5 Bedroom Farm House for sale in Crediton

3 5 2

A detached farmhouse set within just under two acres, approached via a shared farm lane and forming part of a small group of former farm buildings, including converted barns and another farmhouse.

The house offers well-proportioned accommodation throughout, with a traditional layout that reflects its origins. On the ground floor, there are two main reception rooms - a sitting room and a dining room - both with woodburning stoves. Additional spaces include a dairy, utility room and a separate office, providing useful flexibility for day-to-day living or working from home.

The kitchen is particularly spacious, fitted with a wide range of units and centred around a large original fireplace. A secondary staircase leads from here to the first floor, adding to the character and practicality of the layout.

Upstairs, there are five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The three front-facing bedrooms enjoy open views across the grounds and the surrounding countryside.

Outside, the property continues to offer a wide range of opportunities. To the rear, a courtyard is bordered by two brick barns, both offering useful storage or potential for alternative uses, subject to any necessary permissions. There is also a larger breeze block barn, which could suit a workshop, business use or further development, again depending on requirements.

The grounds extend to just under two acres and are arranged to include a sweeping garden with a pond, summer house and fruit cage. Beyond this is an orchard with a variety of established trees including apple, pear, plum and apricot.

Further practical features include solar panels with a transferable feed-in tariff running until 2032, along with uPVC double glazing throughout. There is mains water and also a productive well.

Overall, this is a substantial farmhouse with a range of outbuildings and land, offering both immediate use and longer-term potential in a beautiful rural setting.
