Pitt Farm is a substantial Grade II listed farmhouse set in around 12.3 acres of formal gardens, paddocks, sand school and woodland. The house offers generous family accommodation across three floors, including six bedrooms, several reception rooms and a large bespoke kitchen/breakfast room with French doors to the garden. The setting is private and rural yet only about 3.4 miles from Exeter, making it practical for schooling and commuting.
The estate includes a substantial stone and cob barn with two stables and vehicular access, offering potential for an annexe or holiday let subject to the necessary consents. There are useful informal maintenance arrangements in place for grounds and grazing that the buyer may be able to continue. The white goods are included in the sale; most indoor furniture and garden equipment are available by separate arrangement.
There are several material matters buyers must note. The property is Grade II listed which restricts alterations and will complicate conversions or major works. The EPC is F and heating is oil-fired with some radiator and electric heating; walls are assumed to lack insulation. The site is within a high flood-risk area and uses a private drainage system whose compliance is unknown — purchasers should satisfy themselves on drainage, flood risk mitigation and listed-building constraints before committing.
This home will suit a family seeking space, privacy and equestrian or amenity land close to Exeter, or a buyer wanting a country property with development potential (subject to planning and listed-building consent). The motivated, chain-free sale may appeal to those prepared to manage the listed status, energy improvements and site-specific services.
