This unique rural estate, perched above the Exe Valley on the Devon/Somerset border, includes three self-contained dwellings, modern agricultural facilities, and abundant land featuring productive pastures and woodland. Positioned near the breathtaking Exmoor National Park, Benshayes Farm provides an exceptional opportunity for renovation and investment.
At the heart of this estate lies a striking 17th-century farmhouse that showcases both historical charm and ample space for modernization. The residence features original features such as exposed beams and traditional fireplaces, with generous reception areas that can be adapted to suit contemporary living needs. With five bedrooms and considerable potential in its layout, there's scope for enhancing living spaces or even converting some areas into separate accommodation (subject to planning).
Complementing the farmhouse are The Stables, a range of tastefully converted stone-built buildings currently serving as comfortable living quarters. This venue has been designed with flexibility in mind; it boasts planning permission to be split into two independent units, making it an attractive proposition for rental income or multi-family living.
Benshayes Cottage further adds to the property’s robust potential by offering adaptable accommodation options with lovely views and characterful features. Additionally, there are traditional farm buildings with planning permissions awaiting creative reinvention into more residential units.
The expansive grounds cover approximately 58 acres, comprising gardens, pastureland suitable for grazing or cultivation, and mixed woodland ripe for development or conservation projects. The estate's rich history is matched by its vast natural beauty—making it not only a tranquil retreat but also a valuable investment opportunity just minutes from local amenities and transport links.
With additional land available upon negotiation, Benshayes Farm is an ideal canvas for those looking to create something special in a picturesque setting.
