Pomeroy House is a rare, fully renovated Grade II thatched country house dating from 1647, set within about 4.26 acres of formal lawns, mature trees, a heated swimming pool and a grass tennis court. The house combines late-Georgian elegance — tall ceilings, sash windows, original fireplaces and a grand staircase — with contemporary comforts such as an underfloor-heated orangery and a carefully restored kitchen with AGA. The elevated east-facing drawing room and principal bedroom enjoy expansive rural views across rolling Devon countryside.
The private, tree-lined gated drive and generous gravel parking provide discreet arrival and substantial off-street parking. Ancillary space includes a 17th-century thatched barn, three smaller period outbuildings and a walled former kitchen garden — all quietly useful but also separately Grade II listed. The property has been sympathetically refurbished over seven years and presents in immaculate condition internally.
Important practical points: the house is Grade II listed which will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or extension plans. The thatched Devon reed roof, secondary glazing and oil-fired boiler require specialist servicing and higher upkeep costs. Broadband speeds are very slow and the site has a medium flood risk in places. These factors suit buyers prioritising character, privacy and landscape rather than low-running-cost modern convenience.
Pomeroy House suits a family or household seeking a prestigious country estate with formal gardens, leisure facilities and excellent privacy, who are comfortable with conservation responsibilities and higher maintenance commitments. Its village location places country living within easy reach of Honiton, nearby coasts and regional transport links.
