Situation
Bidbrook Farmhouse is set in a pleasant, south-facing rural setting in the Yeo Valley about 2.5 miles from the village of Molland with its village hall and pub, The London Inn. The local market town of South Molton is about 8 miles and offers an excellent range of shops and and amenities including schooling to secondary level and weekly pannier and stock markets. The town is bypassed by the A361 North Devon Link Road which provides an excellent link to the North Devon regional centre of Barnstaple to the west and Tiverton and the M5 (Junction 27) to the east. There is a main line railway station at Tiverton Parkway with an intercity service to London Paddington (around 2 hours).
The boundary of Exmoor National Park is about 2.5 miles and the renowned North Devon coastline and some of the best beaches in the country at Croyde, Saunton Sands and Woolacombe is also within easy reach by car.
Description
Bidbrook Farmhouse is a period property of stone and cob construction under a tiled roof and is believed to have originally been two cottages. Although the house is not listed, the house has plenty of character features typical of its age but it does require complete modernisation throughout.
There is a useful range of buildings that despite requiring some remedial work do offer plenty of potential and a stream bordered paddock.
Accommodation
An open PORCH has a door into the kitchen and into a UTILITY/LOBBY with plumbing for washing machine, under-stairs cupboard and door into a CLOAKROOM with WC. The KITCHEN is fitted with a range of matching units with ceramic sink, spaces for fridge, dish washer and range style cooker. Off the kitchen is a useful DAIRY with shelving and plenty of space for white goods.
The LIVING ROOM has exposed beams and recessed seating to the left hand side of an inglenook fireplace which has an oil-fired Rayburn. There is a front door off the living room and a useful STORE ROOM. The DINING ROOM has a tiled fireplace, believed to conceal a much larger fireplace behind it and off this room is a useful storage LOBBY.
On the FIRST FLOOR there is a LANDING with a deep airing cupboard and THREE DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a BOX ROOM, together with a BATHROOM and a separate CLOAKROOM.
Outside
The property is approached off the country lane via a wide, timber five-bar double gated entrance. There is a large parking area and there is a useful former SHIPPON (27' x 13'10 ). To the rear of the house is a dilapidated stone and tiled roof BUILDING and adjoining the rear of the house is a useful WORKSHOP which also offers potential to extend the existing accommodation.
There is a front garden, mainly laid to lawn, whilst to the rear is a large vegetable garden.
Set to the other side of the parking area is a stream-bordered PADDOCK with the whole property extending to about 1.35 ACRES.
