Homeliving Farm, Germansweek, Beaworthy EX21

Homeliving Farm is an imposing and characterful Victorian stone farmhouse, beautifully restored and nestled in the highly sought-after village of Germansweek. Sitting proudly within a courtyard setting, the property enjoys an elevated position with sweeping views across the Wolf Valley and towards the stunning Roadford Reservoir, offering a truly picturesque backdrop that changes with the seasons.

Sympathetically renovated in recent years, the home has been carefully restored to retain its period elegance while ensuring comfort for modern family life. Original features have been preserved wherever possible, with high ceilings, slate floors, and striking fireplaces creating a sense of timeless character. These sit alongside quality upgrades, including bespoke cabinetry, double-glazed sash windows, and oil-fired central heating, blending old and new with effortless charm. Extending to over 3,000 sq. Ft, the accommodation is vast and versatile, offering flexibility to suit a wide variety of lifestyles.

At its heart lies a bespoke kitchen and breakfast room, designed to combine everyday practicality with style. The dual-aspect living room enjoys an abundance of natural light and is centred around a feature fireplace, making it a warm and welcoming space for family gatherings. The impressive dining hall stretches over 30 feet in length and creates a superb setting for entertaining on a grand scale. A cloakroom, utility room, and further reception space add to the practicality, while stairs lead to a useful office area or storage space.

The property provides six bedrooms in total, cleverly arranged to suit family living and visiting guests. On the ground floor, a well-proportioned en-suite bedroom offers excellent versatility, whether for a dependent relative, overnight visitors, or annexe-style accommodation. The first floor presents four double bedrooms, all enjoying lovely aspects across the surrounding countryside, served by a centralised family bathroom with both a bath and a walk-in shower.

Adding a touch of individuality, a sixth bedroom is reached via its own secret staircase, tucked away beneath exposed a-frames and benefitting from a private en-suite shower room. This unique arrangement creates an ideal retreat, perfect for older children or guests seeking privacy within the home.

Externally, the setting is every bit as impressive as the house itself. Approached through a courtyard with a central turning circle, the property also benefits from a separate access leading to a detached garage, workshop, and further parking. The landscaped gardens frame the panoramic views, while the total plot extends to nearly nine acres, incorporating formal grounds, a paddock, and private woodland. This combination of beautifully maintained gardens and expansive natural surroundings provides a truly tranquil environment, offering both privacy and a wealth of lifestyle opportunities for outdoor pursuits.
