Court Place Farm represents a truly rare opportunity to acquire a property of considerable charm and character, having been sold only once in the last 175 years. Dating back to circa 1850, this distinguished property has in more recent years undergone substantial renovation, fitted and finished to an excellent standard yet sympathetically to the period of the house. This has created a versatile and generously proportioned family home with stunning rural views in a peaceful hamlet setting, yet conveniently positioned for the popular coastal town of Sidmouth.

The accommodation is both spacious and adaptable, with a welcoming main reception hall, featuring a flagstone floor and turning staircase and having a useful boot room and cloaks/WC off. Four reception rooms are all well-proportioned, three of which have feature fireplaces. Worthy of particular mention is the living/family room which opens into an impressive kitchen/breakfast room, creating a superb heart to the home. Both rooms are ideal for every day family life and entertaining alike. Glazed doors connect the kitchen to the garden, while an extensive range of storage units and worksurfaces, together with a central island unit provide a practical and sociable space. In addition, a separate utility room offers further storage and laundry areas.

On the first floor are five bedrooms, together with an additional occasional bedroom, offering considerable flexibility for family occupation, visiting guests or home working. The principal bedroom has a dressing room and en-suite shower room, while the second bedroom has its own shower and wash basin off. A separate family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms and has both a bath and separate shower.

Set within approximately two and three quarter acres, the grounds include a level paddock adjoining The River Otter, providing an attractive rural setting, with a wonderful sense of space and connection to the surrounding countryside. Outside, the formal gardens comprise attractive lawns, established borders and an extensive paved terrace which is ideally positioned to make the most of the property’s rural outlook. The terrace provides a lovely setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and relaxation, with far reaching countryside views and beautiful sunsets to enjoy. The property is approached through electric gates opening onto a driveway with garaging and useful adjoining stores and workshops. Adding further appeal is a shepherd’s hut with its own adjoining garden area, which the current owners have successfully operated as an Airbnb, offering an opportunity for supplementary income or independent guest accommodation.

Despite its tranquil, rural position Court Place Farm is conveniently placed for Sidmouth, renowned for its attractive seafront, independent shops and range of amenities. A bus stop is within walking distance, providing an additional connection to both Sidmouth and the surrounding area.
