Hollocombe, Chulmleigh EX18

A Rural Idyll Tucked within a tranquil wooded valley between Dartmoor and Exmoor, Pensford is an enchanting country retreat embraced by formal gardens and amenity land of around 2.6 acres of gently unfolding Devon countryside.

Description

Believed to date back to the 1700s, the main residence has been thoughtfully extended at each end and updated to create a generous five-bedroom home, rich in atmosphere and practical appeal.
A welcoming boot room leads into a flowing ground floor with statement live-in/eat in kitchen, complete with Neff appliances, oak topped breakfast bar and bi-fold doors opening onto the garden.
A characterful sitting room features an inglenook fireplace, while the family room opens to the terrace, again with bi-folding doors. Upstairs are five double bedrooms (two en suite), a luxurious family bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe to the principal suite.

Outside

The property unfolds gracefully from landscaped gardens with manicured lawns, ornamental trees, and a timber-clad above-ground swimming pool.
Additional outbuildings include a spacious self contained home office/studio with potential letting income, a workshop, and a static caravan, offering flexible space for work, leisure or guests.
For equestrian buyers, the facilities are superb with a thoughtfully designed stable yard with four timber stables, tack room and hay store-with an adjoining manageable winter paddock.
As it stands, Pensford enjoys an idyllic balance of home, gardens and amenity land, perfectly scaled for a relaxed country lifestyle.
For those seeking a little more, there is the rare opportunity to extend this rural haven by acquiring additional adjoining land by separate negotiation, further enhancing privacy, extended grazing and and an even wider sense of unbroken landscape
