Derriton,
Holsworthy, EX22 6JX

An exceptional detached former farmhouse, beautifully presented and sympathetically modernised, set within approximately 0.89 acres of mature grounds in the peaceful rural hamlet of Derriton, just a short distance from the sought-after Devon market town of Holsworthy. Combining period charm with contemporary comfort, this impressive residence is understood to have originally been built as a farmstead for the former Tetcott Estate during the late 17th century and is believed to have, at one stage in its history, comprised two separate cottages. Today, the property retains a wealth of original character features whilst offering versatile and spacious accommodation ideally suited to modern family living. Importantly, the property is not listed.

The accommodation briefly comprises an inviting entrance hall with cloakroom, leading to a magnificent family kitchen and dining room, thoughtfully designed as the heart of the home. With a recess for a range cooker, the space also offers ample room for dining and relaxation, centred around an attractive fireplace with a fitted wood-burning stove. A charming dining room/snug and inner lobby with staircase enhance the flexibility of the layout, creating an ideal arrangement for multi-generational living, guest accommodation or potential holiday letting, subject to any necessary consents.

Further accommodation includes an additional kitchen/utility room and a substantial triple-aspect sitting room with bifold doors and a fitted wood burner, enjoying wonderful natural light and garden views.

The Master suite features a generous bedroom with en-suite bathroom, whilst a second landing serves three further double bedrooms, including one with en-suite shower room, in addition to a stylish family bath and shower room. The property further benefits from predominantly double glazed windows and modern oil-fired central heating throughout.

The area is currently arranged as a combination of formal gardens and a small paddock, with a range of useful outbuildings that include a large store shed, summerhouse and greenhouse. In addition,there is a substantial detached outbuilding, at present used as a games room/ garden room, which is accessed via its own gated driveway from the public lane. This building may offer exciting development potential, subject to the necessary planning permissions.

The land offers an excellent opportunity for those looking to grow their own produce, whilst equally appealing to those looking to enjoy a stunning, large garden.
