Description

This distinctive four-bedroom Grade II Listed farmhouse is nestled in a serene no-through country lane in Lovacott, offering a blend of historical charm and significant renovation potential. The property features a classic facade complemented by a well-kept front lawn and convenient private parking. A gated driveway at the rear leads to an impressive detached garage block that includes a workshop and first-floor studio, currently serving as overspill accommodation but ripe for conversion with the right planning permissions. Upon entering, the stone-flagged Entrance Hall sets a warm welcome into the home. The Sitting Room captivates with its original inglenook fireplace, complete with a traditional bread oven and modern wood burner – an ideal gathering space for family and friends. Adjacent to this is the inviting Dining Room, characterized by its large slate-flagged floor and multi-fuel burner – perfect for larger gatherings. The kitchen has been recently updated, striking a balance between modern style and period features, featuring a Belfast sink and ample counter space while providing direct access to the rear garden. The ground floor also benefits from a versatile Utility/Boiler Room and a well-appointed Shower Room adding practicality to everyday living. Moving upstairs, the Main Bedroom enjoys an En-suite Bathroom along with fitted wardrobes, while two additional Bedrooms offer comfortable living spaces. The fourth Bedroom can easily adapt to various family needs, highlighted by potential in the large walk-in cupboard on the landing that could be transformed into an additional bathroom (subject to planning). The outdoor area showcases beautifully landscaped rear gardens, including a semi-circular courtyard that serves as an idyllic spot for outdoor dining or relaxing in peace. With mature plantings and stone paths leading through tranquil spaces, these gardens complement the property's characteristics finely. Additionally, the detached Garage/Workshop offers extensive possibilities for storage or creative use such as hobby space or even as an annexe. Located in this desirable region with countryside footpaths nearby, Lovacott is well-connected with local amenities just minutes away in Newton Tracey. With Barnstaple only 5 miles north presenting further shopping and leisure options alongside easy access to North Devon’s stunning coastline including popular destinations like Instow and Woolacombe, this property provides both character-laden living and exciting investment potential.
