Property description
Auction Date Change! For Sale by Public Auction (unless sold prior) on Friday 2nd October 2015 at The Rydon Inn, Holsworthy at 3pm. A three bedroom, three reception room detached farmhouse with a two bedroom Annex. Set on a plot extending to approximately one acre with a range of outbuildings and a delightful garden with a wooded aspect. There is further land to the side and rear extending to approximately 10 acres. This detached farmhouse could do with updating and modernisation but it would then provide a comfortable, spacious, family home. The adjoining annex could be incorporated into the existing accommodation, or be used as a Granny/Teenage Annex or for holiday letting. The property still retains some original features to include beams and an open fireplace in the sitting room with its bread oven intact. Externally the property has a dilapidated cob barn, which could be converted into further holiday letting accommodation (subject to the necessary planning consents). There are further agricultural buildings to include an open barn, sheds and greenhouse.
