Whimple

We are delighted to offer this spacious detached 5-bedroom property with very flexible accommodation, suitable for multi-generational living and with great income potential, located on the edge of the popular village of Whimple. The current owners run a 5-star-rated boarding cattery with 20 pens which is included in the sale. The cattery provides a regular and growing income (further details on request).
 
The accommodation comprises a porch/utility room, kitchen with a range of wall and base units, worktop surfaces, electric oven and hob as well as oil fired AGA which provides heating and hot water as well as cooking, tiled flooring, lounge/dining room with wood burner, conservatory with tiled flooring, family bathroom and main bedroom with built-in wardrobes. Both the bedroom and the lounge/dining room have bay windows looking over the garden. The property also has electric heating (including night storage) for use if needed.
 
Also on the ground floor is a second kitchen which has its own entrance and staircase to the first floor where there is a separate bedroom and shower room. This could easily be incorporated back into the house with the removal of a stud partition. This was previously occupied by a family member but is currently used by visiting friends and relatives.
 
The first floor is accessed via a staircase from the lounge/dining room and there are two further bedrooms (one with an en-suite) and a large study (with all facilities for working from home) looking over the garden.
 
There is also an annexe on the ground floor with kitchen, shower room and bedroom. This is council taxed separately and has its own entrance but could easily be incorporated back into the house. This annexe is currently let out and earning an income.
