As you approach the property, you are welcomed by iron and wood double gates that lead you into a picturesque courtyard cobbled with granite sets. This charming space is enclosed by crafted dry stone walls and offers the added convenience of a bespoke oak-framed double garage, complete with electric doors, as well as an extra carport.
This property is anchored by a spacious standalone traditional farmhouse, thoughtfully enhanced by the current owner in recent years. Updates include a new roof, windows, a modern oil-fired central heating system and a replacement private drainage system.
The main house features three reception rooms, with the primary sitting room featuring a newly installed wood-burning stove. The kitchen is thoughtfully equipped with traditional matching wall and base units, showcasing a generous oil-fired Aga set within a charming inglenook fireplace, perfectly in keeping with the property's historic character and serving as an impressive focal point. Adjacent to the kitchen, there's a practical single-story utility/boot room.
The first floor accommodates four generously sized double bedrooms, which are all well proportioned in size. There's also a recently renovated family bathroom, featuring a bath with a shower over, a WC, and a coordinating hand basin. The master bedroom is graced with dual aspects, offering an abundance of natural light, and boasts both a walk-in wardrobe and an ensuite shower room for added convenience.
Adjacent to the living room, there's a spacious workshop area that offers potential for further expansion of the main residence if desired. While substantial enhancements have been carried out, it's worth noting that some of the internal rooms would benefit from cosmetic upgrades, providing an opportunity for the new owner to personalize and customize the property to their liking.
Accessible via its private driveway, 'Alice's Cottage', a three-bedroom holiday rental, has undergone a comprehensive renovation to meet the highest standards. This single-story barn conversion features three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom, and boasts private gardens, making it an ideal retreat and an excellent income-generating opportunity.
Two additional outbuildings have been expertly transformed to offer a two-bedroom, two-bathroom ancillary living space. Adjacent to this, a remarkable second barn has been converted, showcasing impeccable craftsmanship with its custom-built oak framework and oak joinery, creating a truly striking architectural feature. This multifunctional space also includes a log-burning stove, a well-appointed kitchen, a convenient WC, and a mezzanine floor that overlooks the spacious room.
Nestled discreetly behind the main farmhouse, there is a substantial building presently serving as kennels, complete with power and water connections. This versatile space could easily be repurposed as a generous home office or gym to suit the needs of the new owner.
The property's grounds are as beautiful as its living spaces. The adjacent productive pasture land is thoughtfully divided into two practical enclosures, making it a perfect fit for prospective buyers with equestrian, smallholding, or other recreational interests.
A newly installed stable block is located to the west of the farmhouse, providing convenient access to the paddock.
In addition, there's an established apple orchard on the premises, and an enclosed area adjacent to the kennels, which could be expanded if needed. In total, Higher Langaton spans approximately four acres, offering ample space for various pursuits and potential expansions.
From South Molton, head west on the B3227 towards Umberleigh. Continue for about 2.5 miles, taking the first turning right at Torrington Cross signed Chittlehampton. Follow this lane along for 0.8 of a mile and turn left where it is signed Higher Langaton Farm which is a short distance along on your right.
