Description
This is a unique opportunity to acquire a substantial Devon longhouse with a detached stone barn, set in a peaceful country location. The property, known as Fawnsmoor Farmhouse, dates back to the 17th century and offers extensive and versatile accommodation, including an interconnecting annexe wing. The farmhouse features a range of characterful period details, including oil-fired central heating, wood burners, and wood-fired range cooker. The barn has planning permission to be converted into a bespoke home with a generous net floor area of around 5,000 square feet, offering far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The property also comes with around 3.9 acres of land, with an additional 5 acres of grazing/woodland available to purchase. The barn has great potential for a smallholding, with a spa facility, stables, and a large open courtyard providing extensive parking. The property is situated in a rural location, yet is within easy reach of Axminster and the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
