Horns Cross, Bideford, Devon, EX39

This impressive Grade II listed Devon Longhouse, originating from the early 16th century, is nestled in an elevated countryside location with sweeping views over the lush landscape towards Parkham village. While the property has been thoughtfully restored by its current owners to preserve many original features—such as exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces—it also presents significant renovation opportunities for those looking to enhance its charm further or create additional living spaces. The home comprises four bedrooms and three spacious reception areas, including a kitchen/breakfast room, dining room, and living room that all exude character. The layout includes utility areas and ample storage rooms on the ground floor, while the first floor accommodates a master suite along with three additional bedrooms and a family bathroom. Beyond the interiors, Lower Holwell boasts approximately 8 acres of land comprising formal gardens, pastureland, and woodlands, providing plenty of scope for outdoor activities or potential agricultural use. The existing detached barn serves as both garaging and storage but offers an appealing possibility for conversion into ancillary accommodation or holiday lets (subject to planning approval), thus creating additional income streams. With private access via a sweeping driveway leading to landscaped gardens and multiple outbuildings, this property is not just a home; it’s an investment opportunity in one of North Devon’s most picturesque settings. Its excellent transport links further enhance its appeal for anyone considering both lifestyle enjoyment and future development.
