This spacious six-bedroom character home offers significant renovation and investment potential in a charming rural village steeped in history, including references to its ancient priory in the Domesday Book. Located just three miles from the market town of Great Torrington and six miles from the bustling sea port of Bideford, the property combines peaceful living with convenient access to essential amenities.
As you enter through the wrought iron gates, you’ll be greeted by a vast driveway capable of accommodating numerous vehicles, providing ample parking for guests or potential rental opportunities. The home's L-shaped design conceals an impressive amount of space within. The reception hall sets the tone for what lies ahead, featuring a striking vaulted galleried landing that adds to the sense of openness.
The expansive 23-foot sitting room is highlighted by a charming brick fireplace and a long window seat perfect for enjoying sunset views. This room seamlessly connects to a bright 22-foot garden room with panoramic vistas over the rolling Devon countryside, making it an ideal setting for gatherings. The adjoining kitchen/breakfast area boasts floor-to-ceiling windows that enhance natural light and showcase scenic views. With plenty of space for a farmhouse table and an array of wall units, this kitchen is well-equipped for culinary enthusiasts.
The ground level includes several versatile spaces: a sizeable dining room able to accommodate large gatherings, a boot room, a family-sized bathroom, and even what could serve as an independent annex with two double bedrooms—one with an en suite shower—offering opportunities for flexible living arrangements or rental income.
Ascend the straight staircase to find more bedrooms on the first floor, including a double-aspect master suite that presents stunning countryside views along with built-in storage. Two additional bedrooms provide ample space for family or guests, while another shower room ensures convenience.
One standout feature is the indoor swimming pool and adjacent games room situated separately from the main residence. The pool area opens up to a terrace with inviting views of the surrounding fields. This space could be transformed into an appealing recreational area or fitness retreat.
Externally, extensive grounds complement the property’s expansive footprint, including tarmac and brick-paved driveways suitable for caravans or motorhomes and a large agricultural barn offering substantial storage space or development potential (subject to planning permission). The gardens are thoughtfully designed to blend seamlessly into their picturesque surroundings; secluded lawn areas provide spots for relaxation amidst lovely floral plantings.
