7 bedroom house

An exciting opportunity to purchase not 1, but 3 properties each having private gardens and access to approximately 7 acres of grounds comprising of paddocks, culm grass lands and pond. Having separate access from the main road, this could be a golden business opportunity subject to any necessary consents.

The Accommodation
The main farmhouse enters through a spacious porch having ample space for outdoors gear and housing the oil fired boiler. Beyond the front door is found the welcoming double aspect dining room having a herringbone block floor and fireplace recess with raised slate hearth.

The kitchen has been designed to maximise work surface area comprising both laminate and tiled tops with a range of cupboards under, 1½ sink unit, four ring electric hob with oven under and space for under counter appliance space. The sitting room is a lovely cosy room being double aspect and having a log burner sitting on a raised hearth. From the kitchen a door opens into a rear hall with cupboard, door to the outside and a straight run of stairs that lead to the first floor landing which has access to the loft space.

All three bedrooms enjoy lovely views over the surrounding countryside. The main bedroom has a range of wardrobe cupboards on two walls. The second features a high built in cabin bed and the third is a twin bedded room with a walk in wardrobe in the middle. Rounding off the accommodation is a good sized bathroom with three piece suite of panelled bath with mixer tap and shower, WC, pedestal wash hand basin and heated towel rail.

The middle property being Higher Cottage, enters into a utility/shower room with separate WC and ample space for hanging outdoor gear. The open plan sitting/dining/kitchen room is a great space with a definite kitchen area along one side that comprises a range of wall floor and drawer units with associated work surfaces and appliance space. Sensibly the floor throughout this room is tiled and a door leads out into the rear porch and into the garden. Stairs rise from the sitting room end to the first floor where there is found a good sized landing with the two bedrooms, both with lovely views, leading off along with a shower room with WC and wash hand basin.

The Post House offers open plan living on the ground floor with a fine glazed door with Crown glass inserts that opens into a sitting/breakfast/kitchen with quarry tiled floor. An artisan kitchen incorporating a single sink with gingham curtains under impressive pine work top with inset 4 ring electric hob, oven under and adjacent pot shelf. One of the more unique features is the shelf running along the wall with branch upstands, not often seen! A cupboard houses the electric boiler and feeds both a radiator downstairs and one in the shower room. Open tread stairs lead to the first floor landing where there is found a most amazing window, again with Crown glass insets that is almost ship-like in its angle and design that gives a glorious outlook across the surrounding countryside as does the window from one of the two bedrooms found on this floor. Rounding off the accommodation is a snug shower room with WC, wash hand basin.

Garden and grounds
An undoubted feature of this complex is the amount of acreage in the form of paddocks and culm grass lands with ponds totalling approximately 7 acres. There is a separate access to the main road from the top of one of the fields, giving this property the opportunity for further business potential (subject to any necessary planning consents). There are three loose boxes in situ close to the farmhouse, currently used for mixed purposes. The paddock to the south of Higher Cottage slopes down to a lake complete with island.

The Farmhouse and Higher Cottage share a driveway to the front, with stone built wall giving a current divide. The Post House has separate vehicular access to the side of the property. Each property has parking for two vehicles.

All three properties have private gardens, each enjoying spectacular unspoilt views across the Devon countryside.
