ThorvertonExeter, Devon, EX5 5LL

Pitt Farm is a charming 17th century south facing farmhouse set in an outstanding elevated location near the village of Thorverton and within the highly sought after Exe Valley. Although not listed, the house is characterised by its unspoilt period detailing and historic charm whilst enjoying modern touches.

Approached by a sweeping drive off a country lane, into an extensive gravelled parking area there is an immediate feel of grandeur and tranquillity. The house itself is south facing and built by cob and brick with a slate roof. Inside is utterly captivating with beautiful interiors and many period features. The three reception rooms all face south and have distinct features including impressive fireplaces, wooden or tiled floor and exposed beams. The sitting room is of particular interest with French doors that lead out onto the garden. The kitchen is equally attractive with a range of base and wall units with a slate worktop and a Belfast sink perfectly placed in front of the window which frames the views wonderfully. There is ample space for a breakfast table within the kitchen and adjacent is the utility and pantry. Further accommodation on the ground floor includes a front porch which in turn leads to a central hallway and a downstairs cloakroom with shower.

Stairs rise to the first floor where there are four double bedrooms (1 en suite) and a family bathroom. A room of particular interest is the handsome, double aspect principal bedroom with exposed beams and stairs leading to a modern yet in keeping en suite bathroom with separate shower.

Red Brick Loft and Studio
A fantastic addition to Pitt Farm is the immaculate and stylish guest accommodation, located within an adjacent barn called Red Brick where there are two beautifully presented dwellings. Configured with a studio apartment on the ground floor and a two bedroom cottage above both units are incredibly elegant and have created a healthy income for the current owners. Both Red Brick Loft and Studio enjoy their own private outside space offering privacy for guests.

The Party Barn has been is magnificent and has been used for weddings, birthday parties and other special events. Inside, there is a large floor area with a bar tucked into one side and a mezzanine first floor. Further information can be found on www.exevalleyweddings.co.uk
