GARDENS & GROUNDS
The gardens and grounds lie to the south and west of the property and are laid to level lawns and gain fabulous views over the valley. To the south is a kitchen garden with raised beds, greenhouse, polytunnel and a beautiful millennium oak tree. A further yard with a separate lane access which has been recently re-surfaced to a detached modern workshop with a new roof and a large open store to the rear. The fenced land lies to the west and runs down to the Offwell Brook and is excellent for grazing and hay/pasture. The bottom area of land adjoining the brook has been extensively reclaimed into a delightful spring fed pond which now provides a wonderful area to enjoy the tranquil setting and could also be used to camp. Adjacent to this land (via separate negotiation) is a further 4 acres of pasture for livestock and hay production which also has its own access from the lane.
SITUATION
Summerway Farm is situated within the wonderful East Devon National Landscape formally known as the AONB in a country position on the fringes of the village of Northleigh and commands stunning panoramic westerly views over some of East Devon's most glorious countryside. Set in a valley through which runs the Offwell Brook (which bounds the land), Summerway Farm enjoys a quiet rural location, yet is readily accessible to the small town of Colyton some 3 miles to the south and the market town of Honiton some 5 miles to the north. The village of Northleigh serves a small community and has a village hall and pretty parish church.
Colyton offers a good range of shopping and recreational amenities, and the renowned Colyton Grammar School, one of the country's top mixed state schools is situated about a mile outside, on the outskirts of the country village of Colyford. The town, with its beautiful medieval church, is situated amongst some of East Devon's most attractive countryside, much of which is designated as being of outstanding natural beauty and there are a myriad of footpaths in the vicinity. The market town of Honiton has a great range of independent shops and sport and leisure facilities and a mainline rail link to London (Waterloo). The stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Seaton is some 6 miles to the south and the Cathedral City of Exeter is some 21 miles to the west and has an excellent shopping centre, theatres, mainline rail link to London (Paddington), international airport as well as M5 motorway access.
