3 bedroom detached house for sale

Badges is real gem of a Devon cottage, with all the character features you would expect including slate flagstone flooring, a superb fireplace with a wood burner and exposed beams combined with modern 21st century living.

Fast 'Airband' broadband is connected, there is oil fired central heating and UPVC double glazed windows throughout and the cottage has been vastly improved over the past few years, with a modern roof and external rendering.

Internally, the beautiful garden room is lovely and light, with a practical tiled floor, a southerly aspect and has good views over the adjoining field and countryside beyond. This opens nicely into the modern, spacious kitchen/dining room which is a great sociable family space with a range of matching units with an integral fridge/freezer and the LPG Range is included in the sale.

The sitting room forms part of the original cottage and has very different 'feel' with slate flagstones, beam ceiling and has a wood burning stove set in the fireplace, as its focal point. Additionally, the ground floor has a useful utility room, bathroom, boiler room and study, which has character features and could be easily opened up to create a larger living space, if required.

On the first floor, off its own staircase, the master bedroom features an en-suite and a balcony. The balcony is a stunning spot for a coffee enjoying the morning sun, overlooking your land, with views towards surrounding countryside. Being separate from the other bedrooms, this room could be ideal for a dependant relative or for an independent teenager.

The second bedroom is actually the largest double bedroom which benefits from an en-suite w/c, and the good-sized single third bedroom, are both accessed via the second staircase.

Offered with no onward chain, Badges is a superb lifestyle opportunity in the very west of Devon, with easy access from the cottage to the outbuildings and land.

The key selling factor is the outside space and the lifestyle and potential it creates.

The cottage is being sold with just over 67 acres of ground with large, level or gently sloping fields with natural hedge boundaries. There is approximately 5 acres of woodland which feature ancient oak trees, fuel to supply the wood burning stove and has a herd of deer using it as their home.

A natural water course (well away from the property so no flood risk) runs through the land and there is easy access to it, from both the cottage and the range of outbuildings, with separate gated access from the quiet road.

The opportunity to farm the land traditionally, as a hobby farm, is ideal although any buyer looking for a conservation or rewilding project would also find Badges well worthy of their interest. Currently, our clients has the land fully managed so there are options dependent on how ‘hands on’ a buyer wants to be.

The outbuildings are numerous and include; a former SHIPPON - 31'7" x 15' (9.63m x 4.57m) with potential to convert subject to any necessary consent, a DAIRY - 9'6" x 7' (2.9m x 2.13m), POLE BARN - 47' x 36'6" (14.33m x 11.13m), STORE SHED - 24' x 13'6" (7.32m x 4.11m) and a modern multi-use BARN - 45' x 40' (13.72m x 12.2m).

The cottage has gardens mainly laid to lawn, with a gravelled driveway providing ample parking/turning and access to the double garage, with an area beyond the garage that is used as a kitchen garden and orchard, with two greenhouses.

The property lies within three miles of the historic market town of Holsworthy in delightful Devon countryside close to the village of Clawton, which has a county primary school and parish church. Holsworthy features both primary and secondary schools, a range of independent and national shops and businesses, medical centre and dentists, leisure centre and a Waitrose supermarket.

Bude, its canal, sandy beaches and the stunning coastline are just over 12 miles away.

The larger cities of Exeter at around 45 miles distant, Plymouth 38 miles distant and the North Devon regional centre of Barnstaple within approximately 30 miles all offer a wider range of educational, cultural and leisure facilities.

At Launceston, which is some 12.5 miles, the A30 dual carriageway provides access to the Main A30 trunk road leading to Exeter and the M5 and, in the other direction, towards Truro and the rest of Cornwall.
