Description

Step into a piece of history with this Grade II listed farmhouse, believed to date back to the 16th or 17th century, offered for sale for the first time in generations. Located on the outskirts of West Buckland, this property presents a unique opportunity for those looking to invest in renovation or development. The main house features a versatile ground floor layout with a spacious sitting room that boasts an inglenook-style fireplace and large windows that fill the space with natural light. A connecting door offers the option of internal access to the self-contained annexe, which also has its own private entrance. This flexibility allows for a range of living arrangements, making it suitable for multi-generational families or as a potential source of rental income. Adjacent to the sitting room is a generous dining area that flows into a well-appointed kitchen equipped with modern appliances. This functional yet inviting space overlooks the yard, enhancing day-to-day life with picturesque views. Upstairs, you will find four sizable double bedrooms, each uniquely positioned to capture views of the surrounding countryside. The principal suite benefits from an en-suite shower room, while a large family bathroom serves the other rooms. The self-contained annexe provides additional accommodation with its own bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, and sitting area. This setup is ideal for guests or could be leveraged for additional rental opportunities. Outdoor features include ample parking via a concrete driveway and various modest outbuildings that offer potential for storage or creative projects. Attached to the front of the farmhouse is the charming former Cider Press Barn, further enriching this property’s character and versatility. The rear gardens are privately set and provide a tranquil retreat amidst nature. There is also planned access for future development at the far end of the garden, allowing new owners to explore expansion options in conjunction with nearby barn conversions currently on offer. With private drainage and mains utilities available, this farmhouse serves as both a comfortable home and a promising investment opportunity ready for transformation. It’s essential to assess local broadband speeds and mobile signal coverage before visiting, ensuring you’re well-informed about modern connectivity options in this historic setting.
