Woodhead farm occupies a delightful rural location in a quiet wooded valley. Situated at the end of a long lane in an idyllic, sylvan setting is this delightful rural property.
Set in approximately 7.5 acres of beautiful gardens, pasture, ancient woodland and ponds, Woodhead Farm is a beautifully presented, fully modernised off-grid farmhouse enjoying exceptional privacy and a peaceful rural setting, complemented by a substantial two-storey garage/workshop with excellent future potential (subject to the necessary consents). Woodhead Farm has its own water, drainage, and electricity generated from photovoltaic panels/battery storage with a generator back-up. The photovoltaics provide an income each year annum and the current owners have benefited greatly from having their own wood supply.

The land provides beautifully landscaped gardens, wildlife ponds, wooded & meadow areas plus vegetable garden all allowing a very much self sufficient smallholding lifestyle. There is easy access to many country walks including up onto Dartmoor and there is also direct Bridleway access from the lane for those with equestrian interests.

The house itself offers well laid out accommodation over two floors with bright and welcoming rooms which benefit from excellent views over its own land and valley for those rooms facing the front. Internally there is a conservatory overlooking a level garden and the valley, a large living room with a woodburner, separate dining room with solid fuel Rayburn, a newly installed kitchen, and a WC. To the first floor are the four bedrooms and a recently installed modern bathroom suite.

Externally there is a level area of garden to the front, along with ample parking whilst the remainder of the land is divided into wildlife and nature paddocks with a number of exotic trees, wildlife ponds, and wildflower areas. The woodland slopes down to a stream and some ponds below the formal garden. There are extensive areas for an orchard and vegetable garden and polytunnel whilst also offering a range of outbuildings which include a versatile 2 storey garage/workshop (7.31m x 4.87m) ideal for hobbies, homeworking or storage, with potential for conversion to additional living or holiday accommodation, subject to any necessary consents, a lean-to store (8.45m x 1.45m), shed and log store (8.22m x 4.21m), generator shed (3.78m x 2.54m), workshop (6.80m x 3.58m) with battery storage facility, and a lean-to pole barn (9.44m x 3.05m).
