14 bedroom detached house for sale

Wood Farm is a magnificent 16th century farmhouse with additional accommodation and extensive outbuildings. Set in a peaceful, secluded location close to the small village of Blackawton, the farm features a delightful stone-built main farmhouse with a modern extension and self-contained annexe, as well as three cottages, with all accommodation benefitting from recent refurbishment and highly attractive styling and fittings.

The farmhouse features two comfortable reception rooms towards the front of the ground floor, while at the rear the Carpenter Oak, oak-framed extension includes a light and airy, open-plan kitchen, dining area and orangery. This splendid living and entertaining space has a vaulted ceiling, exposed beamwork and full-height windows from the orangery, overlooking the rear gardens. Whilst from the dining area the views look towards the stream.

There are four bedrooms arranged across the first and second floors, including the generous principal bedroom on the second floor with its delightful wetroom and dressing room. Of the two first-floor bedrooms, one is en suite, while there is also an office and a family bathroom. The fourth bedroom is adjacent to the principal bedroom. The annexe is located on the first floor with its own private entrance via an external granite staircase. It includes a reception room, a kitchenette, one double bedroom and ashower room.

Additional accommodation comes in the form of the four-bedroom Burr Barn and the converted threshing barn, which is divided into two separate two-bedroom apartments, Beck and Fern. Together they provide significant potential for a regular income from holiday lettings.

The house and all additional accommodation benefitted from a full refurbishment in the last decade. All properties are fitted with double glazing and share ground source heat pumps. The main farmhouse and each barn were re-wired, re-plumbed and fitted with underfloor heating. The cottages each have logburners, with the main house featuring an open fire box.

The house and cottages are set in approximately 11 acres of rolling gardens and grounds, with substantial outbuildings in a completely rural and tranquil valley. There is a large barn, a garage with a carport and an art studio, as well as a stunning pool house with an indoor swimming pool and changing facilities. The grounds feature formal lawns and landscaped gardens, an orchard with a variety of apple trees, a stream, two ponds and rolling fields and meadows. The property also offers plenty of parking for both residents and guests on its private drive and courtyard.

The property is set in a stunning rural location, close to the small and peaceful village of Blackawton, on the edge of the South Devon National Landscape. The village has a community shop, a post office, a local pub, a 15th century Norman parish church and an excellent primary school, while a range of amenities can be found in Totnes, Dartmouth and Kingsbridge all equidistant away.
