Contemporary house with pool and garden Marwood (United Kingdom)
Wild Winds represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional private lifestyle estate in one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal countryside settings. Extending to approximately 6,500 sq ft, this impressive six/seven-bedroom contemporary barn conversion combines outstanding scale, privacy and entertaining space with proven income potential, all within easy reach of the region’s renowned beaches. Currently operating as an established luxury holiday letting business, with trading figures available on request, Wild Winds offers considerably more than a substantial private residence. It presents a compelling lifestyle and investment opportunity, appealing equally to those seeking a landmark family home, a coastal retreat with income or a distinctive property from which to build a successful hospitality business. The property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately three acres, enjoying sweeping views across the surrounding countryside towards the sea beyond. The grounds provide excellent privacy, generous space for outdoor entertaining and the potential for equestrian use, creating a wonderfully secluded setting in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the North Devon lifestyle. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for contemporary luxury living. At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, creating an impressive yet welcoming environment for family life, entertaining and holiday guests. Expansive proportions, high-quality finishes and carefully considered design combine to create a home of genuine presence and distinction. The first floor features a superb principal suite with its own private terrace, providing an idyllic retreat from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape and coastal views. The remaining bedrooms are equally well appointed, with five ensuite facilities supporting both comfortable family living and the property’s successful operation as a luxury holiday let. Further accommodation includes a dedicated playroom and a flexible media and playroom with a wall-mounted television, offering excellent potential to create a dedicated home cinema. These versatile spaces reinforce Wild Winds’ appeal as a property designed for relaxation, entertainment and memorable stays, while allowing future owners to adapt the accommodation to suit their own requirements. An Exceptional Additional Opportunity Available by separate negotiation is a neighbouring barn benefiting from planning permission for a further substantial contemporary conversion of approximately 7,500 sq ft, subject to confirmation from the approved plans. The consent is understood to have been secured under previous Class Q regulations and represents an increasingly rare and valuable planning asset, with comparable permissions likely to be considerably more difficult to obtain under current regulations. Importantly, the neighbouring barn is not included within the principal sale of Wild Winds and its approximately three acres. Instead, it provides an additional opportunity for a purchaser wishing to create the ultimate private estate, develop a second substantial residence, establish further guest accommodation or explore a wider commercial proposition, subject to the relevant consents and individual requirements. Additional adjoining land may also be available by separate negotiation, further enhancing the flexibility and long-term potential of the wider estate. Wild Winds is therefore not simply a large coastal home. It is a highly unusual and versatile proposition: a private country estate, a luxury entertaining house, a proven holiday letting business and, for those wishing to expand, an opportunity to acquire a neighbouring development project of exceptional scale and rarity. Opportunities offering this combination of lifestyle, income, privacy and future potential are seldom available in the North Devon market.

At the front there is plenty of gravel parking and before entering through the fine oak front door, turn around and just take in the surrounds - it is quite special. Coming in through the front doorway, the dining hall really sets the tone for the old part of the house, with its impressive stone fireplace with inset log burner, original bread oven, stone paved flooring and exposed beams with decorative inserts. A honey oak church style door leads into a fine drawing room with its wonderful oak plank flooring, impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner and a strategically placed window seat overlooking the front. Leading on from here is the dining room with a slate paved floor and a door opening into a cellar room, ideal for wine storage. Over more recent times, the property has been cleverly extended with an amazing contemporary build incorporating honeyed oak plank flooring and floor to ceiling glass in an oak frame gable, looking out onto the landscaped gardens beyond. This ‘L’ shaped room with the kitchen to one end allows for zoned living areas, as here, with sofas and chair in the gable end, optimising the view and natural light, plus an eating area with ample room for a table and chairs. In addition to the underfloor heating, there is a modern log effect gas fire set in a fine stone fireplace, linking the two areas together. The Chalon kitchen with Miele and Franke appliances offers a plethora of polished granite work surfaces with storage and wall units and a large central island with solid maple top. Sitting along one wall is an impressive range of cooking ware that would satisfy most keen cooks who enjoy entertaining, with a 4 oven Aga and warming plate, and an Aga range cooker with 5 gas rings and 3 electric