An exceptional country property set within 5.6 acres, featuring far-reaching views over rolling countryside, complete with a double carport and stables.

Situation - Occupying a delightful position overlooking the Umborne Valley, in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Jurassic Coast is within 4 miles, whilst the popular coastal resorts of Lyme Regis and Sidmouth are both within about 10 miles.

Three miles away is the well-renowned Colyton Grammar School and there are additional schooling options in the towns of Axminster and Honiton. Both these country towns have a wide-range of independent shops, cafes and restaurants and both sit on the London Waterloo line.

The university and cathedral city of Exeter and the county town of Taunton are also within easy reach. The property is 2 miles from the A35, which links to the A30 at Honiton, which then connects to the A303 and the M3.

Description - The property offers a wealth of characterful accommodation, thoughtfully restored by the current owners to retain its original charm. At the heart of the home is a welcoming kitchen/breakfast room, believed to have once served as the original cider press, now beautifully appointed with an Aga. An open-plan dining and family room flows seamlessly into a wonderful sun room, which enjoys panoramic views across the garden and the rolling fields beyond—perfect for both relaxed family living and entertaining. The separate dual-aspect lounge exudes character, featuring an impressive inglenook fireplace with a wood-burning stove and bi-fold doors that open onto a raised terrace. Practical additions include a spacious utility room, a ground floor WC, and a dedicated study.

The first floor offers four well-proportioned bedrooms, each thoughtfully designed with built-in wardrobes to provide ample storage. The master suite enjoys a well-appointed en suite shower room and a dressing room. Bedroom two also benefits from its own modern en suite shower room, ideal for guests or family members, while the remaining bedrooms are served by a contemporary family bathroom.

Outside - The landscaped gardens are to the rear of the property, with a beautiful backdrop of the rolling countryside. There are multiple terraced seating areas to take in the views and a wildlife pond at the bottom of the garden. At the front of the property, beyond the gravel drive is a well-maintained raised lawn with vegetable patch and greenhouse.
