This property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in a period farmhouse set within an expansive estate of approximately 42 acres, combining undulating pasture and woodland. The three-bedroom detached farmhouse retains its character with rendered elevations and a slate roof, yet offers significant scope for modernization and improvement. While currently functional, the interior will benefit from updates throughout to enhance its appeal as a cozy family home or a lucrative rental investment.
In addition to the farmhouse, the estate features a distinctive two-storey stone barn with attached roundhouse, previously granted planning consent for conversion into ancillary accommodation or holiday lets. This could be reinstated or reimagined for various uses, capitalizing on the picturesque surroundings and proximity to popular coastal destinations. Equestrian enthusiasts will appreciate the existing stables and potential for riding businesses, given the off-road access along the nearby Tarka Trail.
The property’s diverse buildings—ranging from dilapidated Nissen huts to stone outbuildings—provide ample possibilities for redevelopment, subject to planning permission. The various land parcels could also support outdoor business ventures such as camping or glamping.
Located near Ilfracombe and Woolacombe, this rare estate not only offers access to beautiful coastline but also benefits from excellent local amenities and transport links, making it suitable for both family living and commercial endeavors. The potential here is vast; whether you envision developing multiple dwellings or simply enhancing the existing layout, Bickenbridge Farm is poised for transformation.