ovens. The large central island unit with lighting, power points and pan hooks above doubles up as a social bistro counter as well as food prep station. Beyond the kitchen is a conservatory/ garden room which overlooks the substantial terrace outside, down to the river below. On the opposite end of the kitchen is a utility room with an extensive range of cupboards and appliance space, with a door leading out to yet another terrace. It is very unusual to see an extension like this blending with such a period property, but it works ever so well. Staircases are found either end of the older part of the house. Taking the one from the drawing room, a very useful cloakroom is found, before taking the stairs to the first floor. The first bedroom on this side is a wonderful room with plenty of honeyed oak, exposed beams and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in electric shower and separate bath. This room has a double aspect, enjoying views to the south and east. Off the small landing, paddle steps lead to a boarded attic space with light, power and heating. A door also opens into the main bedroom which has a wonderful, planked flooring, high ceiling with an incredible grapevine frieze and plenty of room for free standing furniture. A few steps lead down into a stylish ensuite. From here, the main landing leads to a second set of paddle steps up to a further carpeted attic room, and further accommodation. There is a contemporary shower room and two further bedrooms overlooking the front, one of which is understood to have been consecrated as a small chapel by the Bishop of Wells in 1710 as outlined in the records of the Church of Exbourne. Before heading down the second set of stairs, you come to the galleried library/ music room and study formed from the extension. It is an extraordinary space, full of light with views over the gardens and down to the river. In former years this was all used as a main bedroom with ensuite, but this works very well for our current client as a quiet, reflective space, yet still connected to the family room downstairs via the gallery. DAIRY BARN This former dairy provides for open plan living downstairs, with wood flooring, a modern log burner at the raised sitting room end and at the other end a well appointed kitchen with bistro bar makes a sociable casual entertaining area. A wrought iron spiral staircase leads to a galleried landing with bedrooms at either end. One is a good double with a modern ensuite shower room. The other is significantly larger, currently set up with both bunks and a double bed and has its own ensuite bathroom. There is parking outside and the adjacent former stables provide storage. DANS BARN For someone who loves the use of wood and exposed beams and peg frames and open plan living, this serves it up in bucketfuls. Downstairs there is a modern shower room, freestanding kitchen, space for a table and chairs and space for sofas and chairs to relax and admire the outside, but also to admire the magnificent work that has gone into creating this building. The first floor is mezzanine living, again open plan with two sleeping areas bisected by the stairs and gallery. There is parking outside, as well as decking overlooking the orchards to the woodland beyond. COB BARN This sits beside the Dairy Barn and has cart doors on either side, wonderful timber trusses and further external storage. A more modern agricultural barn offers tremendous scope for a number of uses, previously having loose boxes. Doors are found at either end and power and light are connected. A manège sits adjacent to the barn. It is currently used as a children’s play area. Opposite, a small track leads to 4 acres of level paddocks, once used for grazing horses and currently for grazing sheep. FISHING Beer Farm owns the double bank fishing rights on the River Okement, as far as Monkokehampton Weir. It contains a series of pools, attracting salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout. GARDENS and GROUNDS Wandering through these is almost like being in your own private parklands with large swathes of lawn, mature shrubs, plants, trees, hedgerows, rockery, pond, pasture and orchard, all with the sound of the River Okement running along one side. Double bank fishing rights run for about 500 yards down to Monkokehampton Weir. Everywhere you look, there is a vista to enjoy. The immense terrace that runs around two sides of the house allows for large parties and al fresco entertaining in the warmer months. A slope leads up to the kitchen gardens with over a dozen raised beds, a greenhouse with water, electricity and lighting, a large fruit cage, a 50 ft polytunnel and garden sheds. So for someone looking to grow and eat their own produce and enjoy the good life that growing your own food can provide, this will take a lot of beating. A magnificent 100 year old olive tree with twisted and gnarled trunk leads to a curving 20m long wisteria arbour and strategically at the end is a bench to just sit and listen to nature and the sounds of tumbling water. Between the drive and the river is a productive orchard with beehives. The overall private and natural setting of this particular home cannot be over-emphasised. Any owner will feel privileged to own this little part of Devonian tranquillity. SERVICES Mains water, electricity, oil fired heating to the main house and to Dairy Barn. Electric heating to Dans Barn. Drainage to a modern treatment plant. LPG for gas hob and fires. Agents note. There is an existing historical indemnity insurance in perpetuity to cover the change of use of the barns from agricultural to residential. The modern agricultural barn has a traditional asbestos cement roofing which is not uncommon for this type of building.

