Grade 2* listed medieval farmstead with Longhouse, large Grade 2 Listed Bank Barn and smaller barn set within its own courtyard and 5.6 acres of land.
Description
Sitting on a secluded edge of the picturesque Erme Valley, amongst its own verdant slice of Devon countryside is this incredibly special Grade 2* Listed farmhouse. With its name possibly deriving from the Old English Hara (Hare) and Denu/Dun (Hill) it is highly probable that wild hare silhouettes across your fields at dusk could be sighted here at Haredon Farm.
Highly rustic, this impressive yet unpretentious homestead lies within its own land of 5.6 acres and, saturated in history is a rare example of a 15th century Devon Longhouse. Various home improvements and additions throughout the 18th and 19th centuries bridge the time-frames but essentially this remains an unspoilt gem and is crying out to be celebrated.
Approached by a private rural drive that drops below the road above, and divided into 3 separate buildings nestled within a sylvan landscape sits The Farmhouse, The Great Barn and the smaller Second Barn. The farmhouse rests underneath a slate roof with an original 18th century panel door and slated hood welcoming you inside. With a wealth of features including expansive rooms, beams, flagstone flooring, panel doors and open fireplaces Haredon Farm is a true feast for the eyes. Notably, one of the primary reasons this home is Listed is because of its unusual position across the slope of the land.
The majority of the farmhouse rooms have south-facing windows towards the courtyard and the kitchen itself takes in breathtaking views across your own land and valley beyond. Upstairs there are 4 double bedrooms with the master showcasing a vaulted ceiling with exposed ancient timbers. Delineating the true essence of the Longhouse, there is both a bathroom and shower room at opposite ends of the house and with two separate staircases, opens the opportunity for a possible guest suite.
Outside there are 3 open log and garden stores attached at the rear of the house.
The Great Barn measuring approximately 57’41 x 17’3 is also referred to as the Shippon or Bank Barn giving a nod to its (circa) 17th century past as a cattle/hay store. This is Grade 2 Listed due to its orientation being at right angles to the slope of the land. It is also important for its group value with the medieval Haredon Farmhouse. Opposite the farmhouse is a two-storey barn measuring approximately 23’1 x 12’6 on each floor.
A further archeological find includes an historic Butter Well where once upon a time a little hidey-hole in one of the fields, would be used to help preserve dairy with cool water and slate shelving. Lastly, and on a separate Grade 2 Listing is the reused granite, monolithic, cross at the entrance gate to the forecourt which is considered possibly medieval and of special architectural interest, teasing the imagination as to how it came to be in this place.
The 5.6 acres are offered as enclosed fields currently in permanent pasture with a tributary to the River Erme trickling alongside the northern boundary.
Described by Historic England as an ‘important and remarkably unaltered late medieval house’, this utterly captivating home, echoing whispers of the past, draws you in and beckons the next generation to be its loving custodian. Overall, Haredon Farm would benefit from a programme of renovation, restoration and regeneration (strc); a very unique opportunity to breathe life back into this enormously humble and unembellished home.

Situation & Amenities
With a hugely rich history that dates back to the Domesday Book Ugborough certainly looks the part. Life revolves around the large village square where sheep and cattle markets were once held and where the popular annual fair still takes place. The square is set against the backdrop of St. Peter’s 12th century church, considered locally as the ‘Cathedral of the South Hams’. The granite tower, which replaced the smaller medieval tower in the 16th century, can be seen from miles around, including Haredon Farm.
A short walk from the square takes you to the cornerstones of village life – the parish hall, two pubs/restaurants, the pre-school and primary school (which are within the catchment of the renowned Ivybridge Community College with its World Class Quality Mark Award). Just south of Dartmoor, you may be surrounded by an abundance of countryside walks from Ugborough, but you are also close to the coast for watersports enthusiasts. There is swimming and surfing at a number of nearby beaches and the Salcombe and Yealm Estuaries are favourites with sailors. For more comprehensive shopping, leisure, sport and medical facilities, there is Ivybridge to the west and Modbury to the south. Both Plymouth and Exeter are within easy commuting distance via the A379 or A38 or indeed Ivybridge’s own train station which also offers mainline services to London. Ugborough is a virtual oasis in the middle of open farmland in a beautiful corner of the South Hams.
