Devon Farmhouse

Introduction

Situated in the stunning rural setting of Devon’s South Hams is Devon Farmhouse, a wonderful country house to rent, ideal for large house parties. Being a grade II listed building Devon Farmhouse has been a local landmark for generations, and now, through thoughtful restoration ensuring that all of its traditional character has been preserved, the house and it’s surrounding buildings now provide boutique accommodation for people seeking a country escape. The main farmhouse sleeps 16 guests, with plenty of entertaining areas large enough to accommodate everyone. The adjacent Barns, sleeping another 12 guests, can be rented in addition if required.

The History

This beautiful old Farmhouse was built around 1840, is grade 2 listed and has been artfully renovated in a stylishly authentic way.

The Barns originate from the late 1700’s and were originally part of a dairy farm. They too have been beautifully renovated to enhance the original features including the Devon and Cornish stone from which they are built.

Accommodation

As well as a large kitchen with dining area and a formal dining room, there is a family room and reading room. The rooms have been beautifully restored using natural materials and have a wonderfully light and airy feel with flagstone or parquet flooring. Outside there are large grounds with a swimming pool, open from May to October, and a fishing lake.

Bedrooms

There are eight en-suite bedrooms, all with either king or super-king sized beds.

The first floor has 5 stylishly furnished double bedrooms, all with either ensuite shower or shower and bath. The ensuite to bedroom 5 is accessed via a quirky wrought iron spiral staircase.

The remaining 3 double bedrooms are found on the second floor and have ensuite shower or shower and bathrooms.

Party Spaces

The innovative owners have made the best use of all the farm has to offer by creating some large areas for partying. These can all be hired in addition to the House hire.

They include The Glasshouse, a former walled garden, now a large covered space for up to 180 people; The Hut, a former Nissan Hut, now fully insulated with under floor heating and The Dairy Kitchen, a semi industrial kitchen which can be hired for large dinner parties or cookery demonstrations.

Devon Farmhouse Barns

Immediately next to Devon Farmhouse are Devon Farmhouse Barns, which have been beautifully converted into en-suite bedrooms. There are six Barns, some interconnecting, each with luxurious double or twin bedrooms and some also have sofa beds for additional guests. These can be rented together with the House in order to sleep from 28 to 36 guests.

The Grounds

Devon Farmhouse sits in a vast area of stunning countryside with far reaching views. The grounds include a lily pond, stream and swimming pool.

During your stay

Devon Farmhouse is located in the stunning South Hams area of Devon.

Take a trip to the Elizabethan town of Dartmouth to browse the shops, quayside, art galleries and restaurants, or explore by boat or on the South Devon Steam Railway.

Dartmoor, Buckfast Abbey, and Riverford Farm are wonderful places to visit, whilst the children would love an outing to Pennywell Farm or the pretty South Devon beaches. For the literary minded, a visit to Agatha Christie’s Greenway House makes a wonderful day out.
