Description - This substantial individual detached character residence presents mainly painted rendered and stone elevations with double glazed windows beneath a slate roof which was replaced in 2013 (when the solar panels were also added and new boiler installed). The well presented accommodation, which is arranged over 3 storeys, retains original features which sit well with 21st century refinements. The current vendors have lived at the property for over 33 years and operated it as a bed and breakfast establishment but are now retiring and have obtained planning consent under Exmoor National Park planning reference 62/41/19/012 for change of use of guest house (use class C1) to residential dwelling (use class C3) this was decided on the 10th June 2019 and expires on 9th June 2022. It is our understanding that the property can therefore be used either as a guest house or principal residence but planning conditions particularly state for the avoidance of doubt the dwelling will not be occupied as a second home or for use as a unit of holiday letting accommodation. Externally there is ample off road parking, a detached garage/workshop and well tended south facing gardens of good size.
