This handsome former farmhouse occupies a tranquil elevated position in a stunning location at the higher end of the picturesque Roncombe Valley, offering breathtaking views southwards towards the sea and Sidmouth. Nestled within the East Devon National Landscape (formerly known as AONB), the property is situated close to the pretty village of Sidbury, while Sidmouth is a short drive away.

The substantial Victorian residence, named Roncombe Farm, has been significantly enhanced in recent times undergoing an extensive programme of refurbishments. These improvements include a new roof and the installation of quality timber double-glazed windows, underfloor heating, a programmable lighting system, and integrated Sonos speakers.

On the ground floor, the bright and spacious reception hall leads to a large, double-aspect reception room with bespoke fitted cupboards and a large wood-burning stove. The kitchen/dining/living area has a free-flowing open plan layout and French doors opening to the rear courtyard.

On the first floor, there are three large double bedrooms and a smart family bathroom. The principal bedroom has a luxurious ensuite shower room. An additional bedroom, dressing room and a convenient shower room can be found on the second floor.

Outside, the property sits within grounds of just over six acres and includes four sloping paddocks sheltered by numerous mature trees and a small woodland along the northern boundary. Landscaped gardens sit at the front of the house which is enclosed by a low stone wall and a mature hedge bank. The garden has a large terrace, a wealth of shrubs and plants, and a fruit orchard.

Within the grounds, there is a charming courtyard surrounded by stone barns. The cider barn and former shippon are two-storey buildings, while the single-storey barns form an L-shape and are used as stables and storage spaces.

The house is accessed via a private driveway leading to a gravel parking and turning area.

Planning consent has been approved, with work substantially started and thus secured, for a significant rear extension that would connect the house to the cider barn. This includes a partial conversion of the barn, offering the opportunity to significantly expand the already generous living space, should the purchaser wish to proceed.