House with garden and terrace Devon (United Kingdom)
The long private driveway immediately creates a wonderful sense of seclusion before you arrive at the farmhouse with its generous parking and turning areas. The combination of character lifestyle that is on offer within the main house and the former Shippen, along with the land and various outbuildings, makes Badslake particularly appealing to those looking for a lifestyle property with equestrian facilities, and multigenerational living or simply plenty of space, in a peaceful rural environment. The Farmhouse The farmhouse itself is an attractive and substantial period home we understand to be of cobb and stone construction under a slate roof, providing approximately 3,350 sq. Ft of accommodation over two floors. Character features can be found throughout, including exposed timbers, stonework, Marland brick floors and impressive fireplaces, while the generous proportions provide excellent space to enjoy family life without necessarily having to be on top of each other. On the ground floor, the accommodation is centred around a spacious double aspect kitchen/breakfast room, complete with Aga, that creates a natural heart to the home and sets the tone for the rest of the accommodation that is on offer elsewhere in the house. The sitting room and family room sit alongside one another, both having fireplaces with log burners to cosy up to in the colder months of the year. Off the family room and overlooking the approach to the farm is a fine 23’ garden room that our clients use as a dining room that should comfortably sit 12 or more as required and it must be a lovely environment for some lively evening entertaining, or lunch time get togethers as it is bathed in sunlight through the mid morning to mid afternoon. On the other side of the kitchen an inner hall leads to the family room, again with log burner and leading off is another garden room, with log burner, which our client uses as an office overlooking the garden on the eastern side which also means they are away from the daily household activities going on around. At the rear of the farmhouse is a study/gym, featuring an attractive local Marland brick floor, as well as a cloakroom and a generous sized utility room, providing ample appliance space and direct access out to the garden. On the first floor there are five double bedrooms providing excellent accommodation for a larger family or visiting guests. There are also two big bathrooms, together with useful landing and storage areas. The Annexe Away from the main farmhouse, the former Shippen has been thoughtfully converted to provide characterful and versatile additional accommodation. Ideal for extended family, dependent relatives or visiting guests, it also offers excellent potential as a separate work from home space. The ground floor comprises a generous sitting room with log burner, a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of units and appliance space, a double bedroom, a contemporary styled wet room and at the front a sun trap conservatory/garden room looking back towards the farmhouse and up to the fields beyond. A staircase rises to a substantial former attic that is being used as an occasional sleeping area and provides a highly useful and adaptable additional space. Outbuildings, Stables & Barns A traditional cobb barn stands opposite the farmhouse and although it has lapsed for conversion, provides a terrific storage/workshop with storeroom on one side and stables attached at the rear. The other buildings include an impressive 44’ tractor barn providing substantial storage for machinery and vehicles, an animal pen, games room and large wood store with plenty of space for splitting logs. There is extensive parking and turning space around the buildings, while the private driveway provides access through the grounds to the main property. Paddocks There are three paddocks, two together culminating near the small lake. The third is on the inner curve of the drive linked to the stables via a ‘race’ providing ideal turn out for horse and ponies. Gardens & Grounds Wandering through these is like being in your own park with a swathe of lawn dotted with young trees leading down to the small lake which has its own island in the middle. There are productive orchards with fruit trees including pears and apples, both eaters and cookers. Adjoining the rear of the house is a large lawn and at the front is a sun trap terrace ideal for a quiet contemplation and listening to the sounds of nature all around. The Shippen has its own garden having lawn at the front and a terrace at the back which is an ideal for some al fresco entertaining.

