Description

This five-bedroom detached farmhouse is set in an elevated rural position with views across the surrounding valleys. It has been in the same family for generations and is now being offered to the market for the first time in more than 80 years. The accommodation is currently arranged as two connected living areas, with separate kitchens and reception rooms, offering flexibility for a range of uses. The main part includes a porch and hallway, a reception room with a stone fireplace and woodburner, and a kitchen/dining room with an oil-fired range. A utility and rear porch, ground-floor bathroom and cellar provide additional practical space. Upstairs are three bedrooms, while the loft is divided into two gable-end areas with storage and a shower room. The adjoining section has a further reception room with a woodburner, kitchen, two bedrooms and a bathroom. A separate outbuilding, known as the Old Tap House, is currently used for storage and includes a WC and shower area. The property is described as requiring refurbishment. The loft could potentially be incorporated into the main accommodation, and the listing also notes scope for garaging, subject to the necessary consents. A cellar with its own external entrance offers further storage or possible alternative use, subject to consents. Additional land of approximately 0.86 acres is available by separate negotiation. East Allington is around 1.7 miles away, with Kingsbridge approximately five miles from the property. Totnes and the South Devon coast are also within reach. The surrounding area is rural, with local village facilities and access to countryside walks and outdoor activities.

At £650,000, this substantial 3,551 sq ft farmhouse is priced at about £183/sq ft, well below the local average of £392/sq ft — a clear opportunity to acquire a lot of house for the money. Its elevated rural setting, far-reaching valley views, established grounds and period fireplaces give the property plenty of character to build on.
