This farmhouse in the rolling countryside has a host of period features and comes with both a natural swimming pool and two additional dwellings - making it perfect for a big family.

Netherton Farmhouse, in East Allington, is a historical but unlisted building set in 7.2 acres of land, with enough space to accommodate a dozen people.

The Western end of the house is a semi-separate annexe named Baytree Cottage, which has its own private entrance but could also be used as part of the main body of the house.

The annexe is made up of an open plan reception room with a wood burner, a fitted kitchen, and a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a vaulted ceiling and mezzanine storage.

Box Tree Barn has its own driveway and parking and is arranged over two floors.

Andrew Moores of Luscombe Maye said: “Netherton Farm is a stunning example of a South Hams farmhouse with a converted barn and beautiful sweeping fields.

“It is full of interesting historical detail and has so many unique features, not least the natural swimming pool hidden in the house’s lovely gardens.

“With several different buildings, land and types of accommodation it offers a real diversity in its use and offers a true rural Devon lifestyle whilst still being close enough to many of the area’s popular towns, villages and beaches.”
