Little Hackworthy is a Grade II* cob farmhouse set in about 2.7 acres, offering abundant period character and far-reaching rural views around ten miles from Exeter. The house preserves rare historic features — decorative plasterwork, timber mullion window, exposed beams and a large kitchen fireplace with oil-fired Aga — creating a distinctive family home for those seeking authenticity and space.
The accommodation is generous with large reception rooms, four double bedrooms and versatile outbuildings including a substantial detached barn/studio with vaulted ceiling and exposed timbers. The barn has clear conversion potential but would require listed-building consents and planning permission before any change of use or alteration. There is no onward chain, and parking is available beside the barn via a private driveway.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II* listed (which will complicate alterations), heated by an oil boiler, drains to a private soakaway, and currently has an EPC rating of E. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is average. Access is along a half‑mile farm track, and some bedrooms have reduced head height due to historic rooflines.
This house will suit buyers who value historic fabric, large grounds and rural privacy and are prepared for conservation-led ownership and ongoing maintenance. It is less well suited to purchasers seeking immediate modern connectivity or a turnkey, low-maintenance home without planning or listed‑building constraints.
