Bickington, Devon

DESCRIPTION 

Chipley Farmhouse is a spacious, light and airy detached country property that exudes the comfort and warmth of an established family home. The current owners have enjoyed the property for over 50 years since they built it in 1970. Approached by a gated entrance, with block paving, the property is positioned within beautifully manicured gardens, sweeping away to meet the South-facing paddock. This substantial residence has panoramic views over the land, that stretches away to its furthest boundary, the River Lemon. The property sits in approximately 9.75 acres, with a modern farm building that can be accessed via a separate entrance, which is ideal for those agricultural or equestrian buyers. Chipley Farmhouse has the potential to accommodate multi-generational living.

At the heart of the property is an exceptionally appointed family kitchen, with a magnificent oil fired Aga, integrated Neff appliances, granite topped central island, and a plethora of beautiful bespoke cabinets to house all your baking and cooking equipment. The kitchen benefits from a vaulted ceiling, with remote controlled skylight windows, as well as large windows over the sink, which gives a light and airy aspect and allows for a view of the trees and garden at the front of the property. A free-flowing space, the kitchen adjoins an open plan reception room, which then flows onto a cosy ‘snug’ area. This reception room has patterned ceiling coving, an inset wood burner sitting above a raised granite hearth and oak flooring. Large patio doors give access to a beautiful balcony which has a modern glass balustrade. Enjoying a South-facing aspect, the property overlooks spectacular country views to the landscaped, terraced garden, and across the fields towards the boundary of the river Lemon, beyond. From the open plan reception area, there is a further extremely generous triple aspect reception room. This is an impressive space, with vaulted beamed ceiling, skylight windows, a further inset wood burning stove, and the continued oak flooring, plus large French doors which again lead onto the balcony. Five of the bedrooms are accommodated to the West of the ground floor, with the master bedroom benefitting from bespoke fitted furniture, and en-suite bathroom with both a shower and bath. This room is dual aspect and benefits from views across into the valley and to the garden to the West. There is also a family bathroom on this level.

On the lower ground floor, the accommodation consists of a large dual aspect bedroom with en-suite shower room and French windows that lead to the patio. This room could easily be used as ancillary accommodation for multi generational living, or as another reception room. Separately accessed, on this level, there is an office that includes built in cabinets, a laundry room with plumbing for white goods and a walk in larder which has access to a cellar like space which can be utilised for storage.

The garden boasts a number of specimen trees, borders and pathways, as well as a huge block paved sun-terrace, perfect for family entertainment and barbecues. Beyond this is a kitchen garden, with raised vegetable beds and a greenhouse.

To the West of the site there is further gated entrance from the road, leading to a large area of hardstanding and a modern agricultural barn with a roller door, hardstanding, power and water.
