This fine period five-bedroom Grade II listed farmhouse is set in charming gardens close to Sidmouth and the coast. It has a versatile adjoining two-storey barn with potential (subject to planning permission), a detached thatched barn with separate entrance and in all is 1.33 acres.
Bulverton Well Farm occupies a convenient position in the hamlet of Bulverton on the outskirts of Sidmouth. This charming farmhouse dates back to the 17th century, but has evolved over time with later additions to create a unique harmonious house.
Originally part of the Manor of Sidmouth, generations of the Coles family lived at Bulverton Well Farm as farming tenants. In the early 1950s the farm was put up for sale when the Manor estate was dispersed.

The spacious kitchen with an Aga and double Belfast sink in the island, provides room for dining or relaxing by the wood burner. A wall of glass with a French window opens onto the terrace, creating a perfect opportunity for outdoor entertaining. The utility provides storage, as well as a sink and secondary cooking.
The dining room, featuring an inglenook with a bread oven and chamfered beams, opens into the light filled drawing room creating a more formal entertaining space. Upstairs the principal bedroom has an en-suite bathroom. There are four further double bedrooms, one of which has an en-suite shower room, plus a family bathroom.
The adjoining double-storey brick barn, with a stable door opening onto the courtyard, is ready to be adapted for a variety of uses (STPP). The farm courtyard is accessed from the road, providing access to a generous parking area. The run of buildings along the east side of the courtyard are the neighbouring property and do not have any openings or access to the courtyard.
On three sides of the farmhouse the landscaped grounds provide a private setting, mainly laid to lawn. A pretty stream meanders through close to the terrace with its surrounding borders. Beyond is an orchard and a traditional thatched barn with separate access to the road. The upper part of the garden could be divided to form a paddock if required.
