This is a truly wonderful life style and secluded property reached along its own driveway currently arranged to offer dual occupancy but could easily be reverted back with the removal of a partition wall. The property itself offers most characterful accommodation with the scope for further improvement or the opportunity to extend.

The property takes full advantage of the elevated position with fabulous views over the River Torridge and beyond from the majority of the rooms. A major feature of the property is the extensive and surrounding gardens with its natural pathways, ponds and secluded seating areas, ideal for lovers of flora and fauna.

This is one of those properties which needs to be viewed inside and out to be truly appreciated. The agents recommend an early appointment to view.
