Set in the Mid Devon countryside, Great Huish Farm is a Grade II listed farmhouse with two semi-detached cottages and about 39.56 acres of ring-fenced pasture. The principal house combines period character (part 16th–17th century fabric) with modern systems: underfloor heating to the ground floor, a 4.5kW solar array linked to a Tesla battery (installed 2023), and a 26kW biomass boiler. Two cottages have been used as holiday lets, providing immediate income or multi‑generational living options.
The holding includes substantial traditional and modern farm buildings, a menage (20m x 40m), and a barn with planning permission for a one‑bed holiday conversion; building works have started and been signed off by building regulations. The land is mainly gentle pasture with a small area of woodland and stream frontage, offering potential for livestock, equestrian use, smallholding or amenity purposes. Road links to the A30 and M5 are straightforward, with Exeter city about 15 minutes away.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the farmhouse is Grade II listed, which will complicate alterations and require listed‑building consent for many works. Broadband speeds are very slow (standard broadband only). Heating relies on oil plus the biomass system; there is a private borehole and private drainage with a mains backup. The buildings and land offer development or change‑of‑use potential, but alternative uses will need the necessary planning permissions.
This property suits buyers seeking a large, private country holding with immediate income potential and scope to finish the approved barn conversion, repurpose outbuildings or continue productive agricultural use. It is not a low‑maintenance suburban home: listed status, rural services and the scale of the estate mean ongoing management and clear planning awareness are required.
