Description
This substantial Devon longhouse, known as Fawnsmoor Farmhouse, is a rare opportunity to acquire a period farmhouse with a large detached stone barn, extensive land, and a peaceful country setting. The farmhouse, believed to date back to the 17th century, offers versatile and extensive accommodation with character features, including oil-fired central heating, wood burners, and wood-fired range cooker. The annexe has been recently refurbished, and the main farmhouse would benefit from general updating. The barn has planning permission to convert into a unique and individual home with a generous net floor area of around 5,000 sqft. The property also includes stables, a stable yard, and around 9 acres of land, including grazing and woodland areas. The location is rural yet accessible, with nearby towns and villages, including Axminster, Lyme Regis, and Sidmouth, and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site. The property has mains water and electricity, private drainage, and standard and ultrafast broadband connectivity.
