AVIS DES VENDEURS After moving to different regions of the country for work, it was during our second visit to Somerset that we decided that is where we wanted to plant roots. We were looking for a character home with land, a place that would allow us to indulge our long-standing interest in animal welfare. During our stay at Greenhayes, we had the pleasure of caring for Hebridean sheep, Wiltshire horns, donkeys and Anglo-Nubian goats. It is a wonderful, peaceful place for them to live their lives, with plenty of space and a natural environment conducive to flourishing. The wildlife has also given us immense pleasure. We have a resident owl and look forward each year to the return of swallows and house martins, which have become a cherished part of the changing seasons at Greenhayes. ENTRÉE Considered to date from the mid-18th century, Greenhayes Farm is an attractive period house offering well-balanced accommodation. It is perfectly suited to family life or buyers seeking a character property with space, privacy and further potential, subject to the necessary permissions. The ground floor provides a welcoming, practical layout, with a generous entrance ideal for boots, coats and country living. The kitchen, equipped with an electric Aga, overlooks the side garden, while the dining room faces the rear gardens, creating a natural connection with the garden. There are two comfortable reception rooms, both equipped with wood-burning stoves and offering views of the rear gardens; the living room also opens directly to the outside. A cloakroom and a shower on the ground floor add further convenience. On the ground floor there are four double bedrooms, each offering a lovely view of the gardens and grounds, as well as a family bathroom. SORTIE Located on about 3.6 acres, the property offers not only an attractive period home but also a superb range of gardens, grounds and outbuildings, offering endless lifestyle opportunities for the future owner. To the side of the house is a detached double garage, accessible by a wide driveway providing parking and turning space, with access continuing to the other side of the property. The gardens surround the house and benefit from a private, sunny aspect. Directly to the rear are established lawned areas, complemented by a variety of mature shrubs, hedges and plantings. Towards the top of the garden there are productive fruit trees and bushes, providing a real space for those wishing to grow their own produce or adopt a more self-sufficient lifestyle. The property also benefits from a multitude of outbuildings, each contributing to the versatility of the property. This includes a store for feed/gardening and a substantial detached workshop/studio, wired, lit and with a wood stove, with a large adjoining potting shed at the rear. There is also a block of stables comprising two pony-sized stables and an additional store. The land is currently divided into three distinct paddocks and has over the years been used by owners for donkeys, sheep, goats and chickens. It is private, versatile and well-suited to various smallholding, livestock or lifestyle uses. The upper paddock, located to the north, has been left unmanaged and will need to be fenced or trimmed before re-use. Electricity and water – oil-fired central heating and private drainage. We encourage you to check, before visiting a property, the potential broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage. You can do this by visiting NOTE The owners have commissioned a drainage compliance report with WCI in 2026. The existing drainage system does not meet current standards and will need to be replaced, with estimated costs of around £17,000. This may affect a purchaser’s ability to obtain mortgage financing, and interested parties are advised to consult a professional and suitable financial advice before proceeding. Further information

SELLER NOTES: “We were immediately drawn to the location, the building’s charm and its history. We wanted to feel immersed in the countryside while staying close to amenities — a local pub, a train station, and a nearby place for our horses. In 2009, after much searching, we found this community. The village has a wonderful spirit, with regular social events such as the annual IppleTipple celebration, and we felt at home right away. We lived here for several years before making changes, taking the time to understand the house to make respectful improvements suited to our lifestyle. We wanted a home large enough to host gatherings, which has always been a big part of our lives, but also a layout that gives our children independence as they grow up. One of the biggest transformations was discovering an entire floor of the house, which became the principal suite and guest bedroom. We relocated the kitchen and doubled the size of the living room, ensuring space for family gatherings and celebrations while preserving the character and original features. Our daughters lovingly called the ground floor their “apartment,” and we still have the sign reading “girls’ apartment” today. The living room has truly been the heart of our home — always alive with the piano, built-in music system, and the joyful hum of people, children and celebrations. It’s an open, versatile space, yet always warm and full of love. What we will miss most is the peace and quiet of the place, the enchanting views, and the sense of security that comes from being part of a community while enjoying privacy. The summer house, built in 2013, has been a true sanctuary and an extension of our living space, where we created wonderful memories with friends and family. Our neighbours and the village’s social spirit will be missed, especially waking up to the view. This house has been our sanctuary — but now that our children have grown and moved out, it is time for us to do the same.” The principal suite is a true sanctuary with views over the rolling countryside, generous proportions, bespoke fitted wardrobes, velux windows and a luxurious en-suite with bath and shower. Even more pleasure comes from a private sauna — the perfect way to unwind at the end of the day. The guest suite offers another spacious double bedroom with its own elegant en-suite bathroom, ensuring comfort and privacy for family or visitors. OUTSIDE: The south-facing terrace is the perfect spot to enjoy the sun, with steps leading past a characteristic pond to a beautifully landscaped lawn, surrounded by mature specimens and thoughtfully divided into distinct zones. Other steps descend to a private patio — a tranquil retreat where birdsong is the only sound. At the bottom of the garden sits an exceptional summer house designed as the ultimate entertaining and well-being space. This impressive structure includes a reception area with a bar recovered from a Bishopsteignton pub, ideal for parties or serving hot/cold drinks. Arches lead to an additional living area and the Jacuzzi room, with feature ceiling lines adding character throughout. Whether for entertaining, a gym/wellness centre, a home office, or simply family relaxation, it is a versatile space set in open countryside.

