A rare opportunity to acquire a heritage Devon farmhouse, unlisted, with estuary views, 1.27 acres and annex potential - quietly positioned yet well-connected to Exeter, the Southwest and London

Situation - Set within an acre of paddock, orchard and copse, Tiverlands Farm is believed to have its origins in the 16th century, then shaped over hundreds of years of rural Devon life. Approached via a quiet lane and surrounded by rolling farmland, Tiverlands Farm offers rural seclusion that belies its easy proximity to the city of Exeter, the estuaries of the Exe and the Teign, Starcross, Dawlish Warren beach, Topsham, the Southwest Coast Path and the Exe Estuary Trail.

Description - The house retains its thick walls, farmhouse windows and unmistakable warmth. Cob homes sit comfortably within the landscape, cool in summer and naturally insulated in winter. The ambience is bright and airy, fresh and dry. Originally part of the Powerderham Castle estate, Tiverlands Farm has been preserved without over-modernisation, so that it remains one of the area’s notable early farmhouses of character. The ground floor has been sympathetically opened up to create light and airy spaces for contemporary family life, while the top floor currently divides into four doubles and one single bedroom to accommodate family and friends in comfort. A particular draw is the detached double garage with full-height upper storey and rooflight, offering excellent potential for conversion to ancillary accommodation or studio space, subject to planning.

Accommodation - Inside, the rooms follow the gentle irregularities of cob, with soft curves, deep window reveals and a palpable sense of permanence. The principal living spaces are centred around the traditional farmhouse hearth - a working fireplace in the central dining room, open to the kitchen for relaxed meals together, and a log burner in the main sitting room for cosy winter evenings. Upstairs, the two front-facing bedrooms have morning light and far-reaching views across your land to the estuary beyond, a significant wetland for migratory birds. The west-facing rear bedrooms attract soft evening light, overlooking the farmhouse’s walled garden. The guide price reflects the scope for the purchaser to add value through enhancements – it’s a property to grow into, as and when desired, shaped to suit the new owners’ lifestyle at your own pace.
