4 bed detached house for sale

Newton St. Petrock, Holsworthy, Devon EX22

Occupying an elevated and rural position, a short distance from the popular Market Town of Holsworthy, is this substantial four-bedroom family home, enjoying far-reaching views across the surrounding Devon countryside.

Having been in the same ownership for many years, the property now presents an exciting opportunity for those seeking a home with genuine potential. Requiring a programme of renovation and modernisation throughout, the house offers an excellent opportunity to create a superb country home, whilst retaining a wealth of original character and charm. The original property is believed to date from circa 1900, with a number of later extensions having been added over the years, creating a generous and versatile home that combines period features with the practicalities of modern living.

The ground floor provides a kitchen, large utility room and downstairs WC, together with a characterful dual-aspect dining room and spacious sitting room, centred around an attractive stone inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove. A separate study/office is positioned to the rear. On the first floor are four bedrooms and the family bathroom.

A particularly valuable feature is the substantial attached garage, workshop and storage area, which benefits from integral access to the main house. This provides excellent space for those requiring generous garaging, workshop or storage facilities, whilst also offering potential for alternative uses or additional accommodation, subject to the necessary consents.

The property occupies a generous plot of just under half an acre, with a driveway and extensive yard providing ample off-road parking, together with elevated gardens enjoying a good degree of privacy and bordered by a number of mature trees. The combination of its elevated position, generous grounds and peaceful rural setting makes this a particularly appealing proposition for those looking to create a home in the Devon countryside.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural property with considerable scope for improvement and enhancement, providing the incoming purchaser with the opportunity to transform the existing house into a highly desirable country home.

In the other direction is the market town of Holsworthy, close to the Cornish borders. Within a three and a half mile drive you can find yourself enjoying the locally renowned Tarka Trail a footpath/cycle way mainly built on the bed of a disused railway where all the gradients are gentle. It winds its way through some stunning woodland along the course of the River Torridge past Beam Weir, where Henry Williamson’s Tarka the Otter was born, from which the trail gains its name. It continues past Bideford and along the coast to Barnstaple where it splits and one leg turns inland again following the portion of the railway which is still in use the other continues on the bed of the disused railway and onto Ilfracombe. There are lots to do both regionally and locally.
