West Hill is a substantial Grade II listed Devon longhouse offering five-bedroom family accommodation and immediate smallholding potential. Set in about 8.45 acres (Lot 1) with productive pasture, a traditional farmyard and adaptable range of stone and modern outbuildings, the house retains historic character including exposed timbers, inglenook fireplaces and a thatched roof.
Practical benefits include planning consent (Ref. 22/01661/FULL) for conversion of the former threshing barn to a residential annexe and consent for the cellar barn as holiday accommodation, a solar PV array producing FIT income, and useful equestrian access to nearby bridleways and Eggesford Forest. The yard contains stables, Dutch barn, implement stores and concrete yards offering scope for agricultural, equestrian or tourism uses.
Buyers should be aware of material constraints: the farmhouse’s Grade II listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate conversion or repairs; the private drainage system may require attention or upgrading; some agricultural roof sheeting may contain asbestos; and broadband speeds are very slow. Heating is oil-fired and the thatched roof and historic fabric will require ongoing maintenance and listed-building sensitive works.
West Hill will suit purchasers seeking a character farmhouse with land — families, smallholders or those wanting a rural tourism or equestrian base. It is offered freehold with vacant possession and with further adjoining lots available for purchase if a larger holding is required.
