5 bedroom detached house for sale

Trew Farmhouse is a substantial 5 Bedroom detached property occupying a truly secluded position with no immediate neighbours, set within approximately 12 acres of picturesque grounds. Situated near the desirable village of Woolsery, this property offers extensive accommodation, including 2 attractive holiday letting cottages, multiple traditional and modern outbuildings that are ripe for conversion or alternative usage, and beautiful far-reaching countryside views stretching as far as Dartmoor on clear days.

Two charming holiday cottages, recently updated by the current owners, already provide income potential, while several traditional stone barns offer ample scope for further accommodation or even glamping opportunities.

The farmhouse, itself, requires modernisation to reach its full potential. The spacious Kitchen / Diner, partly renovated, includes 3 Velux roof lights, fitted cupboards, space for a dishwasher and fridge freezer, and features a 7-ring Belling cooker included in the sale.

Clovelly is North Devon’s most famous location. Even members of the most Amazonian tribes have an Auntie that visited Clovelly and rode a donkey up one of its steep streets called Up Along and Down Along.

One of the most picturesque villages in the whole country, Clovelly doubles as a working village and fishing harbour, as well as a very successful tourist attraction. It hangs on a 400ft cliff less than five minutes drive from the main road. Follow the Atlantic Highway (A39) from Bideford towards Hartland and Bude. Turn right at Clovelly Cross Garage, this is Higher Clovelly and the road winds down, down past Clovelly Court, the ancient manor house of the estate, and the parish church of All Saints which dates mainly from the 13th century. The author Charles Kingsley lived here as a child over 150 years ago. He returned here to write the novel Westward Ho! and find inspiration for The Water Babies.

The village is well served by the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy, Great Torrington, Hartland and Ilfracombe.

Directions
From the A39 Heywood Road roundabout at Bideford, head west towards Bude.

Pass between 2 farms and, at the fork, bear right following signs for Trew Farmhouse and Trew View. Continue along this lane until reaching the property.
