Woodbridge Farmhouse is a striking Grade II* thatched farmhouse dating from around 1500, set in roughly 0.8 acres in an attractive East Devon hamlet. The house retains strong period character—exposed beams, a Bath stone fireplace, window seats and a turret staircase—and benefits from a bespoke kitchen installed in 2017 and a recent re‑thatch. Adjoining outbuildings and a thatched outbuilding offer genuine scope for conversion (subject to listed‑building consent).
This is a renovation project for a buyer who values historic fabric and rural privacy. Parts of the house require modernisation and refurbishment to bring accommodation up to contemporary standards; services include mains electricity, oil central heating, private spring water and septic drainage. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average, which should be considered if remote working is important.
A further 8.16 acres of pasture is available by separate negotiation; it lies close by and has its own spring and a stream, but the water supply will be disconnected if sold separately. Note that the property lies in a high flood‑risk area and its Grade II* listing will restrict alterations and may complicate works. Guide prices: Lot 1 (house) £625,000; Lot 2 (land) £75,000; Whole £700,000.
Practical advantages include a large garden, parking, useful timber and brick outbuildings and very low local crime. The location is rural and peaceful yet within about 4 miles of Honiton and roughly 20 miles from Exeter; Colyton Grammar and other local schools are accessible for families seeking good schooling.
