Higher Killatree Farm, Killatree, Holsworthy EX22

Steeped in history and brimming with character, Higher Killatree Farm is a truly exceptional Grade II Listed period farmhouse that has been sympathetically restored to create an idyllic three/four-bedroom family home. Believed to date back to 1542, with an even earlier settlement recorded in the Domesday Book, this remarkable residence seamlessly blends centuries of heritage with carefully considered modern comforts,
offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Devon history.
Throughout the home, an abundance of original period features have been lovingly preserved, including magnificent inglenook fireplaces, one complete with its original bread oven, exposed ceiling beams, traditional flagstone flooring, deep-set window seats and the charming original Bible cupboard. These timeless details combine to create a home of exceptional warmth, character and authenticity.
The heart of the property is the beautifully appointed kitchen/breakfast room, thoughtfully renovated in 2023. Designed with both family living and entertaining in mind, it features a classic Rangemaster cooker, quality integrated cabinetry, solid work surfaces and a traditional Belfast sink, all complementing the
farmhouse's historic charm while providing contemporary convenience.
The elegant drawing room is a welcoming and atmospheric space, centred around a stunning inglenook fireplace and enhanced by a delightful window seat overlooking the beautifully landscaped gardens. Adjacent to this is the cosy snug, where original flagstone flooring and an impressive stone inglenook fireplace with its
original bread oven create a wonderfully intimate setting. The historic Bible cupboard serves as a fascinating reminder of the property's rich heritage. Flowing naturally from the snug is a generous dining room, perfectly suited to family gatherings and entertaining on a larger scale.
Completing the ground floor is a luxurious family bathroom, also refurbished in 2023, featuring a
freestanding roll-top bath and high-quality fittings, creating an elegant sanctuary in keeping with the property's character.
A charming wooden spiral staircase rises to the first floor, where three beautifully presented bedrooms all retain exposed beams and a wealth of original character. The principal bedroom enjoys delightful views across the gardens and surrounding countryside, extending towards Bodmin Moor on clear days, providing
an ever-changing rural backdrop.
Outside, the property is equally impressive. The beautifully landscaped gardens extend to approximately 0.75 acres, offering an idyllic setting for relaxation and outdoor entertaining. An established orchard is home to a variety of mature fruit trees, while a productive vegetable garden provides the opportunity for a true country lifestyle.
For equestrian enthusiasts or those seeking extensive outbuildings, Higher Killatree Farm offers exceptional facilities. The traditional stable block comprises four Lodden loose boxes together with a separate tack room, while an adjoining barn provides two additional stables. The former shippon has been fitted with electricity and offers highly versatile accommodation suitable for use as a workshop, hobby space, home office or further storage, subject to any necessary consents. A range of additional outbuildings further enhances the
property's flexibility.
Beyond the gardens lie approximately 4 acres of level grazing land, making the property ideally suited to equestrian pursuits, smallholding aspirations or simply enjoying an enviable rural lifestyle. Combining outstanding historical significance, beautifully restored accommodation, excellent equestrian facilities and glorious countryside surroundings, Higher Killatree Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a truly
