Historic farmhouse with outbuildings and orchard 2.16 (0.87 ha). Freehold. Council Tax Band F.
SITUATION
The property is set in the heart of Cheriton, a small hamlet a short distance from the village of Payhembury with a pub, church, primary school and community shop. The local vicinity is quiet and unspoilt, with gentle hills and valleys, creating a beautiful rural setting. The larger nearby village of Feniton has a range of facilities including a station on the Waterloo line.
Readily accessible to the south is the small town of Ottery St Mary, the town has a range of useful facilities including the renowned The Kings School.
Honiton to the south east, offers a good range of amenities with its selection of independent shops and a twice weekly market. The Cathedral City of Exeter lies to the west with a comprehensive array of retail and leisure facilities. The M5 is easily accessible at J28 (Cullompton), providing great links to Cornwall to the south and Bristol and London to the north and east. There are regular rail services to London Paddington from Tiverton Parkway and Exeter International Airport provides a number of domestic and international flights.
DESCRIPTION
Understood to date from the late 17th century, this beautiful historic home is Grade II listed and has had various alterations over the past few hundred years including a Flemish bond brick front elevation. Inside there is a wealth of character as you might expect with exposed timbers and more modern period fireplaces just waiting to be explored. Now in need of some extra love and attention the property has the potential to be a wonderful family home.
The accommodation includes three large rooms across the front, used as a farmhouse kitchen including a Rayburn and range of units, dining room and drawing room. There is also a large cross passage hall leading to a downstairs bathroom, whilst off the rear is the former service wing with potential utility and study space.
