This period farmhouse for sale is hundreds of years old with rural views and a “hidden” room.
Budleigh Farm, in West Buckland, dates back to the 16th century and is Grade II listed, being full of period features such as inglenook fireplaces, beamed ceilings and stone mullion windows.
Entering the property, a panelled front door leads into a cross passage hall with exposed timbers.
The central reception room is a kitchen, living and dining room which was originally a farm barn and has been converted into part of the home, with a wood-burning stove, oak French doors, a limestone tiled floor and fitted kitchen units.

The agent commented: “Dating back to the 16th Century and packed with period features including a cross passage hallway, flagstone floor, inglenook fireplaces, panelled walls, stone mullion windows and beamed ceilings it is not surprising that Budleigh Farm is Grade II Listed.
“The traditional buildings at Budleigh Farm have been converted from their original purpose and now provide a wide range of additional accommodation offering a future purchaser many options.”
