SOUTHCOMBE HOUSE,ROAD PAST SOUTHCOMBE BARN,WIDECOMBE IN THE MOOR,TQ13 7TU
TQ13 7TU
6 bed 3 bath Detached
Broad-acre family farmhouse with guest-cottage income and sweeping moorland views.
Grade II listed longhouse with Georgian extension
Set into the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this substantial Grade II listed longhouse sits in nearly five acres of gardens, meadow and productive outbuildings. The stone farmhouse combines early 16th-century fabric with a later Georgian extension, offering generous reception space, multiple bedrooms and versatile attic accommodation.
The grounds are a major asset: a walled kitchen garden, polytunnel, orchard, chicken run, stables and a five-acre wildflower meadow celebrated in the National Garden Scheme. Outbuildings include a tractor shed and separate guest unit (The Apiary) which currently generates notable rental income, adding flexibility for extended family or a hospitality venture. Off-street parking and an electric car charging point are practical additions.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and can complicate repairs and planning; the house also requires sympathetic updating and modernisation in places to suit contemporary living. Mobile signal is absent and broadband speeds are slow, so this location is best for those who can manage remote connectivity or prioritise rural tranquillity.
This is primarily a family-orientated rural home for buyers who value history, outdoor space and self-sufficiency — or an owner-occupier seeking an income-producing guest unit. Expect higher-than-average council tax and listed-building running costs alongside the rewards of a peaceful, elevated moorland setting and exceptional outdoor amenity.
