This historic 5 bedroom farmhouse was purchased in a sad state 26 years ago, and it has been tastefully and skillfully renovated since that time. The property has spacious rooms throughout, original fireplaces with wood burners, limestone floors with underfloor heating, and exposed beams to name a few highlights. The farmhouse sits within approx 1.8 acres including gardens, paddock with stream border, garage and extensive parking.

Location: The property is just a short walk from the popular town of Hatherleigh, with traditions including a November carnival with flaming tar barrel runs! There is a Co-op store, a range of cafes and two established pubs. There is a vet, doctors surgery and an Ofsted-rated ‘Good’ primary school. The town is about seven miles from Okehampton (bus connection available), which has three supermarkets, primary and secondary schooling, and rail connection to Exeter and onward to the main Penzance to Paddington line. The north coast at Bude is only a 30 minute drive away.

Accommodation: The property is entered through a large oak front door that opens into an entrance hall. To the left is the snug with large window to front and original fireplace with wood burner. On the opposite side of the hall is the spacious living room, again with large window to front with window seat, original fireplace and a wood burner. The spacious dining room easily accommodates a 10 seater dining table, providing a great space to entertain. Just off the dining room is the study. The farmhouse kitchen has plenty of workspace for the home chef and benefits from a range and an electric cooker. To the rear is a modern conservatory that houses the utility, and there is also a WC on the ground floor. Upstairs are 4 double bedrooms, two with en suites, a single bedroom and the family bathroom. All of the bedrooms enjoy good natural light, are well proportioned with plenty of space for beds and wardrobes.

Outside: The property is approached by a long tarmac drive leading to the farmhouse, which splits off to provide access to three nearby barn conversions. The front elevation of the grand farmhouse comes into view at the last bend, and after passing under a mature weeping willow the private parking area and garage are reached.

The farmhouse is surrounded by lawned gardens on three sides with plenty of space for kids to play, dogs to run and the outdoors to be enjoyed. Beyond the gardens to the rear is a level 1.1 acre paddock, offering space for a pony or a small flock of sheep, and there is additional amenity land with stream frontage to the front of the property.
