VIEW OUR AERIAL FILM! Beautiful detached Victorian farmhouse with magnificent panoramic rural views, lovely gardens and grounds to almost 3 ACRES, stone barn with potential to convert into annexe/cottage, large modern barn/workshop, fabulous 4 bedroomed period accommodation with a modern twist – a truly exceptional property worthy of an immediate viewing!.
Standing high on the outskirts of the much sought after village of Down St Mary and enjoying far reaching panoramic views, Higher Living Farmhouse is a beautiful detached stone built/slate roof Victorian Farmhouse set in gardens and grounds to almost 3 acres. The peaceful village centre with its pretty open green spaces and ancient church of St Mary are within walking distance, and the nearby hamlet of Morchard Road (about a 0.75 mile stroll) has a well regarded public house, The Devonshire Dumpling. Also at Morchard Road is a railway station with an approximately hourly train service to Exeter and Barnstaple.
The property offers first class 4 bedroomed accommodation, superbly presented throughout having been meticulously maintained and improved by the present owners. The kitchen/living area has been well designed, with a split level area and full width sliding glazed doors having the effect of “bringing the outside in” - absolutely perfect for social occasions and family living. The kitchen has been recently fitted and provides an excellent 21st century twist on the Victorian character! There is oil central heating throughout via a recently installed oil fired boiler which also provides domestic hot water.
Higher Living Farmhouse has its own private driveway that sweeps through the front garden to ample off road parking, and a double garage at the side. There are further areas of garden to the south and lawned areas beyond. There is a 2-storey stone built/slate roof barn currently being used as a workshop/store, with hobby room over (perfect for model train enthusiasts!) – and this building has excellent potential to convert into an annexe or small cottage (subject to the necessary permissions). There is a large modern workshop/barn which is ideal for storing agricultural machinery, horse boxes, garden equipment etc – which could fairly easily convert into stables if desired. The land lies beyond and slopes to the south, and there is a further area that has the potential for a small manege or stable block etc.
There is a very useful 2nd vehicular access from the village lane which leads directly into the paddock. The adjoining barn conversion (Carpenters Barn) has a right of way along this secondary driveway and we understand that maintenance of the driveway is a joint responsibility. Please see land plan, and call us if you require further clarification. There is the possibility that this may also be purchased with Higher Living Farmhouse. The property offers a really good all-round package: First class family accommodation, a stone barn with potential to convert (subject to planning), a modern barn/workshop, lovely gardens, and a paddock. Perfect for anyone seeking this type of property in this most picturesque and unspoilt part of mid Devon.
