Holsworthy, EX22 6ST

A distinguished and characterful detached residence, discreetly positioned within a private setting on the fringes of the sought-after village of Pyworthy, offering an exceptional smallholding lifestyle extending to approximately 8.01 acres. Available with no onward chain, this charming period home presents a rare opportunity to embrace a more self-sufficient way of life, combining refined country living with versatile land, outbuildings, and a strong sense of rural community.

Occupying an enviable position at the end of a sweeping private driveway, the property enjoys a peaceful village setting with picturesque views across the parish Church and surrounding rolling countryside. The thriving market town of Holsworthy lies just 2.3 miles away, providing a comprehensive range of everyday amenities including a waitrose and M&S foodhall, whilst the popular coastal town of Bude, famed for its sandy beaches and dramatic coastline, is within easy reach at approximately 9.8 miles.

This impressive detached period home has been thoughtfully refurbished and sympathetically extended, resulting in a beautifully balanced residence that retains its inherent charm while offering contemporary comfort. Constructed in part from traditional cob and stone, the property is enhanced by stylish wooden double-glazed windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout.

The generously proportioned ground floor provides a versatile and welcoming layout, ideally suited to both family life and entertaining. A spacious sitting room and adjoining snug showcase an abundance of character, each centred around fireplaces with wood-burning stoves, creating cosy and intimate living spaces. At the heart of the home lies a superb open-plan kitchen and dining area, perfectly designed for modern country living, complete with a comprehensive range of units, central island, integrated appliances, and direct access to the gardens. A bright and airy garden room further enhances the accommodation, offering a tranquil setting to enjoy views over the grounds. Additional ground floor features include a utility room, two WCs, and a rear porch.

The first floor is accessed via two staircases, offering both flexibility and privacy. The principal staircase leads to four well-proportioned bedrooms, complemented by a family bathroom and separate shower room, while a secondary staircase rises to a private principal suite with vaulted ceiling, built-in storage, en-suite bathroom, and delightful views across the gardens, creating a peaceful retreat.

Approached via a private driveway, the property benefits from ample off-road parking, a double garage, and a useful store incorporating a back-up generator. The established gardens wrap gracefully around the house, affording a high degree of privacy and providing an idyllic setting for outdoor entertaining, relaxation, and enjoyment of the surrounding natural beauty.

Beyond the formal gardens, the property truly excels as a lifestyle smallholding. The grounds include a productive orchard, wildflower paddock, greenhouse, raised beds, and a well-equipped workshop with power, light, and additional storage above—ideal for those with horticultural, equestrian, or craft interests. Adjoining the gardens are gently sloping pasture paddocks, offering excellent potential for small-scale farming or livestock, while a further smaller paddock benefits from planning permission for a detached residence (Planning Reference: 1/0289/2025/REM), presenting exciting scope for future development.

Altogether, this is a rare and compelling opportunity to acquire a substantial village home with land, perfectly suited to those seeking a meaningful lifestyle change in a peaceful rural setting, yet within convenient reach of both local amenities and the North Devon and Cornish coastline.
