Description

This Grade II listed Dartmoor farmhouse forms part of a historic farm complex in Goodameavy and is arranged around a 17th-century cobbled courtyard. The main house has four bedrooms and retains features including exposed stonework, timber doors and roof trusses. The listing describes the property as requiring renovation throughout and notes oil-fired central heating and a private water supply. The principal living space is a large kitchen, dining and family room with a vaulted ceiling, exposed A-frames, a mezzanine reached by a pull-down ladder, fitted units, an island and an oil-fired Aga. Steps lead down to a sitting room with granite arches and a woodburner. Further accommodation includes two reception rooms, a utility room, boot room, shower room, four bedrooms and a family bathroom. Two bedrooms have access to the rear garden. An attached, two-storey annex has its own entrance and is described as having two bedrooms; it has previously been rented. Outside, the property has a lawned rear garden, landscaped slate-paved terraces and parking in the courtyard and near a separate barn or garage used for storage. The combination of a substantial main house and separate annex offers scope for refurbishment, subject to the requirements of its listed status and verification of the accommodation and services.

Grade BGood opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £550,000, this 3,310 sq ft farmhouse is a notably cheap acquisition against the local £/sq ft average, giving the project a strong value starting point. Its Grade II stonework, exposed beams, vaulted Great Hall and 17th-century courtyard provide character that a renovation can build on, while the attached two-bedroom annex offers scope for family use or income. The large garden and substantial reception spaces add to the appeal.

This is a substantial improvement project rather than a cosmetic refresh: photographed interiors show worn flooring and dated finishes, with peeling surfaces and dark staining in parts of the annex that warrant investigation. The £45,000–£85,000 renovation range indicates the scale to plan for, but the combination of a low purchase price and distinctive historic features makes this a good opportunity for someone prepared to take on the work.

Key opportunities

  • Rework the large vaulted Great Hall and adjoining reception spaces to make the most of the exposed beams, granite arches and historic doors.
  • Improve the separate-entry two-bedroom annex for relatives or potential rental use, while addressing its visibly worn wall finishes.
  • Acquire a substantial farmhouse and annex at a notably low asking price per square foot, with a sizeable garden and cobbled courtyard to enhance.

Key risks

  • The £45,000–£85,000 works range and worn finishes across several photographed areas point to a significant renovation programme, not a cosmetic refresh; allow for time and budget to update finishes and investigate the annex staining.
  • Weathered roof surfaces and exterior finishes on the outbuilding merit closer inspection, although no clear major failure is visible in the photographs.
