THE PROPERTY.
Monkton Park Farm is a handsome detached residence which has origins dating back several centuries and has evolved greatly over the years with two large extensions to the rear, the later put on by the current owners. This has resulted in the spacious home we find today. It has also been the subject of a considerable programme of restoration and refurbishment and is found in beautiful order, blending the traditional character of the original cottage with more contemporary features. This is most apparent with the glorious oak and glass sunroom with its roof lantern. Period features include ceiling beams, exposed stone walls and an impressive inglenook fireplace to the sitting room which has an unusual angled bressummer beam.
The property benefits from four bedrooms to the first floor, the principal of which is a large, double aspect room with fabulous views, dressing area with wardrobes and en-suite shower room.
GARDENS & GROUNDS.
Undoubtedly one of Monkton Park Farm’s main features is its stunning setting which offers great privacy and is a haven for flora and fauna. The driveway swings around to the side of the house where there is a large parking area, adjacent to which is the attached triple garage and a timber potting shed.
The gardens surround the cottage and are in the main laid to lawn and interspersed with a huge variety and well-established trees and shrubs which create the most apt setting. There is an orchard with several mature apple trees, pond and a more formal garden to the north which is currently a mass of colour. There is also a woodshed (former garage) off the driveway and a former privy within the gardens.
The land encompasses the house and is level and of good quality. It is divided into three main areas of pasture with a separate access and extends to about 15.8 acres, with the site as a whole extending to circa 16.8 acres.
SITUATION.
Monkton Park Farm is located on the country outskirts of the picturesque and highly desirable village of Payhembury and sits amongst some of East Devon's most attractive rolling countryside just south of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Although rural in feel, it is readily accessible with the village just a short walk away, as well as the busy market town of Honiton which is about a fifteen minute drive.
Payhembury is a desirable village and has a delightful small village green overlooked by its ancient Parish Church of St Mary's and popular public house. It also has a primary school, village shop and a strong community with many social events throughout the year. Honiton lies about 5 miles to the south east and has a variety of independent shops and supermarkets, sport and leisure facilities and main line rail link to London Waterloo.
Exeter, the County Town, is approximately 15 miles to the west with an excellent shopping centre, theatres, sport and leisure facilities, M5 access and international airport.
The renowned Kings School at Ottery St Mary is approximately 5.5 miles away and Colyton Grammar School, one of England's top co-educational state schools, is some 17 miles to the south west. The World Heritage Jurassic Coast at Lyme Bay is about 12 miles distant.
PLANNING POTENTIAL.
The driveway continues passing the meadow to the east to the former farm buildings which have approved planning permission for a detached 2 bedroom residential dwelling. These comprise a former piggery and adjoining traditional barns, and a modern block built garage/workshop which could be linked to form ‘U’ shaped barn conversion. The plans can be viewed on the East Devon District Council Planning Portal using Ref: 21/1043/FUL
DIRECTIONS.
From Honiton High Street, at the traffic lights, turn into Dowell Street and onto the A373. Follow this road through the village of Awliscombe and up to the top of the hill. Continue through a wooded section and take the third left hand turning. Follow this lane for just over a mile to the junction and turn right. Monkton Park Farm will be found after a short distance on your right hand side.
