Whitley Farm is an attractive Grade II Listed farmhouse set in a secluded rural position in the North Devon countryside, a short distance from Exmoor National Park. The farmhouse dates from the early to mid-17th century and displays plenty of original and characterful features including exposed timber beams, thick stone walls with white render and an impressive original fireplace, alongside later modern additions creating a beautiful family home. The property sits in a plot of approximately 0.88 acres and benefits from a useful outbuilding and stabling.

The ground floor has a well-appointed sitting room with timber beams overhead and a grand stone-built inglenook fireplace, which is fitted with a woodburning stove. Across the hallway there is a useful study space that could be used as an additional bedroom if required providing flexible accommodation options. The spacious dining room has stone tile flooring and a Rayburn range cooker providing opportunities to be converted into a kitchen/dining room. The adjoining galley kitchen provides space for all of the necessary appliances. Adjacent to the galley kitchen is a generous boot room that provides an additional entrance to the property. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a conservatory that could be used as further dining/entertaining space and a useful downstairs shower room.

Two separate staircases lead upstairs to four bedrooms including the generous principal bedroom, which benefits from extensive built-in storage and a dual-aspect allowing for a wealth of natural light. The first floor also has a bathroom fitted with a contemporary suite, including a bathtub and a separate shower unit.
