Top Road, Hooe, TN33

Set in a peaceful rural spot this charming period home in need of full renovation offers character-rich interiors, flexible outbuildings (2 1/2 acre paddock by negotiation) — all wrapped in mature gardens and accessed via a long private drive.

Arriving along a long, tree-lined driveway, this wonderfully characterful home in need of modernisation has been in the same family for over 20 years reveals itself slowly — set behind a mature front garden with lawns, established shrubs and ample parking. Inside, original features like exposed beams, sloping floors, wooden doors with black iron fittings and a series of working fireplaces add immediate warmth and depth. The main kitchen and dining space offers rustic charm with solid wood cabinetry, wood-effect surfaces, and room for everyday meals. From here, you’ll flow into a choice of living areas, each with its own personality — one with a log burner, another with views over the garden, and a further reception with exposed brick fireplace and access to the greenhouse.

Upstairs, the four double bedrooms feature rich period detailing, from built-in cupboards to exposed beams and feature fireplaces. A good-sized bathroom includes both a walk-in shower and a separate bath, with wood-effect finishes and garden views. A wide landing, airing cupboard and staircase all contribute to the home’s gently aged elegance.

Beyond the main house, the scope continues: a cellar offers powered storage, while the detached Old Saddlery — with its vaulted ceiling, velux windows, and separate WC — is ready to be reimagined as a studio, office or guest annexe (STPP). To the rear, the garden rolls into open fields and includes a brick path, patio, lawn and well-established natural planting. A gate leads to the paddock, while the rear also houses a granary with storage above and the remains of the old pigsty. With its inviting feel, versatile spaces and breathtaking views, this is a rare opportunity to own a home that blends rural peace with real potential.