Once through the gates, it feels as though the outside world simply disappears. The house has a wonderful atmosphere – warm and welcoming in winter with its log burners, yet naturally cool in summer thanks to its thick stone walls. Over the years, we've carefully restored and enhanced it, preserving its character while introducing thoughtful modern additions, including solar panels with battery storage and renewable hot water.

Whether welcoming extended family, working from home, keeping animals, cultivating vegetables, or simply escaping the pace of modern living, this is a home that effortlessly adapts to every stage of family life.”

Seaside property Ilfracombe (United Kingdom)
11 The Quay is somewhat of a landmark building in Ilfracombe being a very attractive and substantial property situated in one of the town's most sought after locations sitting immediately adjacent to the picturesque harbour in a mixed parade of shops, restaurants and bars leading down towards the pier. The property enjoys wonderful views over the inner harbour towards Hillsborough and from the rear over the Bristol Channel and rugged coastline towards Wales in the distance. The property was completely renovated and restored in recent times by previous owner and world renowned artist, Damien Hirst, who re-opened what was once the White Hart Inn as a high quality Bistro/Bar and Restaurant. Further improvements have been made by the current owner to completely transform the upper floors of the building to form fabulous living accommodation which is beautifully appointed and refurbished to a very high standard presented as a very spacious 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom residence together with the most stunning main living room which is an impressive 36ft long and with a superb vaulted ceiling which is designed to look like an upturned ship’s hull. Plenty of light floods the room through the sea facing gabled end which comprises an expanse of floor to ceiling glass which beautifully frames the stunning views from the rear over the Bristol Channel and towards the distant Welsh coastline. Double doors provide access to a sea facing terrace. Within the living room is a mezzanine level dining area which is a another feature of the property, adding to its unique design and layout. 11 The Quay could suit a variety of purposes and is great for an owner/occupier to live and run the business from within. Alternatively the commercial and residential areas of the building could be let separately providing the owner with an excellent annual income. At present, the ground floor commercial area is let on a 5 year lease at an annual rent of £24,000. This area is being run as a successful cafe business. The upper floors which comprise the residential accommodation, is currently used as a very successful high-quality holiday let. Both areas of the property have been separated from one another and allow for independent use by different operators giving greater flexibility as to the use of the building. The services have been split and there is a very tastefully designed and instaled glazed and oak partition on the first floor which screens the two areas from one another. However, the property could easily be used by an owner occupier and opened up to interconnect if needed. The location is truly outstanding with very few opportunities to buy a mixed commercial/residential property sitting immediately adjacent to the harbour ever being available. The property is right in amongst the various shops, restaurants, wine bars and public houses, cafes and art galleries within the sea front area. Damien Hirst's Verity statute stands prominently on Ilfracombe pier and has been the catalyst for a great number of visitors to the town in recent years. The high street with its further selection of small independent shops and amenities is again just a short distance away and there are schools for all ages as well as Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op Supermarkets. There is always something to see on a day to day basis as the harbour forms one of Ilfracombe’s main attractions and is the area from which the town built its foundations as a working fishing port and hub for importing coal back in the early Victorian era and then latterly becoming a thriving tourist resort thereafter. The sea front area in particular has seen huge investment in recent years. There is a constant stream of boats in and out of the harbour, both those out for pleasure and leisure pursuits as well as fishing boats and charter vessels. North Devon has a huge amount to offer with the fabulous golden sand surfing beaches at Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short car ride away. The Exmoor National Park is also within easy reach and enjoys some breath-taking scenery and miles and miles of walking. North Devon’s main trading centre, Barnstaple, is approximately 12 miles away and has many of the big name shops. There is also a rail link to Exeter which then connects directly to the major stations in London. The main A361 North Devon Link road also connects from Barnstaple and joins the M5 at junction 27. THE GROUND FLOOR The ground floor of the premises amounts to approximately 97m2 (1,041ft2) and is the main 'commercial' area of the property. The current use is as a cafe business. We understand the planning use class