A Beautifully Presented Period Farmhouse with Equestrian Facilities and Breathtaking Views - Set in Complete Seclusion

Tucked away in the Devon countryside, this individual farmhouse is set over three levels and enjoys far-reaching views across the Tamar Valley National Landscape. A thoughtful blend of period character and modern detail with excellent equestrian facilities. 

 
Accommodation
Originally a traditional farmhouse and adjoining barn, this remarkable home has been lovingly converted to preserve its history while introducing high-quality modern finishes throughout. A wealth of exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and rich wooden floors showcases the building’s heritage.

The dining room is a particularly charming space, centred around the original bread oven and a classic Esse range.

The bespoke kitchen, thoughtfully designed and renovated by the current owners, balances practicality with style. It features a limestone floor, an electric range-style Everhot, A, and exceptional attention to detail throughout. A stable door opens to a sheltered suntrap, perfect for a quiet morning coffee, while bifold doors lead directly onto a generous stone patio, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining in the warmer months.

The home also offers two further sitting areas, a cosy snug and a sitting room, both with log-burning stoves and countryside views, creating relaxed, comfortable spaces to unwind with family or guests.

A practical boot room/utility space makes countryside living easy, providing essential storage for coats, muddy boots, and laundry.

Set over three floors, the layout provides flexibility. The top floor hosts a superb suite, complete with triple-aspect Velux windows, a spacious double bedroom, ensuite shower room, and a dressing area. Additional bedrooms are arranged across the middle floor, offering ample space for family, guests, or multi-generational living.

 
Outside
The property offers several patio areas, thoughtfully installed by the current owners, providing a choice of sunny and sheltered spots throughout the day. One includes a bespoke BBQ area, ideal for entertaining. The well-maintained lawned gardens are complemented by established flower beds and traditional stone boundary walls.

There is ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to three garages and two carports. Close to the house is a mature orchard with a variety of fruit trees, a pond, and a greenhouse.
