This delightful Grade II listed 15th century Devon Longhouse is nestled in the heart of the village of Tedburn St Mary. Set on a generous, level plot of approximately 0.82 acres with beautiful views of the countryside beyond.
Extensively re-thatched in 2018, this property has been well maintained and enjoys the added convenience of ample parking. This charming home presents excellent potential for multi-generational living.
The gated entrance opens onto a large gravel driveway with a double car port and detached garage to the side of the property. In addition to the main entrance there is a separate doorway which allows for independent access to the potential annex.
This property is brimming with well-preserved original features from its rich medieval heritage, as evidenced by an extensive archaeological survey. As soon as you enter the property, you are greeted with charming wooden beams, a traditional Plank and Muntin screen with Apotropaic markings and a beautifully arched doorway. At the end of the hallway, a rear lobby provides a practical transition space with a side door that offers convenient access to the garden.
The main reception room contains a wealth of original features that add to its charm and warmth, with wooden beams, an impressive inglenook fireplace and an original bread oven. The space is further accentuated by a beautiful plank and muntin screen. Two windows overlooking the front of the property allow in natural light.
The snug, despite its name, is a spacious and cozy room featuring built-in storage and a large fireplace with a wood burner. With natural light from the windows, it’s the perfect spot for relaxation.
The beautifully fitted bespoke kitchen has plenty of built-in storage, an electric Aga and a Belfast style sink. The well-designed ‘L’ shaped room provides a perfect space for a dining area with beautiful views of the garden and the countryside beyond. French doors invite natural light and provide seamless access to the garden, making it perfect for alfresco dining.
Adjacent to the kitchen is a convenient pantry, utility room, a downstairs WC and a boot room.
The property offers fantastic annex potential, featuring a secondary front door which provides independent access to an additional spacious reception room and an adjoining study and a shower room. A staircase provides additional access to the master bedroom, which is as full of character as the rest of the property, with a beautifully arched window and wooden beams. Built in wardrobes provide useful storage.
Adjoining the master bedroom is another room which could be used as a dressing room, nursery or study. This room can also be accessed via the spacious first floor landing, where there are two further built in storage cupboards.
There are three further bedrooms, including one featuring a freestanding rolltop bath, offering ideal convenience for guests. The property’s rich history is evident in the smoke blackened timbers, highlighting its character and heritage. The first floor also houses the family bathroom with a separate shower.
Stepping outside, the well-maintained garden enjoys stunning rural views, making it a rare find in the centre of the village. The substantial plot includes a level lawn with mature shrubs, plum, apple, magnolia and tulip trees, a sun terrace and paved walkways. A generous vegetable plot with raised beds and a Hartley Botanic greenhouse, adding to the charm and appeal of this unique outdoor space.
