Beaworthy, Devon

Bond Oxborough Phillips are delighted to offer this truly unique opportunity to acquire a substantial and character-filled detached period residence — 'Longhall' — set in the heart of the village, complete with a versatile two-bedroom annexe offering income or multigenerational living potential.

Longhall – A Home with Heritage and Possibility

Set proudly on a generous plot, 'Longhall' combines timeless charm with a wealth of flexible living options — ideal for those seeking a distinguished main residence, business opportunity, or potential for self-contained holiday or rental accommodation.

As you step through the large entrance porch — perfect for muddy boots and country essentials — the sense of space and thoughtful layout becomes immediately apparent. A central hallway provides access to two generous front-facing reception rooms, both boasting delightful village views. The living room exudes character with a stunning stone fireplace housing a multi-fuel burner, while the separate dining room leads seamlessly into the kitchen.

The kitchen itself is well-equipped, offering a range of fitted units, built-in double oven, and ample appliance space — ideal for any keen cook. From here, a further hallway connects back to the living room and leads to a covered rear area, offering practical storage or workshop space.

An ideal work-from-home setup is found to the rear of the property, with a dedicated office space behind the former post office — a bright and inviting area with a large front display window and separate pedestrian access. This adaptable zone could easily serve as a studio, consulting room or business frontage. A downstairs WC and utility room complete the ground floor accommodation.

Upstairs, the home offers exceptional versatility. The primary staircase leads to two self-contained flats, each with a double bedroom, en-suite facilities, and private kitchenettes (formerly large double bedrooms), ideal for guest accommodation or letting potential. One flat even boasts an additional charming snug — the perfect reading nook.

A second staircase provides access to an additional two spacious double bedrooms and a beautifully appointed family bathroom, complete with walk-in shower, freestanding bath and vanity unit — all finished to a high standard.

The Old Coach House – Detached 2 Bedroom Annexe

Accessed via its own entrance at the rear, this charming two-bedroom annexe is brimming with potential. The ground floor comprises a spacious dual-aspect sitting room with exposed beams and a country-style kitchen/diner with ample workspace. Upstairs are two comfortable double bedrooms and a bathroom — ideal for extended family, guests, or as a ready-to-go income source.

Outside – Generous Grounds with Scope

The property benefits from multiple off-road parking spaces and a detached garage — perfect for storage or conversion to a workshop. The rear garden is laid mainly to lawn, with established patio and gravelled areas ideal for outdoor dining or entertaining. A former swimming pool lies towards the back of the garden — currently in disrepair but offering scope for restoration or redevelopment, subject to buyer preference.
