This place has 26 bedrooms and is designed in the Art Deco style. The building sits on 3.6 acres of land in East-the-Water, near Bideford.
It’s called Woodtown House, and is one of many properties being auctioned. Clive Emson, a top property auctioneer, is hosting the auction. This event is their second auction of 2025.
The main house boasts lovely gardens. There are also storage buildings and a large former workshop on the land.

He suggests the home has many potential uses. It could serve as a large family home, holiday apartments, or a guest house. Retaining its function as a care home is also possible, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions.
