House For Sale £600,000
Long-established writers' retreat/holiday let business offers home + income with scope for expansion in idyllic rural location.
A lifestyle home & business opportunity is presented by this stunning Grade II Listed 17th Century character cottage and grounds, which is currently run as a long-established and highly successful ‘Writers’ Retreat’ and holiday let. The vendor is keen to ensure the writers’ retreat continues as it has for the past 13 years, and there is scope to develop this further or add additional residential courses.
The highly versatile accommodation allows for further scope for expanding the business potential offering either an exciting commercial venture or the opportunity for home plus income. The large loft space could be converted into further accommodation, subject to the necessary planning consents. There is also a detached brick and stone barn to the rear which could, again subject to planning permission, provide further accommodation or a separate letting unit. Outline planning permission is in place to switch the property use to residential.
To the rear of the property is a generous private parking area and spacious courtyard garden - a lovely spot for outdoor dining or for guests to relax in a shady corner. In addition there is a further large lawned garden with flower and shrub borders beyond the barn and studio which offers a good degree of privacy and seclusion and views over the surrounding countryside.
The charming and picturesque village of Sheepwash is a popular destination for visitors - it sits in beautiful rolling countryside above the River Torridge which is renowned for its trout and salmon fishing. The Half Moon Inn attracts locals and visitors alike and is located steps away on the opposite side of the village square.
There is a great sense of community within the village, including support of the community-run general store. The nearby towns of Hatherleigh, Holsworthy & Okehampton offer a wider range of local amenities and the north coast with its beautiful beaches and spectacular coastal walks is only a 30-35 minute drive away. The A30 corridor and the plethora of outdoor pursuits offered by Dartmoor National Park are easily accessible by car.
