North Buckland

A particularly charming detached Grade II Listed period farmhouse in the Hamlet of North Buckland.

A beautifully presented detached Grade II Listed farmhouse, believed to date from around 1650, offering a wonderful blend of period character and modern comfort. The house retains many original features, including exposed beams, stone floors, inglenook fireplaces, cottage latch doors and window seats, all sitting comfortably alongside thoughtful 21st-century improvements.

The accommodation is both characterful and practical, comprising an entrance hall, sitting room with inglenook fireplace and wood burner, study, snug/TV room, garden/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, cloakroom and utility/boiler room.

On the first floor are four bedrooms, with the main bedroom offering a suite of fitted wardrobes and ensuite bathroom. There is a family shower room that serves the remainder bedrooms. All bedrooms also have wash hand basins.

A fine oak-framed garden room has been added, providing a delightful year-round living and dining space, with vaulted ceiling, wood burner, central heating and doors opening to the gardens.

The property stands within attractive gardens and grounds of about 1.8 acres, enjoying delightful views over the surrounding countryside. There is a useful range of period outbuildings, including car port, workshop, stores and studio, offering potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation or holiday use, subject to the necessary planning and listed building consents.

Outside, the gardens include lawns, well-stocked borders, a sheltered terrace, orchard, octagonal summerhouse, ample parking, stabling for three, paddock and an enchanting young woodland planted with oak and silver birch, with seasonal bluebells, daffodils, snowdrops and primroses.

Set in a peaceful and timeless hamlet, the property is less than a mile from the historic village of Georgeham, with its local store and well-regarded pubs/restaurants. North Devon’s renowned surfing beaches at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton and Woolacombe are all within easy reach, along with coastal walks, cycling routes and the South West Coast Path.

Further amenities are available in Croyde, Braunton and Barnstaple, while Exmoor National Park is within about half an hour. The area is also well served by both state and private schools.
