Newton Tracey, Barnstaple, EX31

A Rare Opportunity Indeed! * Detached 4 Bedroom Devon Longhouse With Planning Consent To Convert Outbuildings * Further Modernisation Required * About Half an Acre Of Stream Bordered Grounds * Just 5 Miles South Of Barnstaple * Quiet Rural Valley Location * Immediate Vacant Possession *

Newton Tracey is a small village 5 miles South of Barnstaple and straddles the B3232 towards Torrington. Causeys is on the Southern edge of the village and is approached over a shared concreted driveway over which it has a right of way. It is a typical longhouse in style and although benefitting from double glazing and calor gas central heating, it would benefit from further improvements. An increasingly rare opportunity to put your own individual stamp on a property of character. 

It further benefits from a recently acquired planning consent to convert the existing outbuildings in the rear garden to provide a 2 Bedroom Detached Single-Storey Dwelling, which is not tied to the main dwelling, so could be sold off or provide a useful annexe or letting income.

The village itself is centred around the well known Hunters Inn - a popular restaurant and pub. The nearest primary school is at Lovacott - only 2 miles - with secondary education in Barnstaple (5 miles) or Torrington (5 miles). The North Devon coastline is a major attraction with nearby beaches at Westward Ho! Saunton, Woolacombe and Croyde, whilst Exmoor National Park is about an hour away.
