The Property - Approached down a long private drive between Devon hedge banks and set beautifully within its own grounds, this detached character residence offers seclusion and privacy. The property is thought to be around 200 years old and boasts a wealth of character features including beamed ceilings, inglenook fireplaces and exposed stone walls.
The accommodation is spacious and versatile throughout, currently providing four reception rooms and three bedrooms. The original farmhouse has been the subject of considerable improvement by the current vendors, including a new heating and hot water system with the option to connect additional or alternative energy sources at a later date; a water treatment plant for the private water supply; replacement Accoya windows to all bedrooms; and the 110m long drive has been resurfaced. There is much more scope for a new owner to make their own mark on this lovely farmhouse. In particular, the addition of a four-room single storey extension which has recently been completed offers the potential to create a large kitchen/dining/family room, or even a ground floor annexe to provide for multi-generational living.
There is a superb range of outbuildings that offer potential for conversion for a variety of uses, (STPP), including home office, studio, holiday cottages, or a separate annexe for a dependent relative. The property stands beautifully within gardens and grounds of around 2.46 acres, which have been managed to encourage wildlife. There is an excellent mix of formal garden areas, a mature orchard, a vegetable garden and three wildlife ponds. There is additionally a paddock which has the potential to provide a site for camping or glamping (STPP).
Only with a full internal inspection can you start to appreciate this stunning character property and potential it presents.

A rose hedge separates the vegetable area from the more formal lawned area of garden, with two interconnecting wildlife ponds, which provide habitat for frogs, toads and newts. The grounds are surrounded by, and include a number of mature trees and traditional Devon hedge banks, which add to the seclusion and privacy. The outside terrace, with views cross the valley, is accessed from the garden room, and via steps up from the lawn, and provides an idyllic and convenient area for al-fresco dining.
