A FABULOUS OPPORTUNITY! Imposing and substantial Victorian property in a highly sought after and convenient location, with delightful grounds of 0.6 of an acre.
Location - The property is located in a highly convenient yet tucked away location, on the outskirts of the popular market town of South Molton, with easy access to Exmoor National Park and the North Devon Link Road. The property stands in a small cluster of around 5/6 properties that rarely become available to the open market. The property is just 0.3 of a mile from the market town, which offers an excellent range of amenities including a bank, shops, two primary schools and a community college, pubs and restaurants, a Sainsbury’s supermarket, health centre and a popular Pannier Market (on Thursdays and Saturdays). There is also good access nearby onto the A361 North Devon Link Road, which provides excellent transport links to Barnstaple and Tiverton/Tiverton Parkway and the M5 Motorway in the other.
Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach, located around 5 miles away, and is renowned for its undulating moors and pastureland with streams and rivers running down through deep wooded combes, to the spectacular North Devon coastline. Exmoor offers a range of countryside pursuits including walking, riding, shooting and fishing, and is a designated International Dark Sky Reserve free of light pollution.
The stunning North Devon coastline is around 20 miles away at Saunton, with its spectacular sandy beach and surfing, with an adjoining championship golf course. The regional centre of Barnstaple is around 11 miles away and offers all the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping facilities.
Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway and along the A361 North Devon Link Road. Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station with fast and frequent trains to London and beyond is around a 30 minute drive from the property.

The Property - Offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years is this imposing detached Victorian Gentleman’s residence thought to have been constructed circa 1895 – properties of this style, location, calibre and offering vast potential rarely become available to the open market. The property is currently used for dual family occupation, but lends itself to be utilised in different forms such as one spacious family home, with an annexe or holiday cottage with some alterations.
The property stands beautifully within its grounds of around 0.6 of an acre, where there is ample off road parking and various lawned areas and outbuildings. It is also thought there is further potential within the gardens and grounds (STPP). On the opposite side of the driveway there is a further 1.7 acres of ground, which is available by separate negotiation, comprising an excellent mixture of pasture and woodland. It is thought that this again, offers further potential, subject to any necessary planning permissions.