is defined as E (Commercial, Business and Service). At the front of house there is a large serving area, approximately 22ft x 18ft, which has full height glazing and retractable sliding doors open onto the harbour side frontage. There are Ladies and Gents WC's for use by patrons of the cafe. The counter area offers a further 17ft x 12ft. Beyond the counter is a food preparation room with a range of commercial grade appliances and work surfaces further on again is a kitchen/washing area with further stainless-steel commercial equipment including a dishwasher, sinks and fridges. At the very rear there is a walk-in cold room. ** Please note, the commercial appliances are not included in the sale but are available by separate negotiation if required. As mentioned above, this area is let on a 5 year commercial lease at an annual rent of £24,000, thus providing the new owner of the building with a very handy ready-made income. THE FIRST FLOOR The upper floors of the building are laid out as living accommodation and could be occupied permanently if required. However, at present this area of the building is being used as a high-quality holiday let. The beautifully appointed accommodation throughout has been tastefully and expertly refurbished in recent years. On the half landing there are further Ladies and Gents WC's. The first floor amounts to 138m90ft2)2 (1,4 and has very impressive rooms across the level. The heart of the home is the fabulous and extremely impressive living room located at the rear of the building and as described earlier with its superb shapely vaulted ceiling, hardwood floor and its perfectly framed far reaching views over the Bristol Channel. The mezzanine dining area provides a further unique feature to this striking and exquisite space. There is a modern and well equipped kitchen which has an extensive range of fitted units and is inclusive of integrated appliances such as two ovens, an induction hob with an extractor canopy over, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The hallway has an attractive oak floor and leads out to the front of the building where there are two generous sized bedrooms on this floor, both of which have two pairs of French doors which open as Juliet balconies and which offer delightful views over the inner harbour and moored boats and across to the town and around to Hillsborough which shelters the bay. Bedroom 1 has a fireplace feature with a decorative surround and mantle over. The large en suite bathroom is beautifully appointed and spacious having a bath as well as a separate walk-in shower cubicle and contemporary tiling. Bedroom 1 is set up as a double room whilst bedroom 2 is arranged with two single beds. The principal bathroom is another spacious facility which is well equipped and again has modern sanity ware which includes a bath and a separate walk-in shower. THE SECOND FLOOR The attractive staircase with its ornate spindle balustrade continues up to the second floor. There are two further large bedrooms with the space exaggerated further by high beamed vaulted ceilings in both rooms. As with the bedrooms on the floor below, two pairs of French doors in each room forms Juliet balconies and again enjoys the ever changing harbour side views. There are period features throughout the property and in bedroom 3 there is an ornamental cast iron fireplace with a marble surround and mantle over. This floor amounts to 38m2 (404ft2). The furniture in the apartment is not included in the sale but is available by separate negotiation. OUTSIDE At roadside, we understand there is an area at the front of the building where chairs and tables can be set. This would provide some outdoor seating for those using the cafe, for example. At the rear of the building and leading from the main and impressive living room, there is a sea facing terrace which has space for tables and chairs and which enjoys far reaching views over the Bristol Channel taking in Capstone and Lantern Hill, the Bristol Channel and across to the distant Welsh coastline. Parking permits are available from North Devon District Council for the Cheyne Beach Car Park that sits to the rear of the property. SERVICES All mains services are connected to the building. The services have been split to provide independent supplies to the ground floor and upper floor areas. Both units have individual electricity supplies and it is just the upper floor unit that has a gas supply. There is one water supply to the building but that is sub-metered accordingly. The property benefits from two parking permits for the Cheyne Beach Car Park, located close to the apartment. The permits are issued by Ilfracombe Council and allow registration of two vehicle number plates. The current cost for the permits is approximately £360 per year. For owners operating holiday lets, vehicle registration details can be amended weekly if required, with a £25 + VAT administration fee payable to the council for number plate changes. COUNCIL TAX The property is subject to non-domestic rates with the ground floor having a rateable value of £6,600 and the first and second floor with a rateable value of £5,800. Both areas of the property would qualify for the Government’s Small Business Rate Relief scheme which currently runs at 100% relief. (Please check your own personal circumstances to see if you would qualify.
