This detached freehold holiday lodge offers a rare opportunity to own a tranquil retreat in a beautiful, wooded setting, perfect for escaping the stresses of modern life. Offering 12 months of use (though not for full-time residential living), this property provides the perfect haven away from the noise of traffic, the distractions of artificial light, and the pressures of daily life. Surrounded by nature, this lodge is designed to bring a sense of calm and peace, allowing the lucky purchaser to reconnect with the natural world. Available for sale with no onward chain, the lodge is sold fully furnished, providing excellent value and convenience for the new owner.
The 2 Bedroom lodge (1 En-suite) offers generous and light-filled accommodation, with striking vaulted ceilings and an open-plan living space that creates a sense of openness and serenity. From every window, guests can enjoy uninterrupted views of the surrounding woodland, making it feel as though nature is always just a step away. The large sun deck, wrapping around 2 sides of the lodge provides the perfect space for al fresco dining, enjoying a quiet moment, or simply soaking in the surrounding beauty.
Set within approximately 0.3 acres of private grounds, the lodge is surrounded by attractive, well-maintained lawns – an ideal area for children to play and explore. The peaceful surroundings and abundant green space create a safe and tranquil environment for outdoor activities or relaxation. Situated within the Forest Lakes site, a secluded 50-acre estate rich in young woodland, vibrant flora and diverse fauna, this property is a nature lover’s dream. It’s common to see a wide variety of wildlife, both around the lodge and throughout the site, allowing residents to fully immerse themselves in the natural environment. The property is bordered by woodlands, farmland and 30 acres of Culm grassland, all of which are managed by the Devon Wildlife Trust, ensuring the area remains a haven for local wildlife and a sanctuary for those seeking peace.
Forest Lakes is located just 1.5 miles from the picturesque village of Woolsery, where you’ll find a welcoming local pub / restaurant (The Farmers Arms), a shop and a highly regarded fish and chip shop, offering everything you need while still being in a tranquil and secluded location. Whether you're looking for a frequent escape from the pressures of modern life or an occasional weekend retreat to enjoy nature at its finest, this property offers it all.
Woolfardisworthy is known as the village with two names and lies inland approximately 600 feet above sea level. The country lanes are narrow and wind upwards and onwards through steep banked hedgerows. As you come down into Woolfardisworthy you can see the medieval tower of All Hallows Church on the skyline. Famous for its annual fair, it’s a really nice community that has earned its nickname as ‘the friendly village’ effortlessly. The village has an excellent school, shop, community hall, & listed thatched roofed inn that has been completely refurbished. It’s also close to the South West Coast Path for endlessly beautiful walks.
With short distance of the Atlantic Highway (A39), Woolfardisworthy is well served by the main feeder route across the region leading to Wadebridge in Cornwall to the south-west and to the M5 by Tiverton in the east. A bus service provides access to North Devon’s ‘capital’, Barnstaple. Bus users can also reach Westward Ho!, Bideford, Braunton, Appledore, Croyde, Okehampton, Holsworthy, Great Torrington and Ilfracombe.
Directions
From Bideford, head along the A39 in the direction of Bude. After passing Clovelly Cross, continue for about 4 miles until you reach the top of a hill on Bursdon Moor. Turn left following signs for West Yagland. Stay on this road for just over 1.5 miles and you'll encounter a sharp right hand bend at a small junction, with Gorvin Farm on your left hand side. Take the right fork, then look for a left hand turn across a small bridge. Keep following the road and you’ll find the entrance to Forest Lakes on your right hand side. Continue along the gravel road, and at the signpost for Forest Lakes, turn left. The property will be on your left hand side towards the end of the track.
