Feniton House is the principal part of an imposing former rectory, Grade II listed and dating from around 1600. The house offers grand proportions, high ceilings and many original features — hand-carved oak panelling, sash windows and marble fireplaces — set within about 0.84 acres of mature gardens and private drive. With four good-size bedrooms and around 2,880 sq ft, it suits a family seeking character and space in a quiet village setting.
The layout has been improved for modern living with a large kitchen island, family-friendly sitting room opening to the kitchen, and a principal bedroom with en-suite. There are extensive reception rooms and useful outbuildings including a single garage, woodsheds and greenhouse. Rural views from the edge of the village and a bus stop at the bottom of the drive (school buses to The Kings School and Colyton) add practical convenience.
Buyers should note this is a Listed property, which will restrict alteration works and may complicate planning and repairs. The accommodation, while improved, may benefit from decorative updating in places. Services include mains water, electricity, drainage and oil-fired central heating; broadband speeds are good. There are restrictive covenants on the title and Council Tax is Band G, so running costs will be material.
Offered with no onward chain, the house presents a rare chance to secure a major period home in Feniton Old Village. It will particularly appeal to families wanting excellent local schooling options, purchasers seeking a sympathetic renovation project, or buyers who value privacy, generous gardens and pronounced historical character.
