Great Wadham represents a most attractive residential holding enjoying a delightful rural position with fine countryside views. The property has been in the ownership of the current vendors’ family for over 55 years and this sale thereby affords prospective purchasers a rare opportunity to acquire an unspoilt and adaptable holding, originally operated as a traditional dairy farm although in more recent years utilised primarily for the grazing of cattle, sheep and fodder production.
The holding is centered upon a substantial detached Grade II listed Devon longhouse, believed to date originally from the early 1600’s, with later 19th and 20th century alterations. The farmhouse provides spacious six bedroomed accommodation and, despite now requiring complete renovation, undoubtedly offers the potential to create a superb country residence enjoying an outstanding rural setting.
An extensive range of adaptable traditional and modern farm buildings may afford potential, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents, for further enlargement of the house or for conversion to residential, commercial, holiday or other ancillary uses, whilst also appealing to those prospective purchasers with agricultural interests. A pre-application enquiry response has recently been obtained from the local planning authority which indicates that there may be potential for the conversion of three agricultural barns, subject to any application complying with the relevant planning and material considerations. Please refer to the ‘Town & Country Planning’ section below.
The farmstead enjoys an elevated position overlooking a predominantly wooded valley, well positioned within its own land which principally comprises traditional pasture sloping down to the pretty Crooked Oak River. An attractive parcel of mixed deciduous woodland is situated on the opposite side of the valley. The land may be well suited to a variety of agricultural, equestrian, conservation, sporting or other amenity uses.
Great Wadham extends in total to about 91.43 Acres (37 Ha) and is offered for sale as a whole, or in up to 4 lots as described within these sale particulars.
Note: A further pasture paddock, shown coloured yellow on the identification plan, may also be available by negotiation.

Accessed from the quiet council road over a private entrance drive, Great Wadham occupies an elevated and readily accessible rural position lying to the south of the Exmoor National Park between South Molton and Tiverton.
