Longhouse Farm, EX17

Longhouse Farm is a working family farm offering a wide mix of landscape options and vibes of the ‘old and new’ amongst its collection of farm buildings.

With an appearance that could easily be mistaken for multiple properties, the distinctive Devon Longhouse is in fact a single residence, with parts of the house dating back to the 1500s. Complimented with original features, traditional furnishings and overlooking a pretty cottage garden, the house is available both inside and out.

The original pig sties still adjoin the farmhouse, along with other traditional farm buildings available elsewhere on the farm including an original stone barn and old red brick granary. The working farmyard also offers modern agricultural aspects too.
