Description

Old Venn is a historic thatched longhouse in Devon, likely from the late 15th to early 16th centuries. It features unique architectural elements such as impressive inglenook fireplaces and exposed timber, alongside modern renovations. The property benefits from a substantial extension that adds flexibility to its layout. While it possesses considerable charm and character, there is potential for further improvements and customization throughout, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms to enhance functionality and aesthetics. The detached Grade II listed barn adjacent to the main house presents an exciting opportunity for renovation into additional accommodation or a creative workspace, subject to necessary planning permissions. Set within expansive gardens of approximately 3.7 acres, including productive vegetable patches and ample outdoor space, this residence provides an idyllic rural lifestyle while being conveniently located near Exeter’s amenities. The picturesque surroundings support various outdoor activities, making this property not just a home but also an investment in a desirable location.
