Its location affords lovely views of the East Devon Countryside. The popular small town of Colyton is just 2 miles away offering everyday amenities along with a wealth of historic buildings.

The Property

The Victorian farmhouse is constructed of local stone and rendered elevations with brick quoins under a slate roof, overlooking its land down to the Umborne Brook. Originally one of the farms from the Shute Estate, once owned by the Marchioness of Dorset. The farm was purchased by Mrs Suzette Sprague over 50 years ago and comes to the open market after her death in 2023 following instructions from her Executors. Much of the charm and character of the house has been retained, with period features throughout the property. The reception rooms are all well-proportioned, offering spacious and welcoming accommodation.
Please see floorplan for accommodation and measurements.
