Adjacent to the main reception is a bright ground floor bedroom, which could also make an ideal hobby room, home office, or additional snug.

Further on the kitchen/breakfast room has a charming farmhouse attraction and also provides access to the study, breakfast seating area and veranda beyond.

The property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, cleverly divided into two separate upstairs wings. The first upper wing features two generous bedrooms including a large primary that benefits from privacy and excellent natural light. The second upper wing contains two further double bedrooms—ideal for children, guests, or even as a self-contained annexe area.

There are multiple outbuildings on site, providing ample parking, storage or workshop space, and the solar panels fitted on the roof provide the home with good energy efficiency and sustainability. The home is surrounded by mature lawns and in total the plot extends in excess of 1.5 acres, established shrubs, and private pathways—offering a peaceful outlook and a safe, enclosed space for children or pets to explore. Park Lodge is a haven for wildlife, with regular sightings of roe and red deer, hares in nearby fields, and frequently visited by woodpeckers, nuthatches, tits, sparrows, thrushes, finches, and even the occasional weasel and vole in the garden.

Park Lodge is set within the peaceful and private Stevenstone Estate, a historic and picturesque area on the edge of Great Torrington, in the heart of North Devon’s unspoilt countryside. The estate itself offers a tranquil, rural setting with leafy lanes, rolling fields, and a strong sense of community, making it ideal for those seeking space, nature, and privacy.

The nearby market town of Great Torrington (approximately 2 miles away) provides a range of local amenities, including independent shops, cafés, pubs, supermarkets, a community hospital, and schools. It’s a town steeped in history, known for its Civil War heritage and vibrant local arts scene, including The Plough Arts Centre, which hosts theatre, cinema, and exhibitions.

For nature lovers, the surrounding area is rich in walking and cycling routes. The Tarka Trail, one of the UK’s longest continuous traffic-free walking and cycling paths, runs close by and offers spectacular views across the Torridge Valley. Rhs Garden Rosemoor, a renowned 65-acre garden, is just a short drive away and is a major attraction in the area.
