Packed with character, versatility and exciting potential, this substantial village home offers an exceptional opportunity for buyers seeking space, flexibility and the chance to create a truly impressive family residence. While the property would benefit from cosmetic updating in places, it is perfectly comfortable to move straight into, allowing the next owner to enhance it over time and make it their own.
Set across three floors, the accommodation is remarkably adaptable, making it equally suited to growing families, those seeking multi-generational living, or purchasers looking to create guest accommodation, subject to any necessary consents.
The ground floor centres around a spacious living room, a welcoming space that was formerly a shop and now provides an excellent setting for everyday family life. Beyond is the kitchen/breakfast room, fitted with solid wood worktops and a range of storage units, with direct access through to the extensive rear garage and workshop. A family bathroom completes this level.
A further reception room on the half landing offers excellent flexibility as an additional sitting room, home office or bedroom. This room opens directly onto a private, south-facing sun terrace, where you can enjoy a peaceful outlook across the surrounding countryside. A separate shower room and useful airing cupboard are also located on this floor.
The upper floors provide an abundance of bedroom accommodation, with several rooms retaining attractive period features including original sash windows, bay windows and window seats. The top floor continues to impress with further bedrooms, a family bathroom and elevated countryside views.
One of the property's standout features is the substantial rear garage and workshop. Offering excellent storage and workspace, it presents endless possibilities for hobbies, a home business, additional storage or future adaptation, subject to any necessary permissions.
Homes offering this level of space and flexibility are increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're looking for a sizeable family home, a property with scope to accommodate extended family, or a rewarding project where you can add your own style and value, this is a home with enormous potential in a sought-after North Devon village.
