3 bed detached house for sale

East Knowstone, South Molton, Devon EX36

Located in the rural village of Knowstone, this unlisted farmhouse presents an excellent opportunity for renovation and improvement. The property includes a three-bedroom house, an adjoining workshop/barn, good-sized gardens, parking, and the former Goat House at the front of the house.
The main house offers well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two floors. Upstairs comprises three bedrooms and a family bathroom. On the ground floor, there is a living room with an inset wood-burning stove, a separate dining room or study, a rear kitchen, utility room, and a hall with stairs to the first floor.

Attached to the house is a spacious workshop/barn with potential for conversion into additional living space, subject to the necessary planning permissions. This area could be ideal for use as an annexe, home office, or studio.

Externally, the gardens are mostly laid to lawn with a pond, a variety of mature trees, and attractive views across neighbouring farmland. The property also benefits from off-road parking.

Fairview comes with commons rights and each year the owner of Fairview is paid by the Haresdown and Knowstone Moors Management Association from money received from the rpa for a Higher Tier Environmental Scheme. The Association pays those with commons rights an amount to compensate them for not being able to exercise their rights due to the terms of the environmental scheme.

There is no obligation for the Association to pay commoners and consequently as new schemes are entered into the money paid to commoners for not exercising their rights may decrease or even be removed. The current environmental scheme runs until 2027 so it is likely that payments will continue until that point.
