Rural Renovations

Devon is still one of the most desirable places in the country, if not the world, to live. However, West Country Home Finders recognises that sometimes just buying a house in Devon isn't quite enough for some.

Prices for renovation projects have risen sharply over the last decade reflecting our appetite for big projects - so knowing where to look for one helps.

West Country Home Finders is aware that in certain parts of West Devon such as Winkleigh, Hatherleigh and Iddesleigh there are still many rural gems perfect for renovation.

Whilst restoring a wreck is hard work, you have the satisfaction of knowing you have saved a home from ruin and the chance to make a healthy profit if you sell it on.

Renovation can also offer more choice in lifestyle as many smallholdings in Devon have great Eco potential. And you don't have to be in "the big house" to enjoy life on a country estate in Devon. Many former workers cottages are often sold with land, making them fascinating homes in beautiful locations.
