Situation Forming part of the Churston Court Estate and believed to have been constructed in the 1850’s Churston Court Farm House is situated on the edge of the historic village of Churston Ferrers, one of the most sought after residential areas in South Devon and is within Churston Conservation Area. Along with its twin village of Galmpton they occupy a narrow strip of land between Tor Bay and the Dart Estuary. was a regular visitor to the area and nearby Churston Court (now Churston Court Inn) as she was friends with the then owners, Lord and Lady Churston. She even donated the east stained glass window to the neighbouring church, which she was fond of, and is said to have been inspired to write “Death on the Links” whilst staying at Churston Court. The picturesque beach of Elberry Cove is a short walk from the property along a quiet footpath, which adjoins the southwest coastal path, where you can enjoy the stunning views across Tor Bay. If you fancy a longer walk the lively fishing port of Brixham is approximately 2.5 miles away along the coast path. If golf is your thing then Churston Golf Club, one of Devon’s most picturesque courses, is on your doorstep. Tor Bay and the Dart Estuary offer all the water sports opportunities you could wish for, as well as several deep water marinas.

Description Stags are delighted to present to the market this substantial and impressive Grade II listed farm house which has just been through a thorough programme of restoration and refurbishment, along with the adjoining complex of barns (already sold), in the safe hands of well-known local developer – Dart Developments Ltd. The property is said to have been designed in the Cotswold farmhouse style and bears a resemblance to other properties designed by the architect John Loudon, although it cannot be confirmed that he was involved in the design of this particular property. The Farm House stands privately in its own walled garden plot of approximately 0.75 acres and benefits from lovely open rural views. Believed to have been constructed in the 1850’s of Devonian limestone with dressed red sandstone details under a slate roof, the sympathetic work carried out by local craftsmen has restored the property to its former glory, as well as transporting it into the 21st century, now forming an impressive and luxurious family home. This gives you the opportunity to live in a wonderful and attractive period country home whilst enjoying the latest in contemporary fixtures and fittings. A programmable smart Lutron lighting and sound system has been fitted throughout the ground floor and master bedroom, and there is underfloor heating to most areas, with radiators in others. Where possible the original wooden mullioned and transomed sash window frames have been retained and restored along with their shutters.
