The property features attractive stone elevations with a wealth of character details inside including an original open fireplace, exposed timber beams and flagstone flooring.

The upstairs accommodation has been beautifully refurbished and offers four en suite bedrooms and further benefits include a self-contained apartment, a beautiful, landscaped garden and an outbuilding with planning permission to demolish and build a small, detached house.

The owners currently run a restaurant and bar (open for limited hours only – about 16 hours a week) which is very well-regarded with numerous 5 star customer reviews.

The property provides an excellent opportunity for the continued part commercial use together with well-appointed on-site accommodation offering significant income potential or, in the alternative, as a large (circa 4,000 sq ft) unique home with large private bar and dining/recreational space.

The main ground floor area, which is currently in commercial use, has a welcoming bar with an impressive brick built open fireplace and a 25ft bar with stone cladding. The restaurant and bar is essentially in three areas which can provide up to c.40 covers and there is also a ground floor “cellar” and a large commercial kitchen with stainless steel fittings and appliances.

There is a ground floor self contained apartment, with an open-plan kitchen, dining room and sitting room, a modern fitted kitchen with integrated appliances, one double bedroom and a shower room. French doors lead from the living area onto a private courtyard patio area.

Upstairs, the principal living accommodation comprises a comfortable sitting room, a kitchen with all the necessary appliances and a dining room with dual French doors opening onto the private south-facing roof terrace.

There are three double bedrooms all with en suite facilities whilst on the second floor there is the principal bedroom suite with a luxury shower room, skylights and a large west facing dormer window providing a wealth of natural light and distant views to the Atlantic coast.

(N.B. The first floor could provide letting accommodation as two of the bedroom suites can be accessed independently via an external staircase with a code controlled side gate.)

Outside

At the front of the premises there is off-street parking and access to the detached garage and store which has planning permission granted for the demolition and reconstruction of a small detached dwelling providing an independent development opportunity separate from the main property. (The planning history can be viewed on the Torridge Council planning portal under reference 1/0507/2023/FUL and it is to be noted that this garage/store can be sold off separately from, and is not necessarily tied to, the main building). At the rear there is a beautiful, landscaped garden with gravel terracing and raised border beds, as well as a covered barbecue area with a wood-fired pizza oven.
