Lot 1 - Pitfield Farm. A productive farm in a favoured, East Devon location with high amenity and recreational appeal.
Description
Owned and maintained by the same family since 1988, Pitfield is an outstanding farm in an unspoilt location on the southern edge of the popular and picturesque Blackdown Hills AONB. At its heart is a spacious six bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse surrounded by a charming landscaped garden and an exquisite range of traditional outbuildings arranged around a cobbled courtyard. There are useful modern buildings both at the main farmstead and a further separate barn with potential for Class R with its own access direct from the council road. The majority of the land is down to productive pasture, whilst some fields have been planted to native broadleaved woodland. Within the farm is a fascinating run of woodland land along the beautiful valley bottom.
The diverse land types, including productive improved grassland and woodland provides extraordinary opportunities for delivering environmental benefits and enhancing wildlife.
Lot 1:
Farmhouse: Pitfield Farm is a south-facing, Grade II listed farmhouse situated in a wonderfully private setting. Built in the 18th century with stone elevations and a thatched roof, the property—historically known as Pitfield Barton—has roots dating back to the 15th century. The six-bedroom home has been extended to include a spacious drawing room and a bright, modern open plan kitchen, while retaining period features such as inglenook fireplaces and chamfered beams. At the heart of the home is a large kitchen/breakfast room with handmade cabinetry and four oven Aga. Alongside the dining room and snug, the 34-foot drawing room provides an impressive reception area with direct access to the south-facing gardens. Outside, the well-kept gardens provide a mix of paved terraces, gravelled areas, and a stream-fed water feature, with an orchard just beyond the formal grounds.
Outbuildings: Reflecting the site’s agricultural heritage, the courtyard features a historic thatched threshing barn from the 18th or 19th century, alongside the Old Cider House. To the east of the courtyard is a small stone store, while north of the traditional buildings is a useful range of modern buildings including a machinery store (3), general purpose building (4), cattle building & stabling (5) as shown opposite.
Land: Set within a picturesque rural landscape, the property offers gently sloping, west-facing pasture that is ideal for livestock, equestrian, conservation or purely amenity use. The land has been well farmed with the majority stock proof fenced. Extending to 111.72 acres in total, this interesting run of interconnecting land is predominantly down to species rich pasture with wooded areas and ponds providing considerable conservation appeal.
Location
Pitfield Farm is situated in a scenic unspoilt landscape close to the southern edge of the Blackdown Hills AONB. The historic market town of Honiton is just 3.5 miles distant and offers a wide range of retail and commercial outlets together with a mainline train station. Meanwhile, to the south west the Cathedral City of Exeter offers cultural richness, historical landmarks, and modern conveniences. Access to the coast is within easy reach with the popular seaside destinations of Lyme Regis, Beer, Branscombe and Sidmouth all within 15 miles. There is a good selection of gastropubs pubs locally including the Cotley Inn, Wambrook; The Tytherleigh Arms and the Kings Arms, Stockland.
The area is well served for schools with a range of coeducational private schools for all ages, in Exeter, Taunton and Sherborne.
