4 Bedroom Terraced House

Set amid the glorious open countryside of the rugged and beautiful Hartland Peninsula, within a designated area of outstanding natural beauty, this Grade II listed character home represents a rare opportunity to embrace an altogether different pace of life. Surrounded by superb coastal and countryside scenery, the property is complemented by an approximately 5-acre paddock with stables, from which wonderful sea views can be enjoyed.

Charm is evident from the moment you arrive. The property is approached through a gate into an attractive front garden, where areas of lawn are accompanied by a paved patio and a pathway leading to the front door.

Inside, a large and welcoming Entrance Hall immediately gives a sense of the generous proportions found throughout the home. There is access to a ground floor Cloakroom and useful understairs storage, together with sufficient space to create a practical home office area.

The Kitchen is fitted with an extensive range of grey cabinets and drawers, complemented by wooden work surfaces. A number of appliances are included in the sale, including an American-style fridge / freezer, gas cooking facilities and a characterful multi-fuel Rayburn. A cupboard houses the LPG fired boiler.

The Dining Room has wooden flooring, a multi-fuel stove and ample room for a substantial dining table, making it a wonderfully inviting space for family meals and entertaining. Two distinctive porthole-style windows add further character. The Living Room is equally impressive, with windows to both the front and rear allowing natural light to flow through the room. A high ceiling and exposed stonework create a particularly attractive focal point and reinforce the property’s historic appeal.

Also on the ground floor is a versatile fourth Bedroom, which could equally serve as a study, snug, hobby room or additional reception space.

Upstairs, a large L-shaped landing leads to a useful Utility Room with space and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The Principal Bedroom is generously proportioned and features wooden flooring, 2 windows and access to the loft space. Its large En-suite Bathroom is a particularly impressive feature, with a freestanding roll-top bath and shower over.

The second Bedroom is another spacious double room with a front-facing window and built-in double wardrobe. Bedroom three also offers excellent proportions, enjoying a dual aspect and fitted wardrobe. A separate Family Bathroom, fitted with a bath, WC and wash basin, completes the first floor accommodation.

Parking is available within an allocated space, with additional space to park directly in front of the house.

A short walk from the property lies the approximately 5-acre paddock, a fantastic addition that opens up a wealth of lifestyle possibilities. Currently home to grazing sheep and horses, the land would naturally appeal to equestrian buyers, those wishing to establish a smallholding or anyone dreaming of enjoying a slice of the “good life” in one of North Devon’s most captivating settings.

The paddock includes 4 stables, a tack room, a large storage shed and a further partly constructed building with a concrete base. There may also be potential to remove the existing stable buildings and replace them with a larger barn, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consent. The approximate boundaries of the land are shown on the accompanying aerial photographs.

The property is served by communal LPG tanks, with each home individually metered. A modern shared water treatment plant was recently installed at a reported cost of approximately £84,000, offering considerable reassurance for the future. An annual service charge of approximately £900 contributes towards the shared facilities and communal arrangements.

Offering historic character, generous accommodation, land, equestrian potential and a truly glorious coastal countryside setting, this is an exceptionally exciting opportunity at a tantalising price. For buyers seeking space, freedom and a more fulfilling rural lifestyle, an early viewing is wholeheartedly recommended.
