Cleave Farm
Nestled a short distance from the banks of the River Torridge, Cleave Farm is oozing with charm and character. This grade II listed building is stone built, with tiled roof and white smooth render and offers a large garden and parking.
Entering the property you are greeted with an impressive hallway which gives a feeling of comfort and space due to its particularly wide corridor and ample ceiling height.
To the left of hallway is the generous living room which is dominated by a wonderful, inglenook fireplace and is complimented by a wood burner, ideal for those cosy winter evenings, when the weather is not so kind outside, with character oak wooden beams and wood effect flooring. This room offers fine views across the front garden and towards the River Torridge and beyond.
Moving through the hallway there are stairs that sweep up to the right, with a door that leads to the dining room and which benefits from a storage cupboard and rear facing window, with plenty of space for sizeable furniture.
There is a downstairs cloakroom and kitchen / breakfast room again awash with character and it has the added feature of a gas fire, with a very rare example of an original bread oven set into the chimney breast. There are also stable doors that give access to the side of the property.
The kitchen is fitted with attractive shaker style wall base and drawer units of a high specification with a one and half bowl sink and drainer, space for a cooker and under counter washing machine and dishwasher. There is also ample space for a breakfast table and chairs and there is a useful window seat.
Venturing upstairs the first-floor galleried landing gives access to four double bedrooms. The master bedroom sits to the front of the property with the added bonus of superb river views which can be enjoyed from the comfortable window seat and which also benefits from an en-suite shower room. Bedroom two is a fantastic room with an unusual double height vaulted ceiling with en-suite facilities, whilst bedrooms three and four are also double in size and served by the family bathroom ,bedroom four also has a window seat.
To the front of the property is a five-bar wooden gate, with shingled pea gravelled driveway and allows parking for three / four vehicles. There is an arched trellis and flagged pathway passing the manicured lawn which is some 60 ft in length and continues to the front door. A raised- patio and seating area sits to the left of the building which offers the wonderful opportunity of alfresco dining and a viewing vista over the ever-changing river tides.
