Location

Tedburn St Mary, which is just under one mile from the property, provides local amenities including a primary school, village shop, a public house, and a village hall.

Exeter provides an excellent range of schools in both the independent and state sectors together with the University and College, airport, premiership rugby, and mainline train station providing fast trains to London in just over two hours.

The local town of Crediton is also within easy reach of the property, about six miles to the north, and offers a range of shopping and scholastic facilities.


Farmhouse
Great Huish Farmhouse comprises an attractive grade II listed property dating back to the 16th Century but providing sympathetically modernised accommodation with underfloor heating, solar panels and associated battery, and a biomass boiler, whilst retaining many character features.

The accommodation comprises front door to porch and hallway with tiled floor, principal staircase to first floor, and sitting room off with flagstone floor, exposed ceiling beam, and inglenook fireplace with woodburning stove. Dining room/’snug’ with ceiling beam and former fireplace. Breakfast room with oil-fired Aga, exposed ceiling beams and tiled floor, leading to kitchen (with external door providing access across to the patio and garden beyond). Situated off the dining room/snug is a family bathroom, the utility room with biomass boiler, Tesla battery, and external door. The hallway from the dining room/snug also provides access via rear-stairs to the first floor, together with a further large utility/boot room with pebbled floor, wooden panelled and carved screen, wash-hand basin and door to front and rear, with WC.

On the first floor the principal stairs lead to a large landing area providing access to three double bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from an adjoining dressing room and en-suite bathroom facilities. The fourth bedroom, which comprises a large room with en-suite shower room off, is accessed via the rear stairs, but also via the dressing room to the principal bedroom if desired.

Situated close to the farmhouse is a patio accessed via steps off the rear drive and in turn a spacious lawned garden overlooking the paddock below.

Adjoining the farmhouse to the north is a further garden store with loft above (not to be accessed due to the unstable floor) and a linhay offering potential to provide further accommodation if desired.


Cottages
Situated a short distance from the farmhouse is a detached barn conversion which provides flexible accommodation of either a detached three-bedroom cottage, or two semi-detached cottages. The cottages are known as The Yoke and The Furrow, and they have been used most recently as holiday letting accommodation. However, the cottages are not subject to a holiday letting restriction and can therefore be occupied as a residential dwelling/s as desired.

The Furrow offers accommodation comprising, on the ground floor, open plan kitchen and sitting room with access onto the shared lawned garden. On the first floor is the principal bedroom with en-suite bathroom together with a second bedroom and separate bathroom.

The Yoke offers accommodation comprising, on the ground floor, open plan kitchen and sitting room with access onto the shared lawned garden. On the first floor is a double bedroom and bathroom.

Adjoining The Furrow to the rear is a large garage accessed from the parking area which also houses the oil-fired boiler for the property.

Opposite the farmhouse and cottage is a single storey barn which has planning permission for conversion to a one-bedroom holiday letting cottage. A concrete floor has been laid within this building by the vendors.


Buildings
To the west of the farmhouse and cottage is a range of farm buildings. These have most recently been used to service a beef and sheep enterprise but could be adapted to service a range of uses. The buildings more specifically comprise:

1. Five bay concrete framed machinery store and cattle shed with part concrete floor (75’ x 60’).

2. Adjoining five bay concrete framed machinery store (75’ x 30’).

4. Adjoining stables with block wall partitions and adjoining tack room/feed store.

5. Dutch barn/straw store (60’ x 20’).

Adjoining the agricultural buildings is a large hardstanding which provides further useful storage space.

Situated to the south of the farmstead with easy access from the stables and adjoining farm buildings is a 40m x 20m riding school which was constructed in 2012.
