Set at the end of a long sweeping drive, Youldon House is a beautifully presented Grade II listed Devon longhouse occupying about 4.6 acres. The adaptable five-bedroom layout includes three reception rooms, a generous kitchen/breakfast room and three bath/shower rooms, with principal rooms enjoying uninterrupted southerly views over mature gardens, a wildlife pond and paddock. Outdoor amenities include a heated swimming pool with bar and plant room, a floodlit all‑weather tennis court and extensive parking with a double garage.
The plot combines period character with modern efficiencies: exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces and vaulted principal bedroom are complemented by solar panels, an air‑source heat pump (which helps heat the pool), and a new borehole with filtration. A modern 60’ x 30’ agricultural barn with power and a two‑storey stone outbuilding add practical storage and clear potential for further use, subject to consents.
Important practical points are stated plainly. The property is Grade II listed — this secures character but will restrict external and internal alterations and may complicate conversions. The stone barn has conversion potential only subject to planning permission; no application is in place. Water is supplied from a private borehole with filtration and drainage is private; heating currently includes oil central heating alongside renewables. The EPC is exempt due to listed status.
This home will suit buyers seeking a substantial family house or an equestrian/landed hobby estate within easy reach of Barnstaple, the North Devon coast and Exmoor. Expect high upkeep typical of a large historic property and to factor in listed‑building consents and planning for any major change. Chain free and very private, it offers rare countryside seclusion close to regional amenities.
