THE PROPERTY
Eveleighs Farm House is a truly exceptional detached Grade II listed period property which has been completely comprehensively and sympathetically renovated to an exceptional standard over the seven years of current ownership. The delightful gas centrally heated accommodation has a charming entrance hall which leads to superb quality bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with solid oak storage and a large central island with granite tops and oak flooring. Further ground-floor accommodation includes a charming sitting room to the front with a window seat, ground-floor double aspect bedroom, beautiful quality bathroom with a separate shower a magnificent main reception/family room which was the former post office for the village, this is a beautiful room with period features which include ceiling beams and a dining area.
On the first-floor are the five double bedrooms, these are accessed via two separate staircases at either side of the property and therefore offer great versatile accommodation. The principal vaulted double aspect bedroom has an en-suite wc.

GARDENS
Worthy of particular mention are the lovely established gardens which in the main are to the front of the property and are laid to lawn with apple trees and a seating area. Attached to the side of the property is a substantial single storey thatched barn believed to date back to the 19th century, this is currently used for storage/workshop and could be converted into secondary accommodation subject to the necessary planning consents. An additional seating area is located at the rear alongside the driveway and good-sized shingled parking area.

SITUATION
Eveleighs Farm House is situated in the heart of the tiny Conservation Village of Gittisham within easy walk of the Grade I Listed St Michaels Church, Village Hall, and the renowned Pig at Combe country hotel and restaurant. The village has a number of notable and historic connections with Tom Putt of apple fame, and Joanna Southcott who was a self described religious prophetess who was born in 1750. The village is located in some of East Devon's most attractive countryside and yet is only 2.75 miles from the bustling market town of Honiton which has a main line Railway Station with direct trains to Waterloo. About 16 miles to the west is the City of Exeter which is also the County Town of Devon. The Jurassic Coast at Lyme Bay and World Heritage Site lies some 10 miles to the south along with Sidmouth, Beer and Branscombe only 10-15 miles away all having an array of facilities, shops, cafes and coastal walks.
