Boskins

A truly unique opportunity enjoying seclusion and tranquillity surrounded by farmland and enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding Devonshire countryside.

Approached by its private sweeping lane, Boskins will be found to be an impressive period barn conversion having been tastefully renovated by the current owner but with scope for further improvements. The courtyard of traditional barns and outbuildings, which are currently used for stabling and livestock, are considered ripe for conversion, subject to the necessary consents, whilst the landscaped grounds extend to some 3 acres and include large sun terraces and patios, a pond and formal lawns together with 2 Paddocks.

Character features are in abundance throughout this fine family home which boasts a large Reception Porch and welcoming Reception Hall at the heart of the property. On the Ground Floor is a large triple aspect Sitting Room with Dining and Study areas. This room features a large beamed fireplace and beamed ceiling. The handcrafted Kitchen / Breakfast Room has a large selection of cupboards beneath slate worktops and a matching Island / Breakfast Bar. This room is served by a separate Utility Room.

The Galleried Landing provides an ideal area to sit and relax with Velux roof lights flooding in the natural light. There are 3 generous Bedrooms and a recently refitted Shower Room and Family Bathroom on this floor.

Heavily beamed ceilings, exposed trusses, reclaimed Kentucky oak doors and exposed natural stonework are some of the many features that will greet you upon arrival.


Boskins is situated on the edge of this highly sought after rural village, yet conveniently located within easy access to amenities, the stunning coast and breathtaking countryside.

The village of Horwood sits on high ground enjoying views over the surrounding countryside, whilst the village of Lovacott is around a mile away and benefits from a popular primary school as well as a bus service. Newton Tracey is about 1.3 miles away and benefits from a popular public house / restaurant.

The spectacular North Devon coastline – recently selected as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR) – the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world – is easily accessible from the property with the coastal village of Instow about 5 miles away offering a sandy estuary beach, sailing club, delicatessen, pubs and restaurants.
