Centery Farm presents a rare chance to embrace the idyllic Devon countryside while enjoying the rewards of a well-established income stream. This beautifully remodelled Victorian farmhouse, complete with two attached and luxuriously appointed cottages and an additonal detached cottage, sits within secluded grounds and offers an exciting prospect for those dreaming of multi generational living, lifestyle change, or a turnkey holiday rental business. Currently operating as a highly successful and profitable self-catering holiday retreat, the property’s financials are available upon request. Whether you’re looking to expand an existing portfolio, build a business from home, or simply live surrounded by nature while hosting paying guests, Centery Farm is a ready made solution.

The Main House The heart of the property is a characterful, extended family home that blends period charm with modern comfort. Step into a welcoming entrance hall that flows into generous ground-floor living spaces—including a sitting room with a feature fireplace, and a light-filled 22 ft. reception dining room that opens onto a sunny south-facing terrace. A farmhouse-style kitchen, complete with range cooker, wooden cabinetry and ample workspace, is ideal for family meals or entertaining guests. A separate utility kitchen, laundry room, office, cloakroom and larder offer practicality in abundance. Upstairs, you’ll find four well proportioned bedrooms—two of which benefit from large en suite bathrooms—as well as a stylish family bathroom.

Duckdown Cottage Adjoining yet private, this spacious two-storey cottage is perfect for guests or extended family. It features a bright living room with fireplace and garden access, a fitted kitchen with utility room, and two double bedrooms—each with its own en suite.

The Dairy Cottage With single-level living and a sleek, open-plan design, The Dairy Cottage is another standout feature. It offers a stunning kitchen, living and dining space with bi-fold doors opening to its own private garden, a freestanding log-burning stove, three en suite bedrooms, and a guest cloakroom perfect for holiday letting or independent living. The Milking Shed is also single-storey but is detached and features a vaulted open-plan reception/kitchen with French doors to a private garden, in addition to a pair of bedrooms served by a modern shower room. This section of the property has been converted in recent years, giving a modern feel.

The Jam Shed is available as a two bed static caravan, which brings in additional holiday let income.
