This beautifully refurbished Victorian farmhouse, complemented by two elegant attached cottages and a further detached cottage, is set within private, secluded grounds and presents an ideal lifestyle purchase-whether for multi-generational living, a change of pace, or a ready-made holiday letting business.
Currently run as a highly successful and profitable self-catering retreat, full financial details are available upon request. Centery Farm lends itself equally to those seeking to expand a portfolio or to create a rewarding home-and-income lifestyle in a peaceful rural setting.
The Main House
At the heart of the property lies a charming and generously proportioned farmhouse, seamlessly blending period character with modern convenience. A welcoming entrance hall leads through to spacious ground floor accommodation, including a cosy sitting room with feature fireplace and an impressive 22 ft dining room, bathed in natural light and opening onto a south-facing terrace-perfect for entertaining.
The farmhouse-style kitchen is both practical and inviting, featuring a range cooker, timber cabinetry and ample preparation space. Additional rooms include a utility kitchen, laundry room, office, cloakroom and larder, ensuring excellent functionality.
Upstairs, there are four well-appointed bedrooms, two of which enjoy large en suite bathrooms, alongside a stylish family bathroom.
Duckdown Cottage
Adjoining the main house yet offering complete privacy, Duckdown Cottage is a well-presented two-storey accommodation. It comprises a bright sitting room with fireplace and garden access, a fitted kitchen with adjoining utility, and two double bedrooms, both with en suite facilities-ideal for guests or extended family.
The Dairy Cottage
Designed for single-level living, The Dairy Cottage offers a contemporary, open-plan layout. The spacious kitchen, living and dining area features bi-fold doors opening onto a private garden, alongside a freestanding log burner. There are three en suite bedrooms and a guest cloakroom, making it perfectly suited to holiday letting or independent occupation.
The Milking Shed
This detached, single-storey conversion provides modern accommodation with a vaulted open-plan living/kitchen area and French doors leading to its own private garden. Two bedrooms are served by a stylish shower room, offering a fresh and contemporary feel.
The Jam Shed
In addition, a two-bedroom static caravan provides further income potential as a holiday let which enjoys its own parking and gardens.
Outside
The property extends to approximately 6 acres, approached via a sweeping gravel driveway leading to a spacious forecourt with ample parking and turning space. Each dwelling benefits from its own private garden, while extensive paved terraces serve the main house and cottages.
The grounds include workshops and former stabling, along with a paddock that previously held consent for five touring caravans. Beautiful lawned gardens, mature trees and well-established planting lead into a copse and pastureland beyond, ensuring both privacy and a picturesque setting.
From Barnstaple take the A39 road towards Lynton. Leave the town passing by North Devon District Hospital and within a short distance bear left onto the B3230 road to Muddiford. Proceed through Muddiford, Milltown and Bittadon and as you leave the centre of Bittadon, continue for approximately half a mile taking the first turning on the right thereafter, where Centery Farm is the first property in on the left and clearly signed.
