Higher Clovelly, Bideford, EX39

Dyke Green Farm is a substantial five-bedroom, five bathroom detached period home that is located within Clovelly Dyke, one of the largest and most impressive early Iron Age hill forts in Devon. This beautiful home was originally converted in 1979 and is situated just minutes away from the popular and iconic fishing village of Clovelly. The property offers far reaching sea views from its upper windows.


This property consists of an area exceeding 3000SQFT and has had a complete scheme of modernisation throughout by the current owner to a high standard in modern decor and neutral tones. It provides well-planned and spacious accommodation with good circulation that would suit a variety of lifestyles.

With two accessible driveways and expansive parking facilities there are extensive lawn gardens and shingled areas to enjoy. There is the option to continue the lease (subject to landlord’s consent) of the approximately one-acre field with two large pole barns which can be used for vehicle storage and/or animal shelter.

One of the particularly unusual features of this property is the large 50’x 30' workshop/garage unit that is separate from the house which would be ideal for anyone looking to run their own business from home or provide additional income if it was rented out. It features both ground floor and partial upper floor accommodation with main floor area, workshop and storage room/site office.

STEP INSIDE
Upon entry, a welcoming entrance porch leads into a superb double height valuted hallway featuring an open stair case with a large Velux window flooring light into the space.

To the right is the formal dual aspect dining room and straight ahead is the kitchen/ breakfast room. A stunning room that has been finished to a high standard throughout. The kitchen combines clean lines and functionality with a large breakfast bar dominating its central area. This wonderful space features gloss white units together with granite worksurface, inset drainer, instant hot water tap and porcelain tiled floor. There is an integral larder fridge, dishwasher and full height freezer. There is also space for an Everhot range cooker (which could be sold separately via negotiation). To the far end of the Kitchen is a well fitted out utility room and lobby area leading both to the entrance area for the annexe and downstairs cloakroom. The kitchen, utility, WC and lobbies all have electric underfloor heating. A separate study fitted with a selection of cabinets

The annexe sits to the far end of the house and features a large ground floor en-suite-bedroom with its own door leading to the outside. This area would be ideal for a relative or a teenage child or potentially utilised as a guest room.

On the ground floor leading off the kitchen is the living room. A wonderful area with oak wooden floors and a large central fireplace with wood burning stove. A set of internal bi-fold double doors provide access into a vaulted garden room with Velux windows and wall to wall windows which in turn leads through double doors to the courtyard garden area outside.

From the hall a staircase leads up to a galleried landing overlooking the hallway and there is an airing cupboard and access to family bathroom.

There are four double bedrooms on the first floor including the master suite which has a walk-in dressing area and also access to a luxury en-suite. There are distance sea views across Bideford Bay enjoyed from the window of this master bedroom and from bedroom two. Bedroom two and bedroom three also benefit from individual en-suite shower rooms meaning there are five bathrooms, and a separate WC within the property.

There are two main areas of garden, a landscaped patio to the front of the property with pretty flower borders with dual access driveway. There is also a 45' x 20' lawned garden with a greenhouse located close by. Off the garden room is a stone walled, shingled courtyard that is secluded to all sides with the far side offering a Mediterranean influenced, alfresco seating area which the current vendors have decked out with multiple planters and window boxes
