Description
Believed to be over 300 years old, Church Farmhouse is a well presented, four-bedroom detached home positioned prominently in the heart of Shebbear’s attractive village square.
Rich in heritage and once serving as the Village Inn, Post Office and original farmhouse, it remains one of the village’s most distinctive and admired properties.
Beautifully presented throughout, the house offers generous and versatile accommodation. The ground floor briefly comprises a porch, living room, sitting room, dining room, kitchen, utility room and shower room, while the first floor provides four well-proportioned bedrooms and a family bathroom. Character features are abundant, from slate flagstone floors in the kitchen to exposed beams in the principal reception rooms and bedrooms. Deep stone fireplaces with woodburning stoves add warmth and atmosphere, and the kitchen retains its original 1940s solid-fuel Rayburn, now complemented by oil-fired central heating system. Outside, the property enjoys a private rear garden, workshop, large garage and off-street parking for up to three vehicles.
Shebbear is a thriving and well-served rural community offering a traditional pub, Primary School, 14th-century Church, village store and mobile Post Office. The Village Hall forms the social heart of the community, hosting popular annual flower shows, regular clubs, activities and charity events. Nearby is Shebbear College, an esteemed independent school providing education through to A-level.
Church Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial historic home offering charm, space and modern comfort in a sought-after village setting. Internal viewing is highly recommended to appreciate the quality and character on offer.
SITUATION
Church Farmhouse stands as one of the most distinguished homes in the heart of Shebbear’s attractive village square, perfectly positioned with the historic Church to the south and the traditional village pub just across the way.
The village offers an excellent range of amenities including a traditional pub, well-regarded Primary School, 14th-Century Church, convenient village store, monthly mobile library and a mobile Post Office service. The Village Hall sits at the centre of community life, hosting a popular annual flower shows as well as regular events and charity gatherings. Nearby sits Shebbear College, a respected independent school offering education through to A-level.
Shebbear is a village where tradition thrives. Each year, residents gather on The Square for the turning of the famous Devil’s Stone, an ancient ritual said to date back to pagan times, believed to protect the village from evil spirits. Remarkably, this historic stone lies just beyond the boundary of Church Farmhouse.
The area is wonderfully placed for exploring the region, with the sandy beaches of Bude and the dramatic North Cornish and North Devon coasts accessible in around 45 minutes and Exeter city centre commutable in approximately one hour.
