Secluded farmhouse for sale in Kingsbridge
Date : 24 January 2010
Culverwell is a truly enchanting farmhouse in a very private location with the added benefit of full planning consent to convert existing barns to a separate 4/5 bedroomed dwelling.
The work has already been started and, with the addition of a kitchen and bathroom, it could easily become habitable.
The property for sale in Kingsbridge is situated in a delightful valley formed by the River Avon in the heart of the South Devon countryside. The house enjoys some excellent views whilst being secretly tucked away in its own valley.
Culverwell takes its name from the “Culver Well” in the garden and is of considerable historic importance, dating back in parts to the 14th Century.
Principally constructed of stone under a slate roof, with later additions to the house thought to be of Georgian origin, Culverwell offers great character and interest with a wealth of period features and is in excellent order throughout. In addition to the partly converted barn there are two further traditional buildings together with a modern agricultural barn.
The whole property is surrounded by its gardens and then by the cider orchards and paddocks extending to approximately 4.8 acres.
Chris Clifford, negotiator, Knight Frank Waterfront said: “Culverwell represents a real opportunity to add value to a property. The house is in fantastic order throughout and with the opportunity to convert the barns there is great potential to generate an extra income through holiday lets or provide space for two families to enjoy living together in this very popular part of South Devon”.
