Yarcombe, Honiton, Devon, EX14

A wonderfully situated period farmhouse, having been beautifully restored and occupying a highly convenient setting close to good communications.

A small ‘No Through Lane’ leads to the entrance of Hill House Farm which enjoys an enchanting south easterly aspect and as previously mentioned enjoys glorious views. Built of local flint stone elevations, the farmhouse has been beautifully and meticulously restored in the last couple of years by the present owners and now provides a well decorated and spacious country home. The main entrance leads into a terracotta tiled floor hallway which leads to cloaks area, cloakroom and utility room. The kitchen is well fitted with a range of floor mounted cabinets with central island and includes two multi-purpose ovens, dishwasher and induction hob. There is a further circular sink set into the worksurface with cupboards below. There is ample room for a large dining table and a large window for enjoying the views. There is a walk-in pantry and store room which could lead to the single storey attached barn providing excellent scope to extend the living space (subject to all necessary permissions).

A staircase hall has a drinks cupboard and turning staircase to the first floor and doors leading into the drawing room with period style fireplace and French doors leading out onto the south facing terrace. There is an adjoining sitting room with period fireplace and bookcase, a study with recessed shelving and a snug/family room with fireplace and cupboards on either side.

The turning staircase leads up to a mezzanine landing with bedroom and family bathroom and continues to the principal landing leading to the master bedroom with two recessed cupboards, well fitted dressing room and en suite bathroom with panelled bath, shower, two wash basins set into marble surface with cupboards below. There are two further bedrooms both with built-in cupboards. The third bedroom with built-in cupboards leads into the inner landing which has a staircase down to the kitchen and has doors to a further bathroom with shower, WC, panelled bath and wash basin and two further bedrooms.

Gardens & Grounds

The gravelled drive leads up to the property and opens out to provide ample parking in front of the substantial stone barn where on the ground floor there is a double garage, single garage/garden implements store and a workshop store. The first floor of the barn has double doors leading in from the lawned gardens on the west side and is arranged on two floor levels and provides excellent scope for conversion if so wished, subject to all necessary planning permission. A single storey barn provides stabling and is divided into two good size loose boxes. Gently sloping lawned gardens wrap around the west side of the house divided by a small stream and stone bridge and are bounded by deep well stocked shrubberies. The gardens lying to the rear include a sitting out terrace, herb garden, a small orchard area and a path leading to the traditional double gates leading into the first of four pastures which rise to the west side of the property and are surrounded by mature hedging with native trees and a belt of mixed woodland. The gardens and grounds at Hill House Farm amount to about 6.18 acres (2.50 Hectares)
