North Woodtown Farm is a substantial, characterful thatched farmhouse set in almost an acre of gardens and orchard, tucked down a quiet no-through lane just under a mile from Dolton. The house blends late-16th-century fabric with a comprehensive renovation completed in 2004: exposed timbers, stone fireplaces with woodburners, an electric AGA in a large kitchen/dining room, oak doors and ground-floor underfloor heating. A south-facing paved courtyard and formal lawns create sheltered outdoor living and attractive views over rolling North Devon countryside.
The layout suits family life: four bedrooms including a principal full-height bedroom with en suite, three reception rooms and three bathrooms, plus an office linking the house to a large traditional barn. The barn offers genuine conversion potential for additional accommodation or ancillary use, subject to obtaining necessary listed-building and planning consents. Ample off-street parking and useful outbuildings (greenhouse, shed, fruit cage) support a self-sufficient, rural lifestyle.
Important practical points: the property is Grade II listed, which will constrain alterations and will require specialist consent for changes. Heating is oil-fired with radiators (and ground-floor underfloor heating); oil supply and future running costs should be considered. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal only average — relevant for home working. Council tax is high. Overall, this is a rare period home for buyers who value historic character and countryside privacy and who are prepared to manage the implications of listed status and rural utilities.
