Set within tranquil Goveton countryside, this substantial stone-built home blends period character with family-friendly space. The ground floor centres on a farmhouse kitchen with a Rayburn and a decorative 19th-century wood burner; open-plan living and a large bay-windowed sitting room create bright, sociable spaces for everyday life and entertaining. Four generous bedrooms spread over multiple floors give flexibility for family living, home working or guest accommodation.
Outdoor life is a clear strength: a large, well-kept private garden, mature planting and uninterrupted countryside views provide a peaceful backdrop and plenty of room for children and pets. Practical perks include a single garage, communal parking and FTTP broadband for fast home internet. Kingsbridge is about a nine-minute drive away for shops, schools and amenities while local primary and secondary schools have Good Ofsted ratings.
Buyers should note material constraints: the property is Grade II* listed which will restrict alterations and could complicate conversions or major works. The decorative wood burner is not currently usable without chimney clearing and lining. Mobile phone coverage is poor on several networks. Council Tax band G makes annual running costs relatively high. Drainage is to a local sewerage treatment plant rather than a mains sewer.
This is a strong choice for a family or someone seeking a character home in a peaceful setting who accepts listed‑building management and the need for any specialist repairs. The house offers immediate liveability with clear potential to personalise and improve within the constraints of its listed status.
