This substantial Grade II listed farmhouse, originally constructed in 1857 with older elements, presents a unique opportunity for renovation in a picturesque rural setting. Nestled near the hamlets of Luton and between the charming villages of Payhembury and Broadhembury, the property boasts historical significance with its rendered stone, cob, and brick construction beneath a slate roof. Inside, you'll find features indicative of its age, such as beautiful 19th-century carpentry and distinctive timber windows that could be restored to enhance character.
The layout includes a spacious farmhouse kitchen featuring an oil-fired Rayburn positioned within an impressive fireplace. Accompanying this are two sizeable reception rooms, providing ample space for both relaxation and entertaining. Additionally, there's a dairy or storage room and a utility boot room on the ground floor. The first floor is accessed via dual staircases and houses five double bedrooms alongside a family bathroom and separate shower room—perfect for accommodating guests or family.
Outside, wraparound gardens bordered by block and brick walls offer potential for landscape improvements; currently laid mainly to lawn with existing vegetable patches, greenhouses, and fruit trees. The expansive concrete yard is complemented by a range of single and two-storey barns arranged in a C-shape. These structures include a workshop with loft space, former parlour, shippon, and calf houses—ideal for various uses or further development.
Although the property requires modernisation—including replacing the mains water tank and oil tank as well as upgrading to private drainage—this presents an enticing investment opportunity to restore its former glory while adding value in this sought-after location.
