Monkleigh, North Devon, EX39

Beaconside is a rare freehold opportunity, a private 25 acre country estate combining an established events and holiday accommodation business with significant potential for further expansion. Located just three miles from Bideford and within easy reach of the North Devon coast, the estate offers complete privacy and versatility across landscaped grounds, meadows, woodland and 1.5 acres of private river frontage.

At its heart stands an elegant early Victorian Manor House, built in 1841, with nine bedrooms, six of which are en suite, and impressive reception rooms ideal for guest use or owner occupation. Surrounding the Manor are four spacious self-contained cottages, each well presented with modern kitchens, private terraces and open plan living areas, together with nine luxury woodland cabins set within mature woodland for a secluded guest experience.

At the centre of the business is The Beacon, a large open beamed and glass fronted events barn with an adjoining Glasshouse, capable of hosting up to 200 guests. The barn features a fully equipped commercial kitchen and bar, offering clear potential for use as a restaurant, café or bistro alongside weddings and private functions. A free standing site office provides an ideal operational base for business management and client meetings.

Leisure facilities include both indoor and outdoor heated swimming pools, a large hot tub, landscaped gardens, meadows and woodland walks, creating an exceptional guest environment and supporting year round trade.

A modern biomass boiler system services the main house, cottages, Beacon and indoor pool, generating approximately £30,000 per annum under the Renewable Heat Incentive scheme, with around nine years of payments remaining.

There is generous on site parking for 60 cars, extensive landscaped areas, and a Victorian walled garden offering further scope for development. The estate presents excellent potential to introduce additional income streams such as

• further woodland cabins
• yurts, bell tents or glamping pods
• indoor and outdoor saunas
• cold exposure and wellness therapy using the outdoor pool
• massage or treatment rooms
• adventure and activity based experience packages

Beaconside is a leading North Devon venue with multiple established income streams from weddings, events and accommodation, alongside clear potential for diversification and growth. It represents a rare opportunity to acquire a proven, scalable hospitality business within one of Devon’s most sought after rural locations.
