Little Silworthy Farm is a distinctive opportunity to acquire and revitalize a traditional farmhouse nestled in the serene North Devon countryside. Set on an elevated plot, this property offers not only privacy but also beautiful rural views, making it ideal for those looking to create a bespoke family home or embark on a more extensive development project.
The farmhouse itself is a substantial three-storey residence with traditional stone construction and features from its Edwardian period expansion. While it has been well-loved over the years, it is currently in significant disrepair and requires comprehensive restoration. From external render issues to a slate roof needing urgent attention, the scope for renovation is vast. Internally, expect to modernize throughout, as most fittings are likely beyond salvage.
With nearly 45 acres of land and additional agricultural buildings on site, there is considerable potential for enhancing both the residential and agricultural aspects of the property. The grounds feature established gardens ready for further landscaping, with remnants of a former grass tennis court adding historical charm.
This property’s unique literary connection to Edwardian novelist Charles Garvice adds further appeal as it stands at the crossroads of heritage and future possibilities. This project represents not just a renovation but the chance to breathe new life into a piece of Devon's rich agricultural and literary history.
