Anderton Farmhouse is a rare riverside Grade II listed farmhouse dating from the early 17th century, offered with level garden and direct River Tavy frontage. The main house retains strong period character — exposed beams, inglenook fireplaces, a 17th‑century mullion window and vaulted principal bedrooms — set in a secluded hamlet on a substantial plot. A detached open-fronted garage and parking are included; a further 25 acres, barn and fishing rights are available by separate negotiation.
The house requires renovation and modernisation: heating is by wood burners and night-storage electric heaters, hot water is from an immersion tank, windows are single-glazed wooden frames, and the property uses a private spring and septic tank. There is currently only one family bathroom (plus separate W/C). Grade II listed status protects historic fabric but will restrict alterations and could complicate major works or extensions.
This property will suit buyers seeking a characterful country home with strong restoration potential — families wanting space and river access, or buyers who value solitude and outdoor pursuits. The location is very quiet with very low crime, but broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average, so plan for limited connectivity. Council tax is above average, and listed constraints should be investigated early with a conservation specialist.
If you value privacy, scenic river frontage and historic detail and are prepared for a thoughtful renovation, Anderton offers rare long-term potential. If you require modern open-plan living, high-speed broadband or straightforward extension options, the listed status and current condition are significant considerations.
