Historic farmstead with barns and extensive private paddocks, perfect for rural living.
Five-bedroom farmhouse with two reception rooms and two bathrooms
Set below Chinkwell Tor on the edge of Widecombe-in-the-Moor, this substantial Grade II farmhouse and cluster of stone outbuildings sit within about 3.31 acres of paddocks, lawns and dry-stone-walled enclosures. The main house retains strong 16th–18th century character — exposed beams, an inglenook fireplace with wood-burner, studded oak doors and generous ceiling heights — with five bedrooms, two reception rooms and two bathrooms arranged over two storeys. Several stone barns, a byre and loose boxes surround a parking area with room for multiple cars.
The property’s south-facing aspects give long rural views from three bedrooms, the landing, kitchen and sitting room. Two of the barns are easily accessible and could serve as garages or studios; others offer scope for conversion or practical agricultural use, subject to the necessary listed-building and planning consents. The garden terraces, pond and mature trees provide a private, sheltered setting for family life and outdoor hobbies.
Important practical points: the whole group is listed Grade II, which will restrict alterations and may complicate conversions. The stone walls are uninsulated, the main heating is oil-fired boiler and the property has double glazing installed before 2002. Mobile signal is absent and broadband is very slow. The site lies within Dartmoor National Park and is in an area with high flood risk. Council tax is described as quite expensive. These factors suit buyers seeking a historic, rural lifestyle who understand the responsibilities and running costs of an older farmhouse and a cluster of listed outbuildings.
