Wingham Farmhouse is a Grade II listed traditional Devon longhouse located in the heart of the pretty mid-Devon countryside just one mile from the village of Morchard Bishop. The property is constructed of plastered cob under a thatched roof, which was re-thatched just last year.
The house retains many of its outstanding period features including many exposed beams throughout the property, and open fireplaces in the reception rooms. The drawing room, dining room and billiard room are all superb family and entertaining spaces, while the kitchen/breakfast room has a four oven Aga – the ground floor also houses the pantry, wine cellar and home office/study.
Upstairs are four spacious bedrooms, all en-suite, plus a further bedroom, a laundry room and a cloakroom.
Attached to the farmhouse is a self-contained cottage which was added in the mid-20th century. Currently used as a holiday cottage, the house has a sitting room, kitchen with dining area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms, one en-suite.

Outside are some superb landscaped gardens with lawned areas and pretty borders; to the rear is a vegetable garden, a fruit cage and an orchard. Within the garden is also a heated swimming pool with a terrace.
The land comes to 25 acres and mainly consists of gently rolling fields providing good grazing, plus a small copse with mature trees, a small stream. The land is currently grazed by a tenant farmer.
A converted barn – The Goat Barn – has a sitting room, kitchen with Aga, two en-suite bedrooms, two further bedrooms and a family bathroom, and is available as a separate lot.
Wigham is situated in the heart of the unspoiled Devon countryside. Morchard Bishop has a thriving community and a post office, primary school, two churches and playing fields with a tennis court. Crediton is just eight miles and offers a wider range of amenities; Exeter is 18 miles.
