The sale of this property offers an increasingly rare opportunity to buy a very private home with a range of stone outbuildings adjoining with potential for conversion, subject to planning, all set at the end of its own private lane and otherwise surrounded by farmland in the delightful open countryside between the port of Bideford and Barnstaple the administrative centre for North Devon both being under 6 miles.

The property is situated just to the outskirts of the pretty village of Horwood with its ancient parish church and that lies centrally between the towns of Bideford, Barnstaple and Great Torrington. The primary school of Lovacott is within 1/2 mile walking distance and with secondary school in all local towns. Some 4 miles from the property there is access on to the A39/North Devon Link Road which loops around the south side of Barnstaple and provides much improved communications to and from the North Devon area connecting directly as it does through to junction 27 on the M5 motorway to the east side of Tiverton where there is also the Parkway Railway Station from where journey times to London/Paddington are approximately 2 hours distant.

Some 5 to 8 miles to the west of Barnstaple is the large village of Braunton and beyond Saunton Sands with a championship golf course and beach, Croyde Bay with its surfing and Putsborough sands with its surfing and hang gliding, all being within half an hour distant.

Approached over its own long private drive the house, in stone has been updated with double glazing and LPG central heating but there is still some work in progress to complete the project. This will include the superb range of new terracing that takes the fullest advantage of the private location and views.

The small pretty hamlet at Horwood is about a mile to the west with its ancient parish church and to the east a similar distance is Lovacott and Newton Tracey with a local primary school and noted village inn.

At Instow on the River Torridge there is a sandy beach, sailing, and access onto the Tarka Trail an almost traffic free footpath/cycle track the runs around the Taw and Torridge estuary.

To the west of Bideford is the Royal North Devon Golf club at Westward Ho and to the east of Barnstaple the Portmore golf club.
