Description

This expansive farmhouse in North Devon, with origins dating back to the 1750s, comes with the added advantage of two attached holiday-restricted properties. Nestled between Barnstaple and Torrington, this property is situated in a tranquil mews of former agricultural buildings, surrounded by the picturesque North Devon landscape. The charming village of Yarnscombe is just a short drive away, offering a tight-knit community with various social amenities including a village hall and library. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the nearby walking trails and proximity to both Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks. The main farmhouse boasts significant character, featuring original elements such as open fireplaces and beamed ceilings. Although it requires modernisation, it holds great potential as a family residence complemented by income-generating possibilities from the two cottages. The private garden at the rear presents an opportunity to create an appealing outdoor space tailored to your family's needs. Inside, the farmhouse offers spacious living areas that benefit from natural light but need updating. The entryway leads to two sizeable reception rooms equipped with inglenook fireplaces. The kitchen has ample cabinetry and access to a utility area that connects to the garden. Five generous bedrooms await on the first floor, including a principal suite with an en-suite bathroom, while a family bathroom serves the remainder. Outdoors features include a level south-facing garden ideal for customization and parking for multiple vehicles available at the front of the property. The attached cottages—Honeysuckle Cottage and Primrose Cottage—each provide one-bedroom accommodations suitable for rental while enjoying their own parking spaces and gardens. Overall, this property presents an exciting investment opportunity in one of North Devon's serene locales.
