Description

This elevated coastal property presents a unique opportunity for a savvy investor or renovator. Comprising a detached two-bedroom reverse living house alongside two single-storey two-bedroom cottages, all structures are in need of modernisation.

Nestled in a sought-after North Devon coastal locale, the property boasts stunning views over the estuary and surrounding countryside. It is conveniently located within walking distance to local beaches and village amenities, providing both privacy and versatility. Additionally, there is an option to acquire extra land that includes an orchard and approximately 5.77 acres of pastureland through separate negotiation.

The community offers numerous dining options including award-winning restaurants and cafes, while the local yacht club and access to the Tarka Trail enhance recreational opportunities in this friendly village known for its strong sense of community.
