Property description
A rare opportunity to purchase a stunning property in need of renovation in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
Well Barn is believed to be one of the oldest properties in the village of Welcombe, dating back to the 1800’s.
A courtyard separates two properties where Well Barn is to the East of the courtyard.
With a generous plot of approximately 1 hectare of gardens, paddock and woodland, Well Barn has previously been used by a local trust as accommodation for courses in sustainable and creative living. I am advised by the current owners that the land has been organically kept for at least the last 30 years but without certification.
The property has two open plan barn areas on the ground floor that would be ideally converted into further living space (STP) and all of the current living accommodation is located on the first floor.
The property boasts three bedrooms, two of which being doubles, open plan kitchen dining room area with log burning stove which also heats the hot water, family bathroom with separate WC and large sitting room with exposed apex vaulted ceiling and space for log burning stove.
Well Barn occupies an unrivalled, private position on the North Devon coastline which is famed for its unspoilt landscape and spectacular coastal walks much of which is now under National Trust stewardship and in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Located in the heart of the pretty village of Welcombe which has a village community shop selling groceries and local produce as well a popular Inn named “The Old Smithy” which was a former blacksmiths. Approximately 1 mile is the picturesque beach of Welcombe Mouth which provides excellent surf and stunning vistas. Well Farm and Well Barn are accessed off the road to Welcombe Mouth by a private lane which is shared by the two properties.
The A39 is only 3 miles away and provides good access to the towns of Bideford, Bude and Barnstaple. It leads to the North Devon link road with the M5 connection near Tiverton.
