Savills, on behalf of private owners, has brought Halsbeer Farm, Kentisbeare, Devon to the market for a guide price of £1.8 million.
The charming cottage complex on the edge of the Blackdown Hills comprises a five bedroom historic thatched Devon Longhouse, four cottages, four Mongolian Yurts, an indoor swimming pool, conservatory and games room.
Set in over 30 acres (12 hectares) of Devon countryside, the property is located 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometres) from the village of Kentisbeare and 20 miles (32 kilometers) from Exeter.
The longhouse is 16th Century in origin and built of stone and cob with a Turkish reed thatched roof. It is arranged over two floors with five bedrooms on the first floor. The four authentic Mongolian Yurts lie north of the main house and can sleep between four and six people. Each yurt has a private eco toilet and field kitchen with camping gas stove, barbeque, fire pit and bore hole water supply.
Martin Rogers, director of regional hotels at Savills, comments: “With its diverse range of buildings this is a truly special property with significant opportunity for strong long-term income. The owner’s house is quite delightful full of olde worlde charm and character. We have seen an increasing demand from customers for alternative accommodations such as yurts, shepherds huts and vintage vehicles that have been repurposed as lodgings. These more unusual types of leisure accommodations provide visitors with a unique experience to the traditional hotel format and allow operators to achieve a wider appeal and additional income stream.”
