Summary - BIRCHEN HATHERLEIGH OKEHAMPTON EX20 3LZ
4 bed 3 bath Detached
Large garden, annexe and studio ideal for family living or rental income.
Detached four-bedroom farmhouse with principal bedroom balcony
Set in a peaceful rural hamlet just outside Hatherleigh, this substantial four-bedroom detached farmhouse blends period character with practical modern upgrades. The main house benefits from spacious reception rooms, a large kitchen/breakfast area and a principal bedroom with a countryside-facing balcony. Solar panels reduce running costs, while mature gardens and a very large plot provide privacy and scope for outdoor living or smallholding activity.
A self-contained two-bed annexe, detached studio and several outbuildings create genuine flexibility: use them for multi-generational living, home working or as holiday-let income (subject to permissions). Driveway parking for several cars and multiple stores add convenience for rural life. The property’s stone and cob construction gives charm but will need ongoing maintenance appropriate to an older home.
Buyers should note important practical considerations: the site is in a high flood-risk area, broadband speeds are very slow, and the property relies on oil-fired central heating plus private water via a borehole and private drainage. Council Tax is in Band E (above average). These factors are relevant for running costs, insurance and connectivity needs.
For families seeking countryside living with space for hobbies, guests or small-scale income, this home offers rare scope and a strong rural outlook. It will suit purchasers who prioritise privacy, outdoor space and adaptable accommodation, and who accept the responsibilities of owning an older rural property.
