    About this property

    • Located in a delightful setting, Shotash Farm enjoys a slightly elevated position enjoying wonderful views of rolling Devon countryside.

      Designed and built by the current owners with eco credentials at the forefront of the project, Shotash Farm benefits from an A rated EPC making running costs minimal. The property is timber framed with a large amount of glazing. This impressive home is approached off a country lane into an extensive parking area which in turn leads to the front door. Inside, the inviting galleried entrance hall sets the tone for things to come and is perfect for welcoming guests. The kitchen/dining/family room is the full depth of the property and enjoys two sets of doors out onto the front south facing terrace. The kitchen itself is centred around an island and Rayburn with a range of base and draw units. There is ample space for a generous dining table alongside a seating area positioned to enjoy the rural outlook. Adjacent to the kitchen area is a useful utility room and pantry.

      Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a snug/bedroom depending on how one wishes to use the room, two double bedrooms, family bathroom and a further cloakroom with shower.

      Stairs rise to the first floor to an impressive landing which is large enough for a study or seating area. To the left is arguably the most noteworthy room, in the sitting room. This room enjoys a vaulted ceiling, exposed timbre beams, bespoke free stranding wood burner a fully glazed gable wall which frames the views perfectly and access onto the west facing terrace. There is a further study/bedroom depending on its use alongside the principal bedroom which benefits from an en suite and dressing room.

      Gardens and Grounds
      Outside is delightful with mature gardens and a paddock totalling 1.59 acres. There are numerous outbuildings including a triple bay car port, large garage/workshop, summer house and studio. The studio comprises a kitchen/living room with French doors out onto a balcony, shower room and bedroom - a perfect guest suite or home office if desired. Gardens wrap this lovely home where there are mature beds and borders.

      The paddock is behind the property and benefits from a field shelter.
