Surrounded by 2,500 acres of farmland through which the River Yarty flows, try your hand at trout fishing, or enjoy the vast choice of walks nearby. You will probably not want to venture far from this idyll, but if you do, under a mile away is the village of Howley and the nearby towns of Chard and Honiton, both offering a wide variety of shops and places to eat and drink. The Jurassic Coast is easily accessible by car and the excellent beaches of Charmouth, Lyme Regis, Sidmouth, Seaton and Beer are all within 20 miles.

The entrance to the house is from a formal courtyard with fine views over the estate. The impressive entrance panelled hall has flagstone flooring, a huge, medieval, ornamental fireplace, beams and window seat.

There is also a proper old-fashioned larder/wine store and butler’s pantry, so there is plenty of storage for food and beverages for 24 guests. From the kitchen is a children's lounge a perfect place to watch a favourite film on the TV/DVD. There is a utility room with a washing machine and tumble dryer and there is also a separate WC. From here is a back door to the former stables and enclosed courtyard, a perfect space for young children to play with toys and a sandpit, there is also a useful outside dog kennel. Back to the entrance hall you will find the billiard room another huge, long room with large windows, William Morris-designed wallpaper, and a full-sized snooker table. Off this is an ante-room leading to ‘The Study’ a twin zip-and-link bedroom (which can be made up into a super-king-size on request) with lovely views across the countryside and a neighbouring shower room with shower and WC.
