LOCATION
Situated on the main A3072 route, linking Hatherleigh to Holsworthy, this area is renowned as 'Ruby Country.' In the heart of Dartmoor, Exmoor, and Bodmin Moor, it offers a central position in the Westcountry, perfect for exploring the enchanting moors and stunning coastline. Nearby market towns include Holsworthy (5 miles), Hatherleigh (9 miles), and Torrington (18 miles).
THE PROPERTY
This detached country inn was re-constructed after 2003 when a fire spread in the old thatched roof and the property was re-built in 2004 and now provides comfortable accommodation with 11 en-suite letting bedrooms, a 2 double bedroom owners suite, charming bars, function room, large well equipped commercial kitchen, 35 space car park (with 6 electric car hook up points) plus beer garden with picnic tables and a small "secret garden". There is a small wooded area just beyond the car park which has development potential subject to planning permission. Some years ago, the vendor looked into installing log cabins within the woodland, a project that could be pursued by an incoming purchaser. Please note that some of the trees have preservation orders. Part of the woods are currently fenced off and used for keeping pigs, pygmy goats and emus, which are popular with families and children. If desired these animals could be included within the sale by separate negotiation. There is a stone base for access through part of the woods and within the curtilage is a covered car port and garage/store.
