5 bedroom house

A superb "Lifestyle Opportunity" located within the popular village of Monkleigh, this adaptable residence, with a self-contained annexe and separate office, commands a generous plot along with far-reaching countryside views!

The property offers tremendous flexibility and is currently arranged as a four bedroom chalet bungalow, one bedroom self-contained annexe and unique 33’ x 15’ office with road frontage. The spacious annexe is ideal for dual occupation, yet maintaining independence whilst The Old Chapel has been converted into a large office including a reception area, meeting room, kitchen area and W/C but could also offer a variety of uses including a gym, workshop, cinema, games room or to continue growing a business.

Also offering the opportunity to "mark your own mark", planning permission has been granted to extend the current dwelling to create further living accommodation along with two bedrooms and bathrooms on the first floor. The property is also conveniently located with easy access to facilities at both Bideford and Torrington along with the A39 and will appeal to those seeking a flexible family home, dual occupancy opportunity or home with business attached.

The popular Quayside town of Bideford offers a wide range of amenities including banks, a post office, medical centre, primary and secondary schooling, a traditional pannier market along with open-space at Victoria Park and the sporting grounds at both Bideford's Football & Rugby Clubs. The coast is also close to hand along with good transport links to Barnstaple, the regional centre, which in turn provides a rail link to Exeter and easy access to the motorway via the North Devon Link Road.

Properties like this are rare and early viewings are highly recommended to fully appreciate the scope, size, versatility and wonderful lifestyle this property offers.

The spacious, light and airy 4 bedroom bungalow provides versatile family accommodation and can be adapted to suit your needs. It comes with planning permission to extend downstairs to create further living space along with two bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs. The bungalow electrics and heating were fully replaced in 2015/16 and new cables/pipes are in place upstairs ready for this work to be carried out.

The large one bedroom annexe (The Flat) is self-contained with its own separate front and rear entrances. Its perfect for dual occupation but also still allows independence to be maintained.

The former Wesleyan Chapel (The Old Chapel) has been converted into a large home office including reception, meeting room, kitchen area and wc which is ideal to run a business from home but could be used for so many things including games room, cinema, or gym. This could be converted into ancillary accommodation subject to planning permission.

Outside there is a large attractive garden and adjoining paddock which is believed to extend to 0.25 acres. There may be future scope to develop the paddock, subject to planning permission.

There is plenty of parking on the driveway and side vehicle access down to the paddock. This property also comes with the added bonus of a cellar.

Situated in the highly popular village of Monkleigh which has its own sought after Primary School, Pub, Village Hall, Garage and Church.
