Set within about six acres of gardens and grounds, this Grade II listed Devon house is one of the village’s most prominent homes. The main house (circa pre-1900, cob construction) offers abundant period character across approximately 2,164 sq ft, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms and a detached annexe. Outbuildings, stables and a party barn add practical scope for family life, hobbies or small equestrian use.
The setting suits buyers seeking countryside privacy and space: a huge plot in a quiet hamlet with very low crime, local pub and village amenities nearby, plus good primary and secondary schools within reasonable distance. Practical updates are partly in place — double glazing was installed after 2002 — but heating is largely by portable electric heaters and wood logs are the main fuel, so expect ongoing running and upgrade costs.
Important constraints are factual and significant. The Grade II listing will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance and permissions. Flooding risk is medium for the area, and the property carries an EPC rating of D. Council tax is described as quite expensive. Broadband and mobile signal are average, and the remoter location means buyers should factor travel times.
This house will appeal to families or purchasers seeking a characterful country home with substantial grounds and outbuildings, who are prepared for listed-building responsibilities and potential energy/comfort upgrades. It offers rare space and scope in a picturesque setting but requires realistic budgeting for maintenance, heating improvements and any permitted alterations.
