Looking for a stunning character home? Do you need the ability to house a relative in separate accommodation? Would you like to start your own air b&b business? Do you need outbuildings and driveway parking? If the answer is yes to one or more then this could and probably should be the home for you as it has it all! The present owner has painstakingly and lovingly restored the cottage to its former glory to really enhance the character of the building whilst adding to it a contemporary twist to encompass the convenience of modern day living. Flexible accommodation would allow you to either have one large family home boasting five bedrooms or alternatively two separate dwellings with three bedrooms and two bedrooms respectively. There is even gated parking leading to a pretty courtyard garden with several stone built outbuildings ideal for a multitude of uses or even conversion subject to the relevant consents. From here you pass through a pretty stone arch into an enclosed lawned garden complete with a lovely enclosed seating area which really lends itself to outdoor dining and entertaining whilst gazing over the garden.

Location is often key when considering a move, the ability to enjoy long countryside walks from your front door is a real bonus as well has only having a short stroll to the local shop and public house. The Globe Inn is locally renowned for good food and even better, locally and regionally sourced real ales. The pub was even voted CAMRA North Devon pub of the year in 2020.

Beaford is only a short drive to the closest town of Great Torrington, between which you will find RHS Garden Rosemoor, a beautiful place to visit all year round. Great Torrington itself will cater for most of your shopping needs, this historic cavalier town is surrounded by 365 acres of countryside allowing for miles of scenic walks with access to the locally renowned Tarka trail, a footpath cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where the gradients are gentle. It winds its way following the course of the river Torridge as far North as Ilfracombe or going inland South towards Meeth.

If you are looking for the perfect change of lifestyle this lovely home is exactly what you are looking for. Ticking boxes aside, it is in my experience that the feel of the home is what will make you buy it. Only by visiting you will know if it is "the one". I strongly urge you to take the time to experience it for yourself and would love the opportunity to meet with you there to help embed what you see on paper in the flesh.
