- 2 generous reception rooms, both with inglenook fireplaces
- Over 2,000sqft in terms of internal size, plus the barns

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this beautiful, double fronted, 6 bedroom plus study (or 5 bedrooms with 2 work from home offices) detached farmhouse lies in a quiet, rural hamlet, close to the West Devon border and is within easy reach of the north Cornish coastline and beaches.
The south-easterly facing, well stocked gardens offer complete privacy, featuring numerous sitting areas to enjoy the sunshine, with ample parking on the gravelled driveway. The single-storey barn has huge potential, subject to consents, to be converted into an annexe, holiday let, studio or bespoke work from home offices.
A true rural gem of a farmhouse, enjoying the best of both worlds; an abundance of character from the locally sourced stone external elevations to the inglenook fireplaces, exposed stone work and slate floors but with modern benefits including impressive kitchen/bathroom facilities, recently installed EcoDesign wood burning stoves and modern electric heating which can be controlled via your phone.
The porch and hallway, with a slate floor, provide access to the rest of the accommodation. There are 2 gorgeous reception rooms; a living room and a formal dining room. Both of these rooms offer plenty of space, with an exposed inglenook fireplace as their focal point, fitted with the aforementioned wood burning stoves.
A door from the dining room leads into a Upvc and local stone garden room. This relaxing, sociable space has lovely views over the garden, which can be enjoyed throughout the year.
To the rear, the modern kitchen/breakfast room has a range of matching units and opens into what is currently a sitting area, but could be utilised as a breakfasting area, with patio doors opening onto a tucked way patio.
The office or snug leads to a useful ground floor bathroom, a utility room and bedroom 6, which is used a second work from home office. Having this flexibility is one of the key selling features, as this creates the opportunity for a real change of lifestyle, and was a big factor in our clients choosing Coles Brendon House as their home.
On the first floor, the pretty landing leads to three bedrooms and the rear hall. Bedroom 1 has an exposed. stone chimney breast with a fireplace recess, 2 large double wardrobes and an impressive en-suite shower room w/c.
The second bedroom has a similar exposed stone chimney breast and recess, and all the southerly aspect bedrooms offer far reaching countryside views, with Dartmoor in the distance.
There are 2 further well-proportioned bedrooms and a modern family shower room w/c completing the accommodation.
The single storey barn, built with the same locally sourced stone, lies adjacent to the main dwelling, and is currently used for secure storage. Subject to planning and consent, there is potential to convert to a studio, holiday let, family annexe or a bespoke work from home office.
The gravelled drive, set behind double gates, offers parking with, opposite, a gravelled car park enabling a further 3 cars to park. The landscaped gardens are a joy to behold. Private and south-easterly facing, there are multiple sitting areas or patios to enjoy the sunshine at different times of the day. The circular patio, bordered by a small pond and well stocked flowerbeds, is ideal spot for al-fresco dining, with easy access to the property. The expanse of lawn is surrounded by mature hedging and colourful planting providing that feeling of being in your very own rural haven.
Location

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
