With approximately 12 acres of land, equestrian facilities and a range of large Outbuildings, Waffapool is a property that you will not want to miss. Formerly a farmhouse (refer to historic photos provided), the property is currently offered as 4 Bedroom principal residence with an Attached 2 Bedroom Annexe. Although the house could easily be converted back into 1 dwelling, it will currently suit those who require secondary accommodation or those who might seek to generate a secondary income. The main house has an attractive Sitting Room, a spacious Kitchen / Diner and a particularly generous main Bedroom with En-suite facilities and a walk-in wardrobe. The Annexe has recently been updated with a new Kitchen and a luxury Bathroom. For those looking for equestrian facilities, this property has a Sand School and a large Stable. There is plentiful off-road parking which is in addition to a large Double Garage and a 45' x 35' Barn / Workshop. The land belonging to the property is made up of approximately 8 acres of woodland and 4 acres of grazing. All in all, the property has approximately 12 acres of ground within its borders. Properties with this much to offer rarely come to the market and we would highly encourage a viewing to avoid missing this opportunity. We have provided an accompanying video which we would recommend viewing to gain a clearer impression of the house and its land.


Famous for being the hometown of Edward Capern, the poet postman, Buckland Brewer is one of North Devon’s most beautiful villages. The village is surrounded by a diverse landscape of meadows, woodlands, moors and forestry plantations. The impressive tower of the Church of St. Mary (St. Benedict) is 75 ft. high and can be seen for miles around. It has a pub and village hall and it shares schools with Great Torrington and Bideford.

Close by, Great Torrington has RHS Rosemoor, Dartington Crystal and the brilliant Plough Arts Centre with its diverse programme of movies, craft classes, live bands and stand-up comedy.

Reasonable driving from the Atlantic Highway (A39), Buckland Brewer is well-served by the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy, Great Torrington, Hartland and Ilfracombe.
