-through lane in Lovacott, offered with no onward chain. The house retains strong historic character: an inglenook with original bread oven, exposed beams, slate and flagstone floors and two generous reception rooms. At about 2,250 sq ft the layout suits a family needing separate living space plus a home office or nursery.
Externally there is a substantial detached garage/workshop with studio above and part-used occasional overspill accommodation. The garage block and generous driveway create useful parking, turning space and potential to create an annexe or holiday let subject to planning and listed-building consents. The rear courtyard and secluded garden are private and sheltered.
Practical considerations: the house is listed, which will restrict alterations and could complicate conversion of outbuildings. Heating is oil-fired with a Grant boiler and the EPC is F; modest energy-efficiency and running costs should be expected. Broadband is reported slow and mobile signal average, reflecting the rural setting.
This is a strong proposition for buyers seeking a character home in a well-regarded village close to Barnstaple and the coast. It will particularly suit a family or purchaser wanting flexible outbuildings, but buyers must be comfortable with listed-status constraints and potential refurbishment to improve energy efficiency.
