Longways is a substantial detached Devon longhouse full of period character, arranged over multiple levels and set down a quiet no-through lane. The house offers flexible accommodation across six bedrooms and four bath/shower rooms, easily adaptable for a large family or dual occupation. Two reception rooms with stone inglenooks, a country kitchen with Rayburn and well-tended secluded gardens create a strong rural feel.
Practical advantages include generous off-street parking, an integral garage/workshop and a detached stone barn, both with scope for conversion to additional living space subject to planning permission. The plot of approximately 0.37 acre and backing onto open fields provides privacy, a south aspect and potential to add solar panels. There is no upward chain.
Buyers should note material limitations: the property has an EPC rating of G, oil-fired heating and an older double-glazing installation. Water is from a private borehole and drainage is to a septic tank. Broadband is very slow and mobile signal only average, which may affect home working. Council Tax is Band F and the house will need ongoing maintenance and sympathetic updating in places.
This home will suit purchasers seeking a characterful rural residence with conversion potential — families, multi-generational households or buyers prepared to invest in improvement and energy upgrades. Viewing is recommended to appreciate the layout, gardens and scope the barns offer.
