" SEEKING A LIFESTYLE CHANGE? If so, this is a superb opportunity to purchase an impressive FIVE bedroom PERIOD HOME, an attached TWO bedroom COTTAGE and an EXISTING BUSINESS. Situated in the HEART of this SOUGHT AFTER DEVON VILLAGE.

This charming and unique Grade II Listed home offers so many options and will allow a purchaser to assimilate directly into the heart of this Devon village community. In addition to the main house is an attached two bedroom COTTAGE which has been a long term letting investment and is well suited for dual family occupancy, a holiday let or could be sold off as a separate residential dwelling. There is more, the main home has an interconnecting well established and busy VILLAGE SHOP which is fully independent to the main accommodation, but could be easily incorporated back into the property as additional accommodation, if so desired. We have also been advised that the house was previously used as a B&B.

The main home combines period features with modern day comforts and the current owners, over the last 20 years, have watched their children grow up in wonderful and safe surroundings with so much to do on the doorstep! There is a small Park a short distance away with wonderful Countryside and River walks nearby. The village is also on the National Cycle Network.

If you are looking for a NEW LIFESTYLE and desire a substantial residence, which is already providing a home with income, then this could be your next DREAM HOME!
