Set amidst the enchanting Devon countryside in the quaint hamlet of Buckland Filleigh, this unique smallholding presents a valuable opportunity for those looking to invest or renovate. Originally established in the mid-19th century as a schoolhouse and later converted into a residence in 1939, the principal house exudes character while offering comfortable living spaces. Key features include a spacious farmhouse-style kitchen/dining area equipped with a walk-in pantry, a utility room, and a ground floor shower room with WC. The first floor hosts three ample double bedrooms alongside a family bathroom, ripe for modernisation.
In addition to the main residence, there is an appealing cottage/annexe that provides flexible living options; it boasts an open-plan layout, sunroom, two bedrooms, and a bathroom upstairs. This space holds strong potential for rental income or multigenerational living arrangements.
With approximately five acres of pastureland and several outbuildings, this property is ideal for anyone eager to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle or establish a smallholding. The outbuildings vary in condition and may present opportunities for conversion or development (subject to planning permission). Further enhancing its appeal is an option to acquire an adjoining 18 acres of woodland—perfect for nature enthusiasts or those interested in timber harvesting.
Buckland Filleigh is surrounded by idyllic scenery and offers access to local amenities within nearby villages, including shops and schools. The property’s location also places it conveniently near market towns and the North Cornish Coast.
This charming holding combines rural serenity with excellent potential for renovation and growth, making it suitable for buyers seeking both tranquillity and investment prospects.
