Situated on the outskirts of Exeter, this Grade II listed five-bedroom farmhouse represents a splendid opportunity for those looking to invest in a property with significant potential. Set within approximately 2.48 acres, including mature gardens and paddock land, this residence not only offers a charming family home but also noted possibilities for development and commercial use.
The farmhouse showcases traditional Devon architecture, retaining delightful period details such as exposed beams and wooden floors while also featuring modern updates throughout its spacious layout. The generous country kitchen serves as an ideal gathering space, complemented by two reception rooms and additional studies that cater to contemporary living needs. Expansive windows provide abundant natural light and stunning views of the surrounding countryside, enhancing the tranquil atmosphere.
A key aspect of this property is the traditional courtyard of stone barns situated southwest of the farmhouse. These barns have been granted full planning permission for conversion into three high-quality residential units, making it an attractive option for developers or homeowners alike. The approved plans detail:
- Plot 1: Three-bedroom, two-storey barn conversion
- Plot 2 & 3: Three-bedroom, single-storey barn conversions
Additionally, a section 106 contribution applies per dwelling, alongside an anticipated cil charge—details can be verified through East Devon District Council.
Venns Farm also maintains an established commercial use designation for parts of its outbuildings since 2016. This flexibility not only supports ongoing business activities but presents opportunities for mixed-use investments or home enterprises.
The surrounding land offers further prospects for equestrian pursuits or small-scale farming within a community-rich village atmosphere. With excellent access to Exeter city centre (approximately 4 miles), major transport links, and local amenities nearby, Venns Farm stands out as a unique investment opportunity in one of Devon's scenic locales.