A magnificent conversion of a Grade II listed Victorian church, with remarkable architectural distinction, offering more than 4,470 square feet of beautifully restored accommodation in Cornwall’s most distinctive private residences. Occupying a prominent position within the former St Michael’s Church, in the tranquil hamlet of Baldhu, Tower House represents one of Cornwall’s most notable residential conversions. Believed to have been originally built in 1847 and sympathetically converted in 2008, this exceptional home preserves the original church’s architectural integrity while providing generous and highly versatile accommodation. The transformation was carried out with great care and respect for the building’s historic fabric. Impressive vaulted ceilings, Gothic arches, original stone pillars, and beautifully exposed timber roof trusses remain at the heart of the design, creating a home that successfully balances Victorian ecclesiastical architecture with practical family living needs. The property
Tower House offers an impressive suite of accommodation spanning four bedrooms, five bathrooms, and two large reception rooms. Arranged over several levels, the layout reflects the remarkable proportions of the original church while creating a practical, adaptable home perfectly suited to modern family life. On arrival, the sense of scale is immediately evident. The principal room occupies much of the former nave, where high vaulted ceilings rise above beautifully restored timber roof trusses, while elegant stone columns and Gothic arches establish a striking link with the building’s ecclesiastical origins. Large leaded light windows introduce natural light throughout the day, highlighting the craftsmanship of the original architecture and creating a wonderful sense of openness.
A second reception room provides a more intimate setting, centred around a contemporary wood-burning stove placed among the original stone pillars. Here, historic details can be appreciated up close, with sculpted granite columns and imposing vaulted ceilings creating a rarely encountered architectural setting in residential properties. The kitchen has been carefully integrated into the building’s original fabric, offering generous workspace, bespoke fittings, and an informal dining area beneath one of the church’s original stained glass panels. Internal glazed screens maintain visual links between the main living areas, ensuring that Gothic arches and the original architectural details remain present throughout the house.
Across the property, four generously proportioned bedrooms each have their own distinct character. The master suite occupies an impressive position under the visible roof structure, where the scale of the original building combines with carefully considered contemporary finishes to create an elegant, tranquil retreat. Among the most distinctive features of the house is the bedroom situated in the church’s original tower. Exposed granite walls, deeply inset Gothic windows, and a bespoke staircase leading to a vaulted bathroom combine to create a truly unique suite that celebrates one of the building’s most recognisable architectural features.
