6 bedroom detached house for sale

Tenure: Freehold

Situation

Situated amidst unspoilt farmland in the heart of Devon, this Grade II listed farmhouse lies in the little valley of the Hollocombe Water. The small Saxon hill top town of Chulmleigh,two miles away, with its cob and thatch cottages and fine church, provides excellent local shopping and amenities. The area offers very good sporting facilities, with riding, fishing, hill walking, golf and cycling available nearby. The north and south coasts are accessible via the A337 and the A30 dual carriageway, which also gives a direct route to Cornwall in the west and the M5 to the east. The historic cathedral city of Exeter is 25 miles to the south and offers a wide range of commercial, retail and educational opportunities, together with a mainline railway station (serving London Paddington and Waterloo) and an international airport.

Description

The charming farmstead, built of cob and stone, comprises a Grade II listed thatched farmhouse with adjoining cottage annexe, a very comfortable detached cottage created from a previous barn and a range of stone former farm buildings, all formed around a courtyard. The surrounding land includes separate gardens for both the house and cottage, beyond which lie the meadow land, ponds, the meandering Hollowcombe Water and natural woodlands, all interspersed with a network of paths and bridges.

Accommodation

The accommodation in the farmhouse is traditional in its presentation, with many period features, well adapted for modern living. The adjoining annexe provides a more contemporary look and the cottage has been converted to a very high standard of design and finish, giving a light and spacious feel, with lovely south facing views.
