Full Description - Originally three separate cottages, Trendwell House has been thoughtfully combined into one expansive residence. Full of charm, character, and potential, this remarkable home offers an incredibly versatile layout with endless opportunities for development, multi-generational living, or even subdivision into separate dwellings (subject to planning permission, STPP). As you approach the property, you're greeted by the picturesque charm of a traditional cottage. However, stepping inside reveals a surprising and impressive amount of space that far exceeds first impressions.
On the ground floor, the property features an entrance porch with a W/C, a large sitting room, and hallway access to a study. From the sitting room, there is a door through to the spacious kitchen/dining room, with access to the rear garden, sun room, and utility room. The main staircase rises from the sitting room to the first and second floors, where you will find a total of seven bedrooms-five on the first floor with two bathrooms, and two further bedrooms on the top floor. An additional staircase from the sun room leads to the two bedrooms on the first floor, with appropriate planning permission, this part of the house could be separated to create a self-contained unit, potentially returning part of the property to a 2-bedroom self-contained cottage. Alternatively, it can continue to serve as one large, cohesive family home, as used by the current owner.
While the interior would benefit from modernisation, it presents a great opportunity for the next owners to renovate and personalise to their taste. Outdoor Space and Potential The grounds are equally impressive. A courtyard leads to a charming lawned garden with mature shrubs, which extends to a generous orchard (Approx. 3.5 Acres) -perfect for recreation, gardening, or subject to planning, potential future development. Two barns offer further flexibility, ideal for storage, stables, a studio, or home office. They also present further conversion opportunities, again subject to the necessary planning consents. A single driveway from the road provides convenient access and parking adjacent to the barns. Set in the heart of the village, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a property with substantial living space, character, and excellent development potential. Viewing is essential to fully appreciate the scope and charm of this unique home.

There is a public house with a restaurant, church, nursery/primary school, village shop and it is on the bus route. The village also has a tennis club, a children's playground and a large green. The Avon River and Estuary which is renowned for its abundance of wildfowl and it is navigable downstream to Bantham and out to sea, tide permitting is within walking distance.
