Kerswell Farmhouse is a restored Grade II listed 16th‑century thatched farmhouse set in about 10 acres of Devon countryside. The main house combines historic features—exposed beams, inglenook fireplace and stone flooring—with recently completed renovation work, creating comfortable family living across substantial reception space and six bedrooms. A self‑contained annex provides flexible accommodation for guests, multi‑generational use, or potential rental income.
The estate includes a large garden, two woodlands, a mature orchard, a pond, stream and extensive pasture — ideal for nature lovers or small‑scale hobby farming. A substantial barn sits on the plot and may be convertible to additional living accommodation subject to planning permission (STCPP), presenting long‑term development potential for an informed buyer.
Important practical points are stated plainly: the property is Grade II listed, which can restrict alterations and will complicate certain works; broadband speeds are very slow; and council tax is high (Band G). The tenure is leasehold with 1,865 years remaining — essentially equivalent to freehold for most buyers but legally a leasehold title. These factors suit buyers seeking character, space and rural privacy rather than immediate modern connectivity or unrestricted remodelling.
