4 bed detached house for sale

Hartland, Bideford EX39

Home Farm Cottage occupies an idyllic countryside location in the hamlet of Philham which is not far from the popular coastal village of Hartland.

This house has been dramatically improved by the current owners and has served as a popular and impressive holiday let. The house offers plentiful accommodation across 2 floors with 4 double Bedrooms upstairs served by 2 Bathrooms and a Shower Room. The Ground Floor offers a variety of living spaces with 3 Reception Rooms and an extensive Kitchen / Breakfast Room that opens to the rear garden. The quality of the finish throughout the property is universally impressive.

To the rear of the property is a wonderful garden being mainly lawned and arranged over 2 levels. There are paved and decked seating areas providing space to sit out and enjoy the rural surroundings. The house has driveway parking to either side and there is a large Garage which has been converted into 2 useful Storage Sheds.

We have created an accompanying video tour which we would highly recommend watching to better appreciate the house and its unique location.

Hartland is a pleasant village described as ‘the most welcoming community’ in North Devon. It really is a lovely place to live and visit.

The village itself has quite a few useful shops, pubs and churches and a primary school too. The highlights of the larger area of Hartland includes the dramatic Hartland Quay with its craggy black rocks and friendly hotel. The South West Coast path takes in Hartland Point and Speke’s Mill Mouth. There’s the lighthouse, Hartland Abbey and an iconic radar station in the area too, so it’s quite a spot to explore. It’s rural Devon at its very best.

Hartland is within short driving distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39) that is the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde and Ilfracombe.
