GRADE II LISTED 5 BEDROOM FARMHOUSE in just over 4 ACRES.

Detached Grade II listed farmhouse with large yard and numerous outbuildings. The property is set within just over 4 acres and benefits from well-drained, level paddocks. The farmhouse has spacious rooms and a light and bright dual aspect kitchen / diner with 2 ranges. Although the farmhouse is in need of some modernisation, it presents an excellent opportunity for those seeking a large rural home with potential for equestrian and small-holding use. There is also potential for camping or glamping subject to the necessary consents.

The spacious and bright kitchen / diner is a fantastic feature and the hub of this historic home and features high ceilings, dual aspect glazing, two ranges, extensive worktop space and room for a generously sized dining table. Also on the ground floor are two well-proportioned reception rooms, both with wood burners within inglenook fireplaces, two utility rooms, bathroom and WC. Upstairs are 5 double bedrooms (one with restricted head height) and a family bathroom. Four of the bedrooms are large doubles and one a smaller double, and the end bedroom has a lovely dual aspect providing loads of natural light.

Outside are seven outbuildings and a large concrete yard. Amongst the outbuildings are stables, a garage, barns, shippon and sheds. These outbuildings could house livestock, horses, machinery and workshops, and there is potential to convert one or more of them into accommodation subject to the necessary consents. Of the approximately 4.1 acres in total, there are over 3.5 acres of nearly level, well drained ground that form a number of paddocks. The current vendors have historically accommodated as many as three horses on the land. There is an additional parcel of approximately 0.25 acre that is available by separate negotiation.

The picturesque village of Northlew with its village square and thatched cottages is just over 2 miles from the property, and it has a well-regarded pub, primary school, church and shop. The bustling former market town of Okehampton is just over 5 miles distant. Okehampton sits on the Northern fringe of Dartmoor National Park with easy access to the A30 Corridor and the nearby city of Exeter which is approximately 25 to 30 minutes’ drive away. There is also a rail link to Exeter and from there one can access the main Penzance to Paddington line.
