Six‑bedroom farmhouse with 10.7 acres, outbuildings and annexe permission.
Grade II listed early 17th‑century farmhouse with period features
Mount Stephen Farm is a rare Grade II listed farmhouse with extensive outbuildings and about 10.71 acres of land, set to the south overlooking the Otter Valley and Dumpdon Hill. The main house offers four bedrooms (one en suite), multiple reception rooms including an inglenook‑fronted principal reception and separate music room, plus a two‑bedroom barn conversion (Swallow Barn) finished with modern energy features. Swallow Barn benefits from an air source heat pump and zoned underfloor heating, combining period character with more efficient heating.
The property is arranged around sheltered courtyards with terraced gardens, kitchen garden, greenhouses and paddocks — excellent for family life, small‑scale livestock or equestrian hobbies. A double open‑fronted garage, stone garden store and substantial workshop/shed provision add practical storage and parking. Planning permission has been granted to convert the single‑storey barn into a one‑bedroom annexe, offering clear scope for an income stream or extended family accommodation.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed which restricts alterations and may complicate renovation or extension work. Some historic features require sensitive maintenance (inglenook fireplaces and exposed beams); one wood burning stove is not currently working. The property sits in a remote hamlet setting — broadband is fast but mobile signal is average, and local services are limited. Council Tax is high and local area crime statistics are reported as higher than average.
This home will suit buyers seeking authentic period character, generous land and versatile outbuildings — families, hobby farmers or those wanting a countryside base with potential for an annexe or further outbuilding use. Buyers should budget for listed‑property upkeep and expect the planning/consent process to be more involved than for a non‑listed property.
