SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Charming Grade II Listed Former Farmhouse with 2.25 Acres of Gardens and Pasture Steeped in history and full of character, this beautifully preserved detached former farmhouse offers an exceptional opportunity to own a piece of rural heritage. Believed to have been built around 1830, the property is Grade II listed, boasting a striking Cornish slate-hung façade and a wealth of period features that reflect its agricultural past. Set within approximately 2.25 acres of private land—comprising landscaped gardens and gently sloping pasture—the house is surrounded by its own grounds and accessed via a private gated driveway with ample parking for multiple vehicles.

The home has been lovingly maintained and sensitively updated over the years, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout. The generous yet cosy accommodation begins with a welcoming entrance porch leading into a central hallway. From here, you’ll find a choice of charming reception rooms, including a traditional country kitchen, a comfortable lounge with a wood-burning stove, and a formal dining room featuring an elegant fireplace. A separate study and a practical utility room add to the flexibility of the ground floor layout. Upstairs, the property offers four generously proportioned double bedrooms, each full of character and natural light. The standout family bathroom is a real highlight, featuring a luxurious freestanding bath, a walk-in shower, and stylish fittings that complement the home’s period charm. Whether you’re looking for a forever family home, small-holding opportunity, or a property with space to pursue rural hobbies, this unique and historic farmhouse presents a rare and exciting opportunity.

The grounds and gardens total approximately 2.25 acres and are a very attractive feature of the property. Approached from the roadside via a block paved drive, a five barred gate leads to a gravelled parking and turning area suitable
for several vehicles and also providing access to the carport. To the front of the house there is a small formal garden,
bordered from the roadside by a medium height wall and mostly laid to chippings for ease of maintenance, bordered by well stocked beds with plants and shrubs providing a natural screen from the road.

The formal garden lies beyond the driveway, is gently sloping and predominantly laid to lawn with a raised ornamental
garden complete with wildlife pond. Through the garden meanders a small leat with wooden bridge over which leads up to a very pretty, naturally fed duck pond. Above the garden, on higher ground, is the first of two large paddocks, securely fenced and suitable for horses or livestock. A second paddock lies to the west and has an independent gate to the roadside with an adjacent level area perfect for boxing up. The ground has been well looked after, is well drained with healthy
pasture.

Within the garden is a useful range of outbuildings of various types as follows:  a short garage, store shed, potting shed,
carport, aluminium framed greenhouse and a detached timber built stable block with power, light and water supply.

Conveniently located in a rural but not isolated setting and within easy reach via the A390 to Tavistock and the amenities therein.
