The village of Woolsery (Woolfardisworthy) is around a 6 mile drive with an excellent range of amenities including primary school, local shop/Post Office, garage, church, sports and community hall, pub and restaurant and fish and chip shop. In 2015, the village became famous worldwide after a Californian based Internet entrepreneur with family links to the village purchased the derelict village pub which is now a brilliant gastro pub and the manor house, which they are currently in the process of renovating. Only 3 miles away is Tamar Lakes which offers fishing and water sports.
The Cornish border is also in close proximity with the town of Bude and the excellent sandy beaches of Widemouth bay and Sandymouth only 11 miles away.

The detached 3-bedroom holiday barn conversion is deceptively spacious, full of character, very well presented and is currently being run as a successful holiday let. Externally, the property boasts extensive and beautiful gardens, ample parking and various outbuildings which could have potential to convert into additional accommodation (subject to planning) The property all together sits in approximately 16 acres of land.

As you enter you are welcomed by an open and light entrance hall with access to the WC, boot room, cellar and useful sewing/hobby room. The lovely open plan living/dining room which acts as the real hub of the home includes solid oak engineered flooring flowing throughout, wood burner and lovely views to the garden. The superb garden room can be accessed from here and is a lovely space to sit and relax with direct access to the garden. There is also the elegant sitting room which forms part of the original part of the house and adjacent is the kitchen/breakfast room which comprises a good range of higher and lower units, integrated dishwasher, inset Franke sink and Leisure gas stove with extractor above. Off from this is a useful utility/boot room again with access to outside and WC.

There is also an attached former barn which has been converted to an home office/study with direct access to the garden. This could be reintroduced to the main house.

Outside - The property is approached by a long sweeping drive which leads you to the house, holiday let and outbuildings with ample parking for both properties. The gardens which surround the main house are private, peaceful and have been a real labour of love for the current owners. Immaculately presented and well designed, the gardens offer a range of different areas, each having their own sense of calm. The main garden includes a large area of well-tended lawn, a fabulous decked and paved terrace on the south facing front of the property and a pretty well stocked pond, all surrounded by an assortment of plants, shrubs and trees.
