A stunning Grade II Listed country house, offering 3,600 sq ft of beautifully presented, elegant accommodation, 5 acres of glorious gardens and paddock land within an idyllic and peaceful rural location on the Devon/Somerset border.

The Property

Kingston Farmhouse is a most charming Grade II Listed country house, dating from the 17th century and combining Georgian elegance with modern family living. Built of local stone under a slate roof, the property retains many fine period features including a colonnaded porch, chamfered beams, shuttered windows and original fireplaces, whilst offering beautifully presented, light-filled interiors.

The accommodation is arranged around a striking galleried reception hall with an elegant staircase. Two grand reception rooms enjoy high ceilings and generous proportions, while the kitchen/breakfast room provides a warm heart to the home, with handmade cabinetry, a central island, a two-oven AGA set within the original range fireplace and ample space for family dining. Further ground floor rooms include a study, cloakroom, pantry, spacious utility and a south-facing porch adjoining the kitchen.

Upstairs, the part-galleried landing leads to five generous bedrooms. The principal and second bedrooms benefit from stylish en suite bath/shower rooms, with three further bedrooms served by a family bathroom. A secondary staircase provides the flexibility to create a self-contained annex if desired.

Outside

The property is approached via timber gates and a cobbled entranceway, leading to a generous parking area and a range of outbuildings, including a green oak–framed garage block with two carports, single garage, garden store and log store.

The beautifully landscaped grounds are laid out over three terraced levels with lawns including a pond, mature trees, beautifully stocked borders and complemented by further terraced lawns behind the house. Beyond lies a long fenced paddock and approximately 220 yards of mature broadleaf woodland. In all, the gardens and grounds extend to about 4.95 acres (2 hectares).

Within the grounds is the site of an old coach house, positioned near double gates that open directly onto the lane and provide independent access. This site offers excellent potential for redevelopment, whether as a studio, stable, or annex, subject to the necessary planning permissions.
