Situation And Amenities - Southfield lies on the southern edge of the village of Horwood in glorious rural surroundings yet is within easy reach of Barnstaple and Bideford and the North Devon coast.
Horwood has an ancient Church and nearby Lovacott has a Primary School about 1 mile from the property. Newton Tracey is 2 miles away with the Hunters Inn and restaurant.
The town of Barnstaple lies approximately 6 miles to the north-east and is the area's main shopping, business and commercial hub with access to the A361 North Devon Link Road and also a railway station with services to Exeter along the picturesque Tarka Line. The former port town of Bideford is within 6 miles and lies on the banks of the River Torridge.
The sandy north Devon beaches at Instow, Putsborough, Saunton, Croyde and Woolacombe are all within easy reach.
Description - Originally built in 1989, Southfield has painted rendered elevations with double glazed windows beneath a tiled roof. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and is both spacious and versatile. There is also potential to adapt the accommodation to provide for dual occupation.
On the ground floor an ENTRANCE HALL provides access to a very large LIVING / DINING ROOM off which there is a CONSERVATORY. There is also a large well-appointed open plan KITCHEN / BREAKFAST ROOM and directly off this is another large room currently utilised as an OFFICE but suitable as further reception room or fourth bedroom. The UTILITY ROOM is possibly suitable for adaptation to a second kitchen and there is a door to outside. There is also a SHOWER ROOM with shower cubicle, WC, basin.
On the first floor there are THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a STUDY/STORAGE AREA.
Gardens And Land - There is plenty of parking and a TIMBER STABLE building to the rear which provides boxes for 6 horses and a TACK ROOM. There is a SAND SCHOOL which measures approximately 50M x 25M.
The land lies to the south and west of the farmstead and is mainly down to grass with a south-facing aspect.
Mobile Home - There is a mobile home (2 bedrooms) with its own separate access. The seller may apply for a Certificate of Lawfulness for the continued siting of the mobile home as we understand that the unit has been in continuous occupation for over 10 years. This separate unit of accommodation has potential to be rented out to provide an additional income.
Services - Main water and electricity are connected. Private drainage. Oil fired central heating. According to OFCOM ultrafast broadband is available and mobile phone signal coverage inside the home is limited with the O2 service coverage being marked as 'likely'.

Planning History & Current Planning - Southfield has an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (AOC). The occupation of the dwelling is currently limited to a person solely or mainly employed, or last employed, in the locality in agriculture as defined in section 290(1) in the Town and Country Planning Act 1971 or in forestry (including any dependants as such a person residing within) or a widow or widower of such a person.
The vendors own other nearby components of the former larger farm. They have already obtained consent for conversion of two modern detached barns in the adjacent former farmyard, one of these has been sold off, is developed and inhabited. The other is now subject to a revised application, currently being processed, where the intention is to demolish the existing barn and sell off the remaining part of the farmyard for development of three new detached open market houses. Accordingly, the former farmyard is likely to be improved considerably when the development is completed.
Directions - At Roundswell roundabout take the first exit on the B3232 towards Torrington and continue for approximately 2.7 miles. Once you reach the outskirts of Newton Tracey take the first right sign posted Lovacott/Horwood. Continue for approximately 1.5 miles. Just before the Church bear left signed posted Ashridge/Torrington follow the lane and Southfield is found on the right after about 1/3rd of a mile.
