Description
ABOUT THE PROPERTY
Higher Furze is a unique hidden gem tucked away within a superb setting on the edge of the small semi-rural hamlet known as Furze, just 1 mile from the popular village of Chittlehampton. This charming and versatile package offers a variety of attractive elements including woodland, orchard, a small lake and pastureland. Together with a range of outbuildings appealing to a wide range of purchasers with amenity, agricultural and equestrian interests, in all, the property extends to approx. 5.64 acres. The property may be available with less land, if preferred.
Believed to originally date back to the 17th century, Higher Furze is a traditional stone and cob constructed Grade II Listed former farmhouse. A later conversion has incorporated the adjoining stone threshing barn and a more recent enlargement of accommodation to the north and east elevations of a modern block cavity construction. The roof coverings are terracotta pan tiles. The property is even referred to as 'An introduction to Local Traditions' by Peter Beecham as a prime example of a well renovated traditional Devon building.
There is an abundance of charm and period features throughout the quirky and eclectic accommodation which briefly comprises; entrance cross passage, leading to a large triple aspect dining hall with vaulted ceiling and exposed A frame beams, Woodwarm woodburning stove and stairs to the galleried/mezzanine studio and first floor. Adjoining the hall, is a cosy living room with large inglenook fireplace complete with bread oven and also containing a Woodwarm woodburning stove. This leads to a dining room, a well appointed farmhouse style kitchen/breakfast room, an adjoining utility and cloakroom. From the utility a further staircase leads to the first floor landing. Adjoining the kitchen is a large triple aspect reception/family room with patio doors, which enjoys lots of natural light and provides an adaptable space.
The first floor provides three double bedrooms, the master with a traditional style en-suite bathroom and a separate family shower room. The landing links back to the mezzanine/gallery studio, currently used as a fourth bedroom. The accommodation benefits from timber casement double glazed windows together with an oil fired central heating system.
For layout and approximate room measurements please see the enclosed floorplan and refer to the Virtual Tour & Video.
THE GARDENS & LAND
Approached via a private gated entrance drive, the property enjoys ample parking, and the driveway continues linking to a secondary entrance beside the woodland and lake. Within the parking area is a double garage with store to the side and lean-to, a more recently constructed larger four car garage/workshop also with open fronted lean-to. These buildings benefit from power and lighting connected, with an array of Solar PV panels above the double garage roof space.
Large established south facing gardens and grounds adjoin the front patio areas and lead through to the woodland and lake with central island and foot bridge. Beside the main lawned garden is a young orchard, and a self built hexagon shaped shell house with feature pond. The adjoining pasture is part divided into two paddocks with a separate gated entrance from the lane and contains a former timber field shelter.
In all, Higher Furze extends to about 5.64 acres.
The property may be available without the 2.5 acres of pasture land to the north and would extend to about 3.15 acres. Further detail available upon request.
