Summary - WESTGATE GITTISHAM HONITON EX14 3AU
Grade II listed historic farmhouse — listing will restrict alterations
An elegant Grade II listed Devon farmhouse combining period character with recent sympathetic renovation. Set on a very large plot on the edge of Gittisham, the five-bedroom house retains exposed beams, stonework and a thatched roof while providing modern bathrooms, a refurbished kitchen and solar panels.
The grounds include a heated outdoor swimming pool, well-maintained gardens and an orchard, plus useful outbuildings including a home office/annexe — attractive for a family working from home or for flexible guest accommodation. The property sits in open countryside with long views and no flood risk, offering privacy and rural charm.
Practical considerations are straightforward and factual: the house is Grade II listed, which brings restrictions and potential extra consent costs for alterations. Heating is oil-fired via boiler and radiators and some original granite walls are uninsulated (typical for the period). Broadband is very slow and mobile signal is only average, which may affect home-working without upgrades.
Overall this is a high-quality, characterful country home for buyers seeking a substantial, renovated farmhouse with outbuildings and leisure facilities. It will particularly suit a family or buyers wanting countryside seclusion with flexible accommodation, provided they are comfortable managing listed-building responsibilities and making any energy or connectivity improvements required.
