A former farmhouse of exceptional character with two superb, self-contained holiday letting cottages and 4.6 Acres set in a beautiful rural location overlooking the River Mole valley EPC:F

Garramarsh Farm represents a most attractive and versatile rural property package centred upon a charming former farmhouse which was extended in Victorian times to afford comfortable and spacious accommodation full of character, located in an attractive setting overlooking its own grounds with a gently sloping pasture paddock to the north, whilst to the west is a parcel of mixed, mainly deciduous woodland. The property has undergone a significant refurbishment programme in recent years including the addition of a newly converted holiday cottage, providing a fine opportunity to acquire a lovely family home with income potential.
Large delightful formal gardens are enjoyed together with a private driveway and an ample car parking area. Outstanding views are afforded across the Mole Valley with about 0.5 of a mile of fishing rights on the popular River Mole. In all, the property offers privacy and seclusion appealing to a wide range of potential purchasers suitable for small scale livestock grazing, equestrian, camping/caravan and holiday letting/investment type purchasers. The present
vendors are currently registered with the Camping & Caravan Club.
Garramarsh Farm extends in all to approximately 4.60 acres.

The property is located just off of the Old Alswear Road to the northern edge of the village of Alswear, with the market town of South Molton being only approximately 3 miles away and offering a good range of local shops, banks, schools, restaurants, public houses, health centres, library, sporting facilities and a cottage hospital. From South Molton the A361 North Devon Link Road provides easy access to the regional centre of Barnstaple to the north west and Tiverton/M5/mainline rail links (Tiverton Parkway) to the south-east.
Alswear itself is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside providing a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Mole and Taw, hunting, shooting and nearby golf courses at High Bullen, Tiverton and Barnstaple. To the north the Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with
many foot and bridle paths, whilst the spectacular North Devon coast with its pretty villages and popular sandy beaches is only about 45 minutes drive away.
