Boycombe Farm is a remarkable country estate comprising an elegant manor house, two independent cottages and an impressive collection of traditional outbuildings, all set amidst beautiful rolling countryside in East Devon. Dating from the late 16th century, the manor house underwent an extensive refurbishment in 2015, resulting in a beautifully presented three-bedroom home which effortlessly blends historic character with refined contemporary finishes. The two cottages also underwent extensive refurbishment in 2015 with works including full rewiring and replumbing with both cottages also being reroofed.
The house features flint-rubble and stone-dressed elevations, together with arched stone-mullioned windows. Inside there are exposed timber beams, original architectural details and impressive inglenook fireplaces formed by the externally built Beerstone chimneys. The accommodation includes two generous ground-floor reception rooms, with both the sitting room and dining room displaying intricate beam work. Both rooms have woodburning stoves installed in their fireplaces, There is also a stylish contemporary kitchen featuring shaker-style cabinetry, a range cooker and a breakfast bar, while the utility room provides additional storage and appliance space. A cloakroom completes the ground floor accommodation.
On the first floor are three well-appointed bedrooms, including a superb principal suite with a vaulted ceiling, dual-aspect outlook and en-suite shower room. A contemporary family bathroom with a freestanding bath serves the remaining bedrooms. Throughout the house, rooms enjoy far-reaching views across the grounds and the surrounding countryside.
The property also benefits from excellent ancillary accommodation in the form of two self-contained cottages, one currently occupied by long-term tenants. These versatile dwellings offer potential for multigenerational living, guest accommodation or income generation. The first detached cottage [a former cider house] comprises a living room with woodburner in a large inglenook style fireplace, a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a shower room. The second cottage [a former single storey barn] is arranged on ground floor level and includes an open-plan vaulted living room and kitchen, large double bedroom and a bathroom with shower. Both cottages enjoy their own grounds.
