An outstanding opportunity to purchase a successful and multi award-winning self-catering holiday complex situated in a unique position within the stunning scenery of both the South Hams and Dartmoor National Park.

Introduction - A highly successful, recently refurbished, holiday complex with detached farmhouse, lying between Dartmoor National Park and the glorious South Hams with stunning views.

The property has recently been subject to a refurbishment programme and an overhaul of the business and now attracts significant business turnover with the vast majority from direct bookings. This provides the enviable opportunity to step into a successful business generating significant cashflow and forward bookings from day one.

The accommodation has been cleverly promoted via social media, news media and awards promotions as well as an excellent website and now attracts a wide range of guests from large groups to couples and, in particular, the retreat market.

This property gives the chance of an excellent home with significant income attached and the opportunity to connect in a multitude of ways with the stunning surrounding countryside and coastline of the area.

Situation - The property lies in an elevated position just outside Ivybridge and within the Dartmoor National Park. Whilst enjoying a tucked away location with fields adjoining, excellent access is available to road, rail networks as well as shopping and commercial/schooling facilities.

Ivybridge, just 2 miles away, provides a mainline rail station to London Paddington (direct in 3 hours) as well as a good range of local shops, supermarkets and schooling.

The A38 Devon Expressway is just 2 miles, also connecting to the M5 at Exeter and in the other direction, leading down to the delights of Cornwall.

The south coast is just 12 miles, with resorts such as Bigbury-on-Sea, with its famous offshore neighbour, Burgh Island, as well as Salcombe, Kingsbridge and Dartmouth within the area. Walkers will note there are multiple exceptional footpaths in close proximity including the South West Coastal Path and the Two Moors Way.

The Farmhouse - A late Victorian stone and brick house which has been recently improved. The house enjoys outstanding views from some of the front facing windows and has a traditional layout of accommodation briefly comprising, enclosed entrance porch leading to a central hall with staircase. A sitting room lies to the front with sliding glazed doors to a further reception/study beyond. The dining room is also off the hallway to the front. Towards the rear a utility room provides large built-in cupboards and plumbing for washing machine and a cloakroom is accessed from the hall with WC. A rear hall provides rear/garden access and a cloaks space. Beyond this is the kitchen/breakfast room which overlooks the garden.

A separate annex is located to the rear of the kitchen with external access and provides a single room requiring some updating with kitchen space and an en-suite shower room adjoining. This could provide potential for a small self-contained studio for occupation or other uses subject to permissions required.

Upstairs are three bedrooms and a large luxury family bathroom with bath, two wash hand basins, WC and separate shower.

Further facilities provided on site enhance this with a large multi-function room providing a yoga studio/meeting space/games room as well as a drying room (very handy for winter moorland walkers or wetsuits in the summer!) and a laundry. Basic accounts can be made available to bona fide potential purchasers following a viewing. Superfast wi-fi is available across all the cottages and the farmhouse.

Gardens, Outbuildings And Land - The property comprises 2.44 acres in all and has varied areas providing a range of opportunities and environments. The gardens surround the farmhouse and are laid mainly to lawn, with a patio in front of the kitchen. Within this area is a small orchard.

Beyond this are two small paddocks and a small donkey/goat stable.

This is the perfect spot to sit with the best views on site all the way to the south coast. Redundant piggery buildings could provide further opportunities, subject to planning consent.
