Set just outside Constantine village, this Grade II listed four-bedroom farmhouse (built 1829) sits in about 11 acres of fields, paddock and woodland. The principal rooms retain strong period character: a 30' lounge/diner with exposed beams, granite wall and inglenook fireplace with a multi-fuel stove, and a kitchen with an oil-fired Aga that leads to a conservatory. There is generous parking around a central courtyard and extensive outbuildings including a large barn, an attached cowshed and a piggery.
The land and outbuildings are the property's main opportunity. The cowshed, garage with room above and other buildings offer scope for conversion to an annexe or additional accommodation, subject to planning and listed-building consent. The plot is well suited to hobby farming, equestrian use or someone seeking long-term development potential in an attractive rural setting.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the house is Grade II listed, which will restrict alterations and may increase repair costs. Walls are original granite with assumed no insulation, heating is oil-fired with a boiler and radiators, and double glazing appears to pre-date 2002. There is a single bathroom serving four bedrooms. Flood risk is assessed as medium for the area; purchasers should satisfy themselves of any insurance and mitigation implications.
This home suits purchasers who value character, space and rural privacy and who are comfortable managing a listed property and substantial grounds. It is less suitable for buyers seeking a turn-key modern home or those unable to take on listed-building constraints and ongoing maintenance of older stone construction.
