Description

This historic Grade II listed Devon Longhouse, thought to be from the early 16th century, is situated in a picturesque rural setting, offering stunning views across the surrounding farmland. While the property has been extensively restored and boasts an array of original features such as exposed beams and charming inglenook fireplaces, there remain significant opportunities for investment and further development. With generous living spaces including three reception rooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and three spacious bedrooms on the first floor, this residence has considerable potential for enhancement. The extensive grounds encompass approximately 8 acres of gardens, paddocks, and woodland, providing ample scope for landscaping or agricultural use. The impressive outbuildings include a substantial barn that presents an exciting conversion opportunity into additional living space or holiday accommodation (subject to planning permissions), which could enhance its income-generating potential. The property is well-placed in terms of local amenities while maintaining a tranquil atmosphere. Overall, Lower Holwell is not just a home but an investment in a captivating historical property with the potential for both personal enjoyment and financial gain.