Five well-appointed bathrooms offer excellent flexibility for family life and guests, while the overall layout of the accommodation lends itself just as well to multi-generational living, home working, or those seeking substantial accommodation in a building of genuine architectural significance. Throughout Tower House, original craftsmanship remains a defining feature. Rather than competing with the building’s heritage, the conversion has been carefully designed to allow the scale, materials and details of the former church to take centre stage, creating a home that is as practical as it is architecturally impressive. The gardens
The gardens occupy the church’s original grounds and retain much of the character that has surrounded the building for generations. Mature trees, established planting and generous lawn spaces provide an attractive setting that complements the architecture while creating privacy and a strong sense of tranquillity. The gardens have been carefully maintained, offering a variety of seating areas to enjoy the surroundings while preserving the historic relationship between the church and its landscape. From many points in the gardens, the impressive granite façades, Gothic windows and the elegant tower remain a constant reminder of the building’s architectural importance. A substantial detached garage and adjoining workshop provide excellent additional storage, secure parking and great versatility, complementing the expansive space inside the house. The history
Considered to have been built originally in 1847, St Michael’s Church was commissioned during a period of significant ecclesiastical expansion in Cornwall and has long been recognised as an important example of Victorian Gothic architecture. Today, it holds Grade II listed status, a designation reserved for buildings of particular importance and of more than special interest. Sympathetically converted into two private residences in 2008, Tower House preserves many of the church’s iconic architectural features, including its high vaulted ceilings, visible timber roof structure, sculpted granite columns, Gothic arches, and original leaded and stained glass windows. The conversion was carried out with great sensitivity, ensuring that the character and craftsmanship of the original building remain front and centre while creating a home that meets the demands of modern living. Few residential conversions manage to preserve such a wealth of original architectural detail, making Tower House a particularly rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historic significance. Location
Baldhu is a small, highly regarded rural hamlet located about four miles south-west of Truro, offering a peaceful countryside setting while remaining exceptionally well connected. The cathedral city offers a wide range of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and cultural attractions, as well as highly regarded state and independent schools.

The surrounding area is ideally positioned for exploring both the north and south Cornish coasts. St Agnes, Porthtowan and Portreath beaches are all easily accessible, while the navigable waters of the Carrick roads, the Roseland Peninsula and many countryside walking trails offer excellent opportunities to enjoy Cornwall’s varied scenery.

11 The Quay is a building that is something of an emblematic landmark in Ilfracombe, being a highly attractive and imposing property located in one of the town’s most sought-after spots, right beside the picturesque harbour, in a mixed parade of shops, restaurants and bars leading to the pier. The property offers superb views over the inner harbour towards Hillsborough and to the rear over the Bristol Channel and the rugged coastline towards Wales in the distance. The property has been recently fully renovated and restored by the former owner and world-renowned artist, Damien Hirst, who reopened what was formerly the White Hart Inn as a high-quality bistro/bar and restaurant. Further improvements have been made by the current owner to transform the upper floors of the building into a fabulous, well-appointed and renovated residence to an exceptionally high standard, presented as a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home, with the main lounge the most impressive, stretching 36 feet, featuring a superb vaulted ceiling designed to resemble an inverted ship’s hull. Abundant light floods the room through the gable-end window facing the sea, which frames magnificently the stunning view from the rear over the Bristol Channel to the distant Welsh coast. Double doors give access to a sea-facing terrace. The mezzanine dining area is located within the lounge, another feature of the property that enhances its striking and exquisite design and layout. 11 The Quay could serve multiple uses and is ideal for an owner-occupier to live and run the business from inside. Alternatively, the building’s commercial and residential areas could be let separately, providing the owner with an excellent annual income. Currently, the ground-floor commercial area is let on a 5-year lease at an annual rent of £24,000. This area is operated as a thriving café. The upper floors, comprising the residential dwellings, are currently used as a very successful high-quality holiday let. The two zones of the property have been separated, allowing independent use by different operators, offering greater flexibility in how the building is used. Services have been separated and there is a well-designed and installed glass-and-oak partition on the ground floor that separates the two zones from each other. However, the property could easily be occupied by an owner-occupier and opened to interconnections if required. The location is truly exceptional, with very few opportunities to buy a mixed commercial/residential property next to the harbour. The property sits amidst a plethora of shops, restaurants, wine bars, pubs, cafés and art galleries along the waterfront. Damien Hirst’s Verity statue stands prominently on Ilfracombe’s pier and has drawn many visitors to the town in recent years. The high street, with its additional selection of independent shops and facilities, is a short distance away, and there are schools for all ages as well as Tesco, Lidl