Nestled in the heart of the vibrant village of Whimple, Hitts Farm House is a stunning Grade II listed detached former Manor house that beautifully marries historical charm with modern comfort. Dating back to the 16th century, with later additions, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom residence exudes character and offers an exceptional living experience.
Key Features:
Historical Elegance: This Devon Long House retains its period features, including exposed beams, original fireplaces, and stonework, all thoughtfully preserved amidst modern renovations.
Spacious Living: The property boasts generous living spaces, perfect for family life and entertaining. The five well-proportioned bedrooms provide ample accommodation, while the three bathrooms offer contemporary comfort.
Expansive Grounds: Set on large garden grounds, Hitts Farm House offers a tranquil retreat with beautifully maintained lawns, mature trees, and flowering shrubs. The extensive garden space and barns provides excellent potential for further development or income opportunities. (STPP Subject to Planning Permission).
Village Life: Whimple is a lively village with a strong sense of community, offering a range of amenities including pubs, sports teams, and multi-generational activities. The village square is a hub of activity, and the local private school buses ensure excellent educational options for families.
Convenient Location: Enjoy the convenience of a direct train service to London Waterloo from the village, making commuting or city visits effortless. The nearby towns and countryside provide additional leisure and lifestyle benefits.
Hitts Farm House is more than just a home; it is a piece of history with a promising future. Whether you are looking for a family residence, a property with development potential, or a home that offers a blend of rural charm and modern amenities, this unique property is an exceptional opportunity.
Outside
The level lawn, orchard with several varieties of fruit trees and adjoining former pony paddock offer a multitude of outdoor spaces and uses. The hedges and banks have a wide variety of trees, shrubs and bulbs to enjoy throughout the seasons.
There are multiple seating and outside dining areas around the house and grounds.
The Summerhouse has electric and Wi-Fi and has been used as an ancillary studio and home office.
The Linhay itself is currently used as bays for storage and workshops. The uses and potential of the Linhay to develop as a separate dwelling, 3G living, holiday accommodation or offices have been investigated by the current owners via a pre planning application, which they are happy to share with potential buyers, at a viewing.
There are several secure car parking options either on the cobbled courtyard or to the rear of the barn.
Extra land is available.
