Summary - NORTH WOODTOWN FARM DOLTON WINKLEIGH EX19 8RJ
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Spacious historic home with barn and south-facing courtyard for country living.
Grade II listed late 16th-century thatched farmhouse with original features preserved
A rare, Grade II listed thatched farmhouse set in about 0.84 acres of gardens, orchard and courtyard, less than a mile from Dolton. The house dates from the late 16th century and has been sympathetically restored to retain exposed beams, stone fireplaces and oak doors while adding modern comforts such as ground-floor underfloor heating and a fitted kitchen with an electric AGA.
The layout is generous — approximately 3,911 sq ft across multiple storeys — with four bedrooms (principal bedroom with en suite and exposed roof timbers), three reception rooms and three bathrooms. A large traditional barn and linking office sit off the paved south-facing courtyard, offering practical storage and genuine conversion potential subject to listed-building and planning consents.
Practical points to note: the property is Grade II listed, which preserves character but will constrain alterations and may complicate maintenance or conversion of outbuildings. Heating is by oil boiler with radiators; fuel is not on a community supply. Broadband speeds are very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect home working without alternative connectivity solutions.
This house suits buyers seeking period character, space and rural privacy — families or those relocating from urban areas who value countryside living and scope to adapt outbuildings (with appropriate consents). It has been renovated but retains traditional construction (cob walls, thatch) that requires ongoing specialist maintenance and higher council tax costs should be anticipated.
