Description

Situated in the desirable Mid Devon village of Sampford Courtenay, this four-bedroom detached farmhouse offers a fantastic opportunity to acquire a rural home with extensive outbuildings and approximately 7.65 acres of level pasture land.

The farmhouse extends to approximately 1,822 sq ft of accommodation and offers spacious, well-proportioned rooms throughout. While the property has been well cared for over the years, it would now benefit from a programme of modernisation, giving purchasers the opportunity to update and create a wonderful family home to their own specification. The accommodation includes a welcoming entrance hall, generous sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room, study, cloakroom and four good-sized first-floor bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with en-suite, together with a family bathroom.

Outside, the property boasts an impressive range of outbuildings, including a substantial cattle barn offering excellent storage or agricultural potential, alongside a range of stables, making the property ideal for equestrian enthusiasts, smallholders or those wishing to keep livestock.

The 7.65 acres of predominantly flat pasture provide excellent grazing land for horses or livestock and offer tremendous versatility for a variety of rural pursuits. The grounds provide ample space for hobby farming, equestrian use or simply enjoying the peace and privacy of country living.

Located within the charming village of Sampford Courtenay, the property enjoys a delightful rural setting while remaining within easy reach of Okehampton, the A30 and the spectacular landscapes of Dartmoor National Park. The village itself benefits from a strong community spirit, a historic parish church and a well-regarded traditional inn.

Properties of this nature, combining a detached farmhouse, useful agricultural buildings and quality level land, are rarely available. Offering enormous potential to modernise and create an exceptional countryside home, this is a unique opportunity that must be viewed to be fully appreciated.

Sampford Courtenay is a charming and highly regarded Mid Devon village, set within beautiful rolling countryside and surrounded by open farmland. The village offers a strong community feel, with a historic parish church, traditional village inn and a peaceful rural atmosphere. The area is ideal for those seeking a countryside lifestyle, whilst still remaining within easy reach of everyday amenities and transport links.

The thriving market town of Okehampton is located approximately a short drive away and provides a wide range of facilities including supermarkets, independent shops, cafés, restaurants, schools and leisure facilities. The town is known as the gateway to Dartmoor National Park, offering miles of stunning scenery, walking, riding and outdoor pursuits. With excellent road links via the A30 and a recently reopened railway station providing connections towards Exeter, Okehampton is a popular choice for both local residents and commuters.
