A charming, 17th century detached farmhouse situated in the heart of this highly sought after and scenic East Devon village next to the River Otter. 'Basclose Farmhouse' is beautifully presented and the current owner has ensured many interesting and original features, both inside and out, have been retained. The characterful accommodation is notably light for such a property due to its southerly orientation, many principal rooms enjoy double aspects and pleasant views over the village. The roof was completely re-thatched in 2014 and re -ridged September 2023.The gardens and grounds are approximately quarter of an acre. These are extensive and enjoy a great deal of privacy with many delightful features including a formal lawned area, a productive orchard, a linhay providing storage and a summerhouse (with extensive decking area) from which fine views over the village can be enjoyed.The Linhay and connected barns offer superb potential to convert and provide ancillary accommodation, an annexe or income opportunity.The property was likely the product of two builds, the first as a single storey building in the second half of the 16th century, with the top storey and both chimneys added in 1627. The walls of the house are of plastered cob on stone rubble footings and the roof is thatched. The house, farm buildings and land were owned by the same family from about 1602 to 1836. By then it comprised 36.5 acres scattered widely in the village.In 1836 it was sold to Lord Rolle and incorporated into what has become Clinton Devon Estates. By 1959 the farmhouse and buildings were in a neglected state and a local lady bought them and very carefully restored and modernised the house and restored the Linhay. The house continues to be lovingly maintained and cherished by the current owner.
