Description

This charming farmhouse, steeped in history, offers a unique opportunity for renovation enthusiasts and investors alike. Reed Farmhouse, a Grade II listed property, is set within an expansive 8.29 acres in the serene Teign Valley. Constructed with traditional cob materials and recently updated with timber double-glazed windows, the home maintains much of its period charm while presenting a canvas for further modernisation. With prior planning permissions granted in 2019 for restoration of the kitchen and reconfiguration of existing spaces, including an ensuite addition to the primary bedroom, there is significant potential to enhance both the functionality and value of this residence. Inside, the farmhouse features five characterful bedrooms and multiple reception areas that offer a great flow for family life and entertaining. The generous kitchen/breakfast room boasts picturesque views over the valley, backed by practical utility spaces. The outbuildings surrounding the farmhouse provide versatile options for workshops or storage and could potentially offer change of use opportunities subject to planning approval. The surrounding land has previously supported grazing activities but is equally suitable for conservation or leisure pursuits. This property sits conveniently close to local amenities while being sheltered in stunning natural landscapes that Dartmoor National Park is renowned for. Reed Farmhouse is not only a home; it is an investment that speaks to those looking to breathe new life into a historic dwelling with abundant space and versatility.
