Description

An exceptional opportunity to acquire this impressive equestrian property, set within a picturesque rural location yet conveniently positioned just 5 miles from the thriving market town of Holsworthy. The town offers a comprehensive range of amenities, including primary and secondary schooling, a well-regarded golf club, and a selection of shops including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer Foodhall.

The residence provides spacious and highly versatile accommodation, comprising three generous double bedrooms, each enjoying delightful views over the surrounding Devon countryside and the property’s land. There are two well-proportioned reception rooms, along with a superb family kitchen/dining room, complemented by a useful utility room and integral garage. Planning permission has been granted to remodel and extend the property, offering the potential to create an additional en-suite bedroom if required.

The equestrian facilities are of a high standard, featuring a fibre and sand riding arena with a surrounding bark turnout area, alongside a modern stable block incorporating three loose boxes, a feed store, wash bay, and adjoining tack room. The land extends to approximately 8 acres, predominantly laid to a large, gently sloping paddock that leads down to the River Waldon, where the property benefits from around 300 yards of single bank fishing rights. A further enclosed paddock is situated above the stable yard.

The stable yard itself benefits from its own private access, providing excellent access for lorries and horseboxes. To the rear of the stables is an additional turnout area with a woodchip surface, enclosed by post and rail fencing.

Offered to the market with no onward chain.

The residence is most conveniently located between the market towns of Holsworthy, Bideford and Torrington. These offer an excellent range of local/national shops, professional services, leisure amenities and schooling to secondary level. The nearby filling station/convenience store at Horrelsford also provides the day to day essentials. The regional North Devon's Centre of Barnstaple with its acclaimed shopping centre is about 45 minute drive and has a wider range of amenities and via the North Devon link road gives access to the M5 near Tiverton. This area of Devon is still largely unspoilt with the Rivers Waldon and Torridge meandering through rolling farmland. The nearby prestigious "Woodford Bridge Country Club" offers some of the finest leisure/sporting facilities in the region whilst the very popular farm shop, Lizzie's Larder, is within walking distance of the property. The spectacular North Devon/Cornwall Coast, Dartmoor and Exmoor are within easy driving distance, whilst the local rivers offer superb opportunities for the keen game fisherman.
