This exceptional Grade II listed farmhouse is a beautifully preserved example of historic architecture, rich in character and abundant in original period features. Nestled within a picturesque rural landscape, it offers an enchanting blend of heritage, charm and comfortable family living.
The ground floor immediately impresses with exposed timber beams and original stone fireplaces that create a warm and inviting atmosphere. A wealth of retained features reflect the home’s history, including bread ovens, a double creamery hob, original Victorian windows, parquet flooring alongside original oak floorboards, slate shelving, traditional timber doors and a solid oak front door.
The accommodation is both versatile and generous, comprising a living room, sitting room, garden room, study and kitchen. Further practical spaces include a utility room, shower room, old dairy, rear pantry and two stores, offering flexibility for modern living while preserving the farmhouse’s authentic character.
Upstairs, five well-proportioned bedrooms showcase charming period details, including exposed beams and delightful architectural quirks. Two bathrooms serve the first floor, which is accessed via two separate staircases, a distinctive feature typical of homes of this era.
Externally, the farmhouse is equally captivating. A slate roof crowns the rendered period façade, complemented by charming windows and an impressive oversized wooden entrance door, evoking the timeless appeal of a quintessential country home.
Set within approaching two acres, the property includes a large garage, stables, cobbled yard, a range of outbuildings, paddocks, and the traditional front and rear gardens further enhance the idyllic setting.
The mature Devon orchards home a range of trees including apple (eating and cider), plum, mulberry, medler, quince, pear, fig, walnut, cherry and mazzard, perfect for home baking and cooking, making the home self sufficient. The fully working well in the cobbled yard adds to the country charm.
The property also benefits from 14 Q-Cells 295W solar panels positioned within the garden, generating a healthy return, alongside a 6.5kW battery storage system located in one of the stores, combining historic charm with modern efficiency.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly special home that offers both a tangible connection to the past and the tranquillity of countryside living.
