Property description

Planning was granted by Torridge District Council ref 1/0221/2021/ful to allow for extensions and alterations of the existing part cob, stone and rendered dwelling and the erection of a detached car port. When the current Vendors bought the property, it needed renovation and, as part of the planning approval, it was stipulated the works had to be undertaken in a particular order hence the attached car port was finished first.

The house if very much in an unfinished state although the principal walls are in situ allowing for the redesign passed at planning and the intended layout can be seen. The ceiling joists are in and the first floor is very much work in progress with no formal stairs leading to it and little in the way of flooring. The roof timbers are exposed and there is further work to be undertaken to make the roof watertight. The good news is, as agents, we are advised the materials for this are already on site.

Once finished and following the current design layout, the accommodation will comprise a large reception hall, with cloakroom and stairs to the first floor. To the left of the hall will be a triple aspect sitting room with fireplace and this links behind the hall to the kitchen/breakfast room which can also be accessed to the right from the hall. Doors will take you out to the rear of the house. Leading off the kitchen is both a larder/pantry and a utility room which connects to a store room that runs from the front of the house to the back and allows for doors to the outside and stairs up to a store room above. Further down the line, subject to consents this may offer the opportunity for further accommodation.

The main bedroom goes from the front to rear of the house and is of a size that it could be split to create a fourth bedroom. Under the present design it would make a very impressive master suite with en suite shower and dressing room. The other two bedrooms are doubles, one having an en suite shower whilst the other sits adjacent to the family bathroom.

Outside
The car port attached to the house is a triple bay and is built of oak framing under a new slate roof with bat roost in the roof void.
A second car port has been constructed in a similar vein and is only a short stroll away from the house. It has three open bays, a workshop with both external and internal doors all under a slate roof with bat roost in the void.
Throughout the site there is plenty of parking.

Land
This extends to approximately 23 acres and is divided into several fields, paddocks, culm pasture and woodland with pond. An orchard sits close to the house approached through a 5 bar gate and within is a chicken run, polytunnel, a surface mounted swimming pool, timber shed and summer house. Several of the fields link together and from the top field there is a gate opening onto the lane further along.

The two mobile homes, large garden shed 20?x10? (not contents) 3 temporary shelters, polytunnel, small garden shed 8?x6?
