Crammed with history, Home Farm is a Devon Longhouse which was mentioned in the Domesday Book. Once thatched, it now sits under a slate roof.
Inside, the accommodation is attractively laid out and full of charming features: the kitchen has been hand-crafted from oak, and the sitting room has a working Rayburn. The main drawing room has a lovely period fireplace and access to the garden room behind. Upstairs is the master suite and four further bedrooms and a beautifully-fitted bathroom.
