Helmore Farm is a substantial period farmhouse with Grade II listed status that dates from around the late 16th or early 17th century. It benefits from exquisite period features throughout including an attractive thatched roof, stone and rendered elevations, exposed timber beams and original inglenook fireplaces.
The main reception room is the 32ft, triple aspect drawing/sitting room with its stone-built inglenook fireplace which is fitted with a wood burning stove. There is also a formal dining room with another grand inglenook fireplace, also with a log burner. The spacious kitchen offers lots of storage in fitted units and has sleek granite worktops, an eye-catching red aga and space for a large family dining table. The adjoining laundry room provides further space for appliances and storage.
There is one bedroom on the ground floor which has its own entrance and an en suite wet room that could be used as part of a self-contained annexe, or as an additonal reception room as required. There are a further five double bedrooms on the first floor, including the principal bedroom with its large en suite bathroom. The first floor also has a family bathroom with a separate shower unit, as well as an additional shower room.

Guide Price: £1,250,000.<br /><br />Helmore Farm has extensive grounds and several outbuildings. There are two stable blocks and a 90ft barn/workshop, as well as a polytunnel for growing produce. At the entrance, a five-bar wooden gate opens onto a driveway leading to a parking area in front of the integrated garage. The garden includes paved terracing for al fresco dining, as well as rolling lawns with well-stocked border beds. There is a large vegetable garden with raised beds and two greenhouses. Beyond the garden, a five-bar wooden gate opens onto a large grassy paddock, with grazing pasture for livestock or space for exercising horses. There are also two large wildlife ponds which provide a haven for local flora and fauna. In total, the land measures approximately 4.6 acres.<br /><br />The property is located in a peaceful rural setting just outside the Devon town of Cullompton.

The cathedral city of Exeter, approximately 13 miles away, is the most thriving city in the South West and offers a wide choice of cultural activities with theatres, the ramm museum, an arts centre and a wealth of good shopping and restaurants, including John Lewis and a Waitrose supermarket. There are several good primary and secondary schools in Exeter, both state and independent, and Exeter University is recognised as one of the leading universities in the country.
