Sharlands Road, Marhamchurch, EX23

Set amidst the scenic countryside, this period property presents a unique investment opportunity, being on the market for the first time in almost a century. While it has undergone some sympathetic modernisation to preserve its historic character, there remains significant potential for further enhancement. The property features five spacious bedrooms and three generous reception areas, making it a versatile family home or an avenue for multi-generational living. The ground floor showcases two inviting reception rooms with bay windows that invite natural light and offer picturesque views over the surrounding farmland. A recently installed kitchen with flagstone slate flooring leads out to a patio area, ideal for summer gatherings. A traditional pantry, complete with slate shelving and shutters, offers additional charm and functionality. A separate dining room can serve multiple purposes—from an additional bedroom to a playroom or home office. Upstairs, the five double bedrooms all boast stunning countryside vistas, with the master suite equipped with an ensuite featuring a freestanding bath. Two additional bathrooms cater perfectly to family needs. Externally, the property is set on approximately 2 acres of gently sloping land that can accommodate equestrian activities or expanded gardens. There’s also ample parking space and plans in place for further land acquisition. A standout feature of this property is the granted Class Q planning permission for converting five existing barns into residential units—one detached three-bedroom home and four semi-detached dwellings of two to three bedrooms each. This development potential could serve as an excellent opportunity for rental income or holiday lets while retaining the rural essence of the site. Given its unique attributes and planning permissions already in place, this property holds immense appeal for those looking to invest in an expansive family home or capitalize on its redevelopment potential.
