5 bedroom detached house for sale

Location

Roborough, Barnstaple

Introduction

Dating from 1851, Roborough Farm House occupies a commanding position with exceptional views over open countryside and down the Taw Estuary to the sea and yet only a few moments drive from Barnstaple centre and North Devon District Hospital. It is one of the finest houses in North Devon and now that the current owners have completely renovated and restored the farm house to the highest specification, the result is a beautiful and prestigious family residence that would be difficult to surpass anywhere. There is also the possibility to extend, subject to planning permission.

North Devon boasts some of the finest beaches in the country and together with several 18 hole golf courses nearby and the proximity to beautiful Exmoor National Park it makes the area outstanding for all forms of sporting recreation. It is just a short distance to the A361 North Devon Link Road and within 45 minutes drive from Tiverton mainline railway station and the M5.

Accommodation

The very flexible accommodation includes generous room dimensions. The lower ground/garden level has under floor heating and now houses the most spectacular Italian kitchen/breakfast room as well as the boot room and a large snug.
