Period charm and 5.29 acres of gardens, orchard and woodland, four miles from Honiton.
Grade II Listed thatched farmhouse rebuilt sympathetically in 2003
Rolleshayes Farmhouse is a striking Grade II Listed thatched farmhouse set in about 5.29 acres of carefully tended gardens, orchard, water garden and newly maturing woodland. Rebuilt sympathetically in 2003 after a fire, the house retains period character — inglenook fireplaces, flagstone floors, oak leaded casement windows and exposed timbers — while offering large, well-planned living rooms and a generous principal bedroom with en-suite and superb views.
The grounds are a major asset: sheltered terraces, productive vegetable beds, a spring‑fed water garden with pond and raised deck, a powered summerhouse, and woodland planted under a grant scheme (running to 2030). The approach through electric five-bar gates, cobbled yard, detached workshop and double open car-port complement the rural setting and offer practical parking and storage.
Practical considerations are straightforward but important. The property is Grade II Listed, which will affect permitted works and maintenance; services include mains water and electricity, private drainage, oil-fired heating and extraction rights from two springs. Broadband is reported as ultrafast, mobile signal is average, and the house sits about four miles from Honiton with a mainline station and local amenities.
This will suit buyers seeking an established country home with significant outdoor amenity and wildlife interest — families, buyers relocating to the country, or those seeking a high-quality rural retreat. It is a large, characterful house with ongoing maintenance and listed‑building responsibilities to be factored into any purchase decision.
