Description

Nestled in a picturesque elevated setting with sweeping views over the surrounding countryside, this Grade II listed Devon Longhouse, originating from the early 16th century, presents an excellent canvas for future investment. While the current owners have made thoughtful enhancements throughout, there remains significant potential for further development and modernization. Characterized by its traditional stone and cob construction beneath a charming thatched roof, this home marries historical appeal with contemporary comforts. The spacious layout on the ground floor includes three sizable reception rooms—kitchen, dining room, and living room—each showcasing unique charm with features such as exposed beams and inglenook fireplaces. Additional practical spaces include a utility room and several store rooms. The first floor accommodates four well-sized bedrooms along with two bathrooms. Importantly, the substantial detached barn currently used for storage holds exciting prospects for conversion into ancillary living spaces or holiday rentals (subject to planning), which could yield significant income potential. The extensive gardens and land surrounding the property enhance its appeal and versatility for various lifestyle ambitions. Overall, this offers a remarkable opportunity to not only enjoy a beautifully preserved home but also to capitalize on its development possibilities in one of North Devon's most idyllic locales.
