Coming to the market for the first time in over 40 years, Beatlands Farm is a charming and highly individual Devon longhouse, occupying one of the most idyllic and private settings in East Devon. Enjoying far-reaching rural views and surrounded by open countryside, the property is set within approximately 3.8 acres of beautiful grounds.
Approached via a private lane, the property is reached through a driveway providing parking for numerous vehicles. A pathway leads to the conservatory porch and main entrance.
Upon entering, the timeless character of this Devon longhouse is immediately apparent. The hallway opens into an impressive and beautifully proportioned living room, rich in charm with an open fireplace and an abundance of exposed beams. Originally two separate rooms, this elegant space now benefits from large windows with window seats, perfectly positioned to overlook the south-facing front garden.
At the heart of the home is a generous dining room featuring a striking fireplace. The fully fitted kitchen is complemented by a substantial pantry, while additional ground floor accommodation includes a cloakroom, utility room and a spacious rear conservatory, offering seamless views over the gardens beyond.
From the dining room, a doorway leads to a versatile wing comprising a study/sitting room, a double bedroom with dual-aspect windows, a family bathroom and an additional kitchen. This area lends itself perfectly to use as a self-contained annex, guest accommodation or multi-generational living.
To the first floor are three generous double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The principal suite is a particular highlight, enjoying dual-aspect windows with breathtaking countryside views, a large walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom.
OutsideThe gardens are a standout feature of Beatlands Farm, extending to approximately 3.8 acres. Mature flower and shrub borders surround the house, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and seclusion. The grounds include a picturesque pond and tranquil mere, a large and separate vegetable garden with accompanying sheds, two greenhouses, and a paddock. A stable block and garage further enhance the versatility and appeal of the land.
