Former bakehouse overlooking glistening river for sale in Devon
A refurbished former bakehouse dating back to the early 1800s is for sale in Devon.
Perched on the western bank of Bow Creek, The Old Bakehouse was once two working mills used to bake bread for the large workforce and local area. The waterside home has been used as an Airbnb rental for the past eight years, but could now be yours.
Built of local stone under a slate roof, it can sleep more than 12 people and is largely open-plan with the living room, dining room and kitchen connected via door-less openings. From wooden beams to wood-burning stoves and old roof timbers, historical features can be found throughout.
On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, all complete with ensuite bathrooms. Meanwhile, the second floor is made up of the principal bedroom and another smaller room. There's a neutral colour palette throughout much of the home, allowing new owners to put their own stamp on it.
Backing onto the creek, the outside space comprises decking that extends out above the high water mark of the river and a part-walled garden with a terraced lawn and pretty flowerbeds. The rear of the property includes a balustraded decking, fitted with two metal ladders for climbing in and out of boats.
'This exceptional waterfront gem is nestled along a scenic creek that leads to the River Dart,' says Mark Proctor, South West Regional Partner at Knight Frank. 'The property offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and modern convenience. Residents enjoy unparalleled views and direct water access along with modern amenities such as an EV charging point, and there are also some excellent pubs nearby.
'The property's prime location ensures excellent rental potential for savvy investors and the separate barn also has planning to create further accommodation, making this a very desirable home.'
This property is on the market for £1,250,000 with Knight Frank.
