LOCATION
The property is situated in an idyllic position, enjoying breath-taking panoramic views over unspoilt countryside and out to sea with the Welsh coast in the distance. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), the property enjoys a tranquil position within two and a half miles of the village of Hartland, which has a thriving community and an excellent range of amenities including cafes, local shops, Post Office, pubs and a restaurant, medical centre and a primary school.
The area is renowned for its stunning coastal walks and breath-taking coves, as well as popular beauty spots including Clovelly, Welcombe Mouth, Bucks Mills, with local attractions including Hartland Abbey and Hartland Quay. There are also safe and sandy beaches within easy reach at Bude and Westward Ho!, the latter of which adjoins the Northam Burrows Country Park and the Royal North Devon Golf Club.
The regional towns of Bideford (12 miles) and Bude (17 miles) offer a more comprehensive range of amenities including schooling for all ages, banks, supermarkets and other amenities. The regional centre of Barnstaple is around 20 miles away, and offers all the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues.
DESCRIPTION
Stunning sea views and light and bright versatile accommodation can be found in this large semi-detached period farmhouse. The property could easily be divided in half, to provide two separate living accommodations for dual family occupancy or holiday letting opportunities.
This characterful property was also once a successful bed and breakfast with 3 of the 6 bedrooms enjoying en-suite shower rooms. The property briefly comprises entrance hall, living room/dining room, sitting room, kitchen/breakfast room, rear porch, utility room, downstairs bathroom, bedroom 6/study and access in to the attached workshop.
On the first floor, accessed from the entrance hall, are two en-suite double bedrooms, family bathroom and further double bedroom.
From the stairs in the kitchen on the first floor, both bedrooms look towards the sea with stunning views of the coastline and one more being en-suite. There is also a door through this double bedroom back to other first floor landing.
Outside the property is approached via a five bar gate with generous private driveway with ample parking spaces for several vehicles. Due to the split up and sale of the original farmstead, you approach the property from the rear, with the front now benefitting from an enclosed courtyard garden. The other side of the driveway is a private lawn garden with spectacular views of the coast and useful large storage building.
Due to its versatility the property is certain to generate high interest with early viewing highly recommended.

Property information from this agent
Places of interest
Kivells can be traced back to 1885 when William Thomas Kivell set himself up in business as an auctioneer and land agent, first in Pyworthy and then in Holsworthy. What follows is an account of the Kivell family over four generations in the development of the firm of Kivells, from its origins as a one-man business in the late nineteenth century to its position today as one of the leading firms of Auctioneers, property agents and chartered surveyors in the West Country. William Kivell went on to grow the business and was joined by his sons forming Kivell and Sons, selling farm property and holding livestock auctions. Kivells is a very different firm from that founded by William Thomas Kivell in 1885, however the nature of the business and its ethics remain the same all be it with a much larger area of operation. The firm has recently became a limited company with one of the five directors being David Kivell, a great-grandson of William Kivell. It is organised around five divisions:- Agricultural sales and auctions (including the 3 livestock markets at Holsworthy, Hallworthy and Exeter and on farm sales throughout the Westcountry). Farm, Residential and Commercial Property (covering sales, auctions and lettings). Professional and Valuation work (including surveys, property management, rent reviews and full project management) Machinery and Heritage department (specialise in the sale of steam engines and all manner of vehicles, agricultural and domestic bygones). Kivells now operate from 5 main offices (Exeter, Holsworthy, Launceston, Liskeard and Bude) and 3 market centres (Holsworthy, Exeter and Hallworthy) and the firm employs around 170 full and part-time staff.
