Set in open Mid Devon countryside just outside Coldridge, Fursdon Barn is a substantial three-storey farmhouse with generous, high-ceilinged rooms and countryside views. Recently redecorated and newly carpeted, the house mixes period character—exposed beams and a large inglenook fireplace—with practical modern comforts such as double glazing and oil-fired central heating. The layout includes a large reception room, traditional farmhouse kitchen and flexible living space across three floors.
Sleeping six double bedrooms (two with en-suites) and served by a total of four bathrooms, the house suits a large family, multi-generational living or owners seeking space for guests. The property sits within around five acres of gardens and three paddocks, with the option to purchase up to twenty acres in total for equestrian or smallholding use. A private, sweeping drive leads to ample parking and a substantial double garage/workshop.
Practical points to note: the property is freehold and offered chain-free, with mains electricity and water but private drainage via a septic tank. Heating is oil-fired and broadband speeds are very slow — this remote setting has excellent mobile signal but limited fixed internet. Council Tax is band F and there is a non-refundable buyer compliance fee once an offer is accepted. Additional adjacent land and a separate barn are available by separate negotiation.
This is a rare rural opportunity for buyers who value space, privacy and outdoor scope. While the house is presented in good decorative order, purchasers should consider the practical ongoing costs of oil heating, septic maintenance and the limited broadband service when assessing suitability for modern home-working or intensive equestrian use.
