"A substantial stone farmhouse with optional 5 acres, for an additional £65,000, in a peaceful country setting. EPC E

The Property Fawnsmoor Farmhouse is a charming and substantial period farmhouse with potential annexe wing and optional adjoining 5 acres of grazing woodland, in a delightful peaceful country location. It was originally the farmhouse to Fawnsmoor Farm, a former small working farm and has been under the current ownership for some 35 years. The property is a classic longhouse, believed to date back to the 17th century, having main walls of solid stone. It has the big advantage of not being listed.

The accommodation is extensive and versatile with an interconnecting annexe wing, equally ideal as one large home or with the annexe for a dependant relative, guest wing, long term or holiday letting investment. There is a host of character features, typical of its age and type, including an inglenook fireplace, exposed beams, flagstone floors, window seats, panelled doors and exposed wide floorboards. The annexe has recently been subject to refurbishment, although the main farmhouse would benefit from general updating.

Excellent features include oil fired central heating, uPVC sealed unit windows, wood burners, wood fired range cooker, shaker style solid wood kitchen units, granite worktops, LPG oven hob, large bathroom wet room with air bath and the annexe offers an oak fitted kitchen with granite worktops and LPG hob plus modern en suite shower room and modern downstairs shower utility.

Outside To the front of the farmhouse is a large open courtyard providing extensive parking. To the side is a delightful Japanese style garden, which faces south, featuring a large raised pond and is very well stocked. To the rear is an area of lawn, paved terrace and small lily pond with steps up to a higher vegetable garden with raised beds, vine and greenhouse. There is also a separate small orchard containing a variety of fruit trees.

Optional 5 Acres Adjoining the farmhouse to the west is a large open level field together with a small area of woodland copse. Guide price £65,000.

Fawnsmoor Farmhouse owns the long driveway from Lyme Road down to the property. This is shared by three other properties which have to contribute towards the upkeep.

Nearby is the stunning Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site with Lyme Regis and Sidmouth both easily accessible from the property.
