Situation - Pitt House enjoys a secluded yet accessible setting between the historic market towns of Chudleigh and Bovey Tracey, near the charming village of Chudleigh Knighton. Situated just south of Exeter, the property offers convenient access to the city, Dartmoor National Park, and the South Devon coastline.

Description - This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Grade II* listed home of true historical and architectural significance, nestled in a peaceful setting just south of Exeter. Designed in the 1840s by Sir George Gilbert Scott – the architect behind St Pancras Hotel and the Albert Memorial – Pitt House is one of the few remaining examples of his domestic work, built in the early Victorian Jacobean Revival style.

This remarkable residence blends period grandeur with everyday functionality.

Filled with stunning original features – including panelled doors, high ceilings with decorative cornicing, and large skirting boards – this flat is light and spacious, offering flexible living arrangements. The kitchen has ample worktop space for keen cooks, room for a washing machine, a fitted electric hob and oven, and is bright and airy thanks to two windows.

Opposite the kitchen is the first of two large double bedrooms, with fitted cupboards, a window seat, and an en-suite shower room. Further down the wide hallway is a spacious living room with an ornate fireplace and a bay window offering an elegant dining area. Off the hallway is a useful storage cupboard, and the second double bedroom, which features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom.