and Co-Op supermarkets. There is always something to see daily, as the harbour is one of Ilfracombe’s main attractions and was the starting point for the town’s development as an active fishing port and coal import hub in the early Victorian era, before later becoming a thriving tourist destination. The waterfront area has benefited from substantial investment in recent years. A steady flow of boats enter and leave the harbour for leisure and recreation, as well as fishing boats and charter vessels. North Devon has plenty to offer, with the wonderful golden sandy surfing beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde and Saunton just a short drive away. Exmoor National Park is also easily accessible and offers breathtaking landscapes and mile upon mile of walking. Barnstaple, the principal shopping centre of North Devon, is about 12 miles away and hosts many well-known stores. There is also a rail link to Exeter connecting directly to London’s major stations. The A361 North Devon Link road also connects Barnstaple and joins the M5 at Junction 27. GROUND FLOOR The ground floor of the premises rises to approximately 97 m² (1,041 ft²) and forms the main “commercial” area of the property. The current use is that of a café. We understand the planning use class is defined as E (Commercial, Business and Service). At the front of the house is a large service area of about 22 by 18 feet, with full-height glazing and retractable sliding doors opening onto the harbour-facing front. There are ladies’ and gentlemen’s toilets available to café customers. The counter area provides an additional extension of 17 by 12 feet. Beyond the work surface is a food preparation area with a range of commercial appliances and work surfaces of high-quality, further back is a kitchen/wash area with other stainless steel commercial equipment, including a dishwasher, sinks and refrigerators. At the very back there is a cold room to the entrance. Please note that the commercial appliances are not included in the sale but are available by separate negotiation if required. As mentioned above, this area is let on a 5-year commercial lease at £24,000 annual rent, providing the new owner with a very practical, already-acquired income. FIRST FLOOR The upper floors of the building are designed as accommodation and could be occupied permanently if required. However, currently, this zone of the building is used as a high-quality holiday let. The beautifully appointed living spaces have been tastefully and expertly renovated in recent years. On the half-landing, there are additional ladies’ and gentlemen’s WCs. The first floor measures 138 m² (1,490 ft²) and comprises very impressive rooms spread across the level. The heart of the home is the fabulous and highly impressive lounge situated at the rear of the building, as described above, with its superb vaulted ceiling, solid wood flooring and a perfectly framed view over the Bristol Channel. The mezzanine dining room adds an extra feature to this striking and exquisite space. A modern, well-equipped kitchen features a wide range of fitted units and includes integrated appliances such as two ovens, an induction hob with an extractor hood, a dishwasher, a fridge and a freezer. The hallway has a lovely oak floor and leads to the front of the building where two generous bedrooms on this floor benefit from pairs of French doors opening onto Juliet balconies and stunning views over the inner harbour and moored boats, then over the town and around Hillsborough, which houses the bay. Bedroom 1 has a fireplace with a decorative surround and a fireplace. The large en-suite bathroom is beautifully appointed and spacious, with a bath as well as a separate Italian-style shower cubicle and contemporary tiling. Bedroom 1 is configured as a double, while bedroom 2 has two single beds. The main bathroom is another spacious, well-equipped facility, again with modern fittings including a bath and a separate Italian-style shower. SECOND FLOOR The attractive staircase with its turned spindle balustrade continues to the second floor. There are two further large bedrooms, with space further enhanced by high vaulted beams in both rooms. As with the lower-floor bedrooms, two pairs of French doors in each room form Juliet balconies and enjoy again the ever-changing harbour views. Period features are found throughout the property, and in Bedroom 3 there is a decorative cast-iron fireplace with surround and a marble fireplace. This floor measures 38 m² (404 ft²). The furniture in the apartment is not included in the sale but is available by separate negotiation. EXTERIOR At the roadside, there is a front-area where chairs and tables can be placed, allowing, for example, café customers to use them. At the rear of the building, leading to the stunning main lounge, there is a sea-facing terrace with space for tables and chairs, offering distant views over the Bristol Channel, Capstone and Lantern Hill, the Bristol Channel and the distant Welsh coast. Parking permits are available from North Devon District Council for Cheyne Beach car park located behind the property. SERVICES All main services are connected to the building. Services have been separated to provide independent supplies to the ground-floor and upper-floor zones. The two units have separate power supplies and only the ground-floor unit has a gas supply. There is a single water supply to the building but it is sub-metered accordingly. The property benefits from two parking permits for Cheyne Beach car park, located near the apartment. Permits are issued by Ilfracombe Council and allow registration of two vehicle number plates. The current cost of permits is around £360 per year. For owners operating holiday lets, vehicle registration details can be amended each week if required, with an administration fee of £25 + VAT payable to the town hall for plate changes. COUNCIL TAX The property is subject to non-residential rates, the ground floor having a rateable value of £6,600 and the first and second floors a rateable value of £5,800. Both zones of the property would be eligible for the government’s small business relief scheme, currently at 100% relief. (Please check your own circumstances to see if you might be eligible.)
