Wheeldon, Totnes, TQ9

Wheeldon Farmhouse with Additional 4 Holiday Let Cottages

Nestled in a picturesque rural setting, Wheeldon Farmhouse offers a unique and exceptional opportunity. This property features the main farmhouse, ideal as a family home with potential for modernisation, along with an annex and three charming cottages, all brimming with character. Original features like flagstone flooring and exposed beams add to the quintessential English cottage charm. The annex and three cottages are currently operating as successful holiday lets, generating approximately £118,000 annually.  This income is achieved without modernisation or extensive marketing, suggesting there is considerable scope to increase revenue with targeted updates and promotional efforts.

The Farmhouse with Annex

The Farmhouse is a spacious property with immense potential. Its entrance boasts a large gravel driveway with a five-bar gate and stone pillars, leading to a welcoming porch and flagstone slate hallway. Inside, the bright living room with a cosy log burner, along with the dining room and country-style kitchen, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms offer scenic views of the rolling countryside. A family bathroom and two ensuite shower rooms complete the first floor.

A standout feature is the annex, Mad Nelly, which generated approximately £30,000 as a holiday let between 2022 and 2023, presenting a lucrative income opportunity. The property consists of open plan kitchen/diner, living room with log burner, 3 bedrooms (one with ensuite shower and w/c) and shower room with w/c. 

The expansive grounds, complete with apple trees and a large lawn, offer endless possibilities for creative outdoor transformations, such as a home office or outdoor kitchen. Originally a six-bedroom property, the farmhouse has been thoughtfully converted into two separate three-bedroom residences. The farmhouse offers further verstaility, either as a family home or an additional holiday let/residential let. While modernisation is needed, this offers a blank canvas for creating a dream home or additional rental space. The historic features and flexible layout provide limitless opportunities for customisation and enhancement.
