Description

This historic Grade II listed farmhouse offers a unique opportunity for renovation and investment, marking its first entry onto the market in generations. Believed to date back to the 16th or 17th century, this property is located just outside the well-regarded village of West Buckland, providing a serene rural setting with convenient access to local amenities. The main house features a versatile layout on the ground floor. A spacious sitting room boasts an inviting inglenook-style fireplace and ample front-facing windows that allow natural light to flood the space. Adjacent to this area, there is a dining room that leads into a practical kitchen outfitted with modern appliances. The kitchen overlooks the yard, fostering both functionality and comfort for everyday living. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized double bedrooms, each with its own distinctive views of the surrounding countryside. The principal bedroom includes an en-suite shower room for added convenience. Also noteworthy is the self-contained annexe on the ground floor, which can serve multiple purposes: it’s suited for multi-generational living or as a potential rental unit thanks to its independent entrance as well as optional internal access to the main house. The property includes various outbuildings that could be utilized for storage, hobbies, or possibly transformed into additional living spaces—subject to planning permissions. A charming former Cider Press Barn attached to the house enhances its character while presenting further possibilities for enhancement or repurposing. Outdoor spaces consist of manageable gardens laid mainly to lawn, offering privacy and tranquility. An access strip will be established at the far end of the garden for future development related to nearby barns currently on sale as investment opportunities. With ample parking provided by a concrete driveway and yard, combined with access to essential services such as private drainage and mains utilities, this property stands out not only for its historical significance but also for its potential as a long-term investment in an appealing location.
