According to a plaque above the front door, the cottage was built in 1867 and was once part of a much larger working farm. There is ample space and clear potential to extend the cottage to create a larger family sized dwelling and there has previously been planning permission for an extension although this has long expired.
Although currently used solely for private equestrian purposes, there is planning permission to use five of the stables for livery, and subject to the necessary consents, there is scope to use some of the remaining barns for commercial purposes. The lower fields, which include the beautiful lake and deciduous woodland, would make an ideal site for glamping, fishing holidays, etc.
The property is set in a wonderful rural location, in a slightly elevated position with glorious far reaching views. There is a range of local amenities close by in Halwill Junction including a shop, Post Office, hairdresser and fish and chip shop. Further amenities including a Waitrose Supermarket can be found in Holsworthy and there is access onto the A30 dual carriageway at Okehampton. The property is also not far from the North Cornwall and Devonshire Coasts with the popular coastal resort of Bude nearby.
