A rare surviving Devon longhouse dating from the 1600s, this stone farmhouse sits in about 5 acres of lawns, orchard, paddock, coppice and a pond, with an additional 10.5 acres available by separate negotiation. The house offers flexible, multi‑level accommodation across roughly 3,260 sq ft: five bedrooms, three bathrooms and a variety of reception rooms with original fireplaces and exposed granite walls. Solar panels and double glazing are in place; heating is by oil-fired boiler and radiators.
The grounds are a principal asset: private drive and yard, stable block/loose boxes, large stone barn/garage and other outbuildings provide genuine equestrian or small‑holding potential. The pond (circa 8ft maximum depth) with a small island and the apple orchard add immediate appeal for country living or a countryside business such as B&B or holiday let. The property sits in a quiet valley setting with low local crime and easy road access to Tavistock, Launceston and the A30.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: broadband speeds are very slow, water is supplied from a private borehole and drainage is private, which may affect connection and running costs. The house is historic and will need ongoing maintenance; internal insulation is present but many fixtures, services and systems are unverified and could require updating. The additional acreage and large modern outbuilding are offered separately and would increase operational scope and running costs if purchased.
This farmhouse will suit buyers seeking a substantial country home with scope for equestrian use, small‑holding or visitor accommodation, and those prepared for the maintenance and service considerations that accompany a 17th‑century property. Its setting and flexible layout present clear potential for multi‑generational living or an income-generating conversion, subject to necessary checks and updates.
