Alswear, South Molton, North Devon, EX36, EX36 4LH

Welcome To The Butchers Arms!

OFFERED WITH NO FORWARD CHAIN!

The Butchers Arms is an impressive and versitile building that was once a pub, as its name implies. The property offers ample space spread over three floors, with the ground floor currently serving as a two-bedroom dwelling and the first and second floor functioning as a spacious, four-bedroom holiday cottage that has undergone redecoration and upgrades to the soft furnishings by the owner. In addition, there is a handy, self-contained studio which is currently set up as a crafts room but has previously been used as a studio apartment with the ability to generate revenue. The property also has potential for dual family occupancy if desired.

The Butchers Arms is in the charming village of Alswear, just three miles from the bustling market town of South Molton. The town offers an array of shopping, social, and banking options, as well as schools up to the secondary level. With a rich history dating back to Saxon times, South Molton boasts beautiful architecture, unique shops, a museum, and weekly markets on Thursdays and Saturdays. The A361 North Devon Link Road provides quick access to the regional center of Barnstaple to the west and Tiverton and the M5 (Junction 27) to the east, bypassing South Molton. Tiverton Parkway also has a railway station on the London Paddington line. Visitors can easily explore Exmoor National Park or the stunning North Devon coastline with its towering cliffs and picturesque sandy beaches, all conveniently accessible by car.
