Property description
This 5 bedroom period property is located in the heart of Hemyock, a most beautiful and charming Devon village, benefitting from plenty of local amenities and its own castle. Dating back to around 1800, the property is characterful and has many period features, as well as a lovely west-facing private rear garden.
Whilst the property is currently used for bed and breakfast, the current vendor has previously run a successful cafe within the flexible ground floor accommodation. The house would equally work as a family home with the potential for an annex, subject to the necessary planning consents.
To fully appreciate this beautiful home, internal viewing is highly recommended.
