Trentishoe, Parracombe

A charming Grade II Listed detached period residence which offers generous, tastefully modernised accommodation together with delightful landscaped & riverside gardens including pasture area, in all about 1.28 acres, in a timeless Exmoor hamlet within walking distance of the local pub. No upward chain. EPC Rated E. Council Tax Band F. Freehold.

Situation & Amenities - The property is beautifully located to the North western end of Exmoor National Park, fronting a quiet country lane set within its own landscaped gardens to the right of the dwelling. There are additional private gardens and riverside pasture opposite, and it lies within an unspoilt valley close to Trentishoe Common (owned by The National Trust), about a mile inland from the dramatic North Devon coastline. Trentishoe is midway between the twin coastal resort towns of Lynton and Lynmouth to the East, and the village of Combe Martin to the West. About ¾ mile to the North is the ancient parish church, with the Hunters Inn at Heddons Mouth being just about ½ a mile or a healthy walk. Barnstaple - the regional centre - is about 15 miles or just over half an hour away to the South. At Barnstaple there is access to the North Devon Link Road (A361) which runs on to Jct.27 of the M5 Motorway in about a further 45 minutes or so, and where Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours. Barnstaple offers the area’s main business, commercial, leisure and shopping venues, as well as live theatre and district hospital. North Devon’s famous surfing beaches (at Croyde, Putsborough, Saunton and Woolacombe) are all about ½ an hour away. There are extensive walks and bridleways on Trentishoe Common and the surrounding unspoilt countryside. The area is well served by excellent state and private schools, including the renowned West Buckland School.

Description - Trentishoe Coombe is a substantial detached period property, which presents painted stone elevations beneath a slate roof. The property is Grade II Listed as being of architectural and historical importance. The current owner has sympathetically and tastefully modernised the property, where the characterful accommodation combines quality 21st Century refinements with many original period features. The house is complemented by an enclosed courtyard to the rear with hot tub and to the right are landscaped gardens, including an extensive sun terrace. Immediately across the road and opposite the house is an additional area of garden, accessed via separate pedestrian and vehicular gates, where there is ample parking and pastureland. Other external amenities include a quirky enclosed bar, shower/wc and extensive frontage to the River Heddon - crossed by a wooden bridge from the garden into the pasture area, an ideal venue for a marquee for those special occasions. The position is quite simply idyllic, timeless and tranquil. This is a property which certainly needs to be viewed internally to be fully appreciated.

With the sea on your left and on to Trentishoe Common as you drop down into the tree line, you will arrive at a junction and a settlement of properties on your left.

Special Note - The vendor owns the single storey detached period cottage and garden to the right of Trentishoe Coombe which they intend to retain. Furthermore, as one enters the vehicular access across the lane they intend to retain the kitchen garden and paddock below also. This has a separate pedestrian gated access. A suitable boundary fence will be erected in due course and this area will be separated from the existing deeds. However, this parcel of riverside land may be available to purchase by separate negotiation, subject to a buyer's requirements.
