Exbourne, Okehampton, Devon

Town Living Farm offers an excellent opportunity to acquire a charming three-bedroom farmhouse, three cottages currently run as successful holiday lets, several outbuildings and a partially built cottage with planning for an additional detached holiday let. The property benefits from a generous plot of approximately 4 acres and sits in a sought-after position, on the edge of Exbourne, close to Dartmoor.

The main house offers 1,920 sq ft of accommodation with white rendered elevations and a thatched roof. Inside there are exposed timber beams and original fireplaces blended seamlessly with elegant décor and stylish fixtures and fittings.

The generous sitting room features timber beams overhead and an impressive fireplace with an original lintel and fitted with a woodburning stove. There is also a comfortable drawing room with woodburner and an original cast-iron bread oven. Towards the rear, the extended, 32ft kitchen and dining area provides further space for everyday living or entertaining, with skylights overhead and bi-fold doors opening to the rear garden and welcoming plenty of natural light. The kitchen itself has farmhouse-style fitted units and wooden worktops, plus an Aga and a central island. There is also ample space for a family dining table. The ground floor is completed by a cloakroom which can also be accessed from the outside.

Upstairs there are three well-presented bedrooms, two of which are doubles. The principal bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed timber eaves, and features built-in storage and an en suite shower room, while the first floor also has a family bathroom with a freestanding roll-top bathtub and a separate shower unit.

The Cottages
The largest of the three additional cottages is The Threshing Barn, which features three stylish double bedrooms, two bathrooms and a well-proportioned, open-plan kitchen and sitting area with full-height windows and French doors to both the front and rear, welcoming a wealth of natural light. This cottage also has its own enclosed courtyard garden. The Hayloft adjoins The Threshing Barn and comprises an open-plan sitting area and kitchen, a cloakroom, two double bedrooms and a well-appointed family bathroom. Both The Threshing Barn and The Hayloft have their own generous parking area to the front with parking space for several vehicles. The Cowshed is detached and provides a welcoming sitting room and a well-equipped kitchen, both with flagstone flooring, along with two double bedrooms—one of which is en suite—and a family bathroom. A carport provides covered parking while The Cow Shed also benefits from its own patio garden providing ideal space for al fresco dining and for admiring the picturesque countryside views.

The holiday cottages are all currently successful holiday lets providing excellent income potential. The cottages could also be used for ancillary accommodation offering versatile accommodation for multi-generational living.

There is also a partially constructed building which has planning for an additional holiday let.

At the entrance to the main house, a gravel driveway provides parking space for several vehicles, as well as access to the detached garage. There are gardens to both the front and rear of the property, with the front gardens featuring an area of lawn, bordered by established shrubs and perennials. At the rear there is a terrace for al fresco dining, with steps leading to a further lawn and a wooded meadow beyond. There is also a large paddock with a substantial two-storey barn with the property enjoying approximately 4 acres in all.
