About this property
A charming and expansive period home with land, outbuildings, stables and stunning countryside views – in total approx. 5.13 acres.
Nestled in the tranquil East Devon countryside on the edge of the historic and highly sought-after town of Colyton, Forge Farm is a truly exceptional country property combining character, space, and versatility. This beautifully presented and generously proportioned four-bedroom home offers idyllic rural living, extensive gardens, and over 4 acres of additional land—all just moments from the heart of Colyton and a short drive to the Jurassic Coast.
Property Overview
A striking arched timber entrance door welcomes you into this distinctive period farmhouse, rich with original charm and practical living spaces. The residence features four large bedrooms, including a particularly impressive master suite, complete with a spacious ensuite bathroom featuring a roll-top bath, and an adjoining private dressing room.
The further three bedrooms are all large doubles, making the upper floor ideal for a family or visiting guests. A beautifully finished family bathroom with bath and shower over, traditional high-level pull cord toilet, and quality hard flooring complements the accommodation upstairs. Wide and light-filled hallways provide a real sense of space and flow, with built-in storage throughout the first floor.
Ground Floor Living
The ground floor boasts solid flooring throughout, adding to the home’s practical and rustic appeal. At the heart of the home is the large, farm-style kitchen, fitted with an oil-fired Aga, integrated appliances including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer, and washing machine, and ample counter and cupboard space. From the kitchen, a utility boot room leads directly to the rear garden, perfect for rural living.
Additional reception rooms include a versatile office with a charming feature fireplace, a spacious family dining room suitable for hosting large gatherings, and an impressive living room with views across the side and rear gardens, enhanced by a log-burning stove for cosy evenings.
To the rear, the expansive glass conservatory/family room provides panoramic views over the countryside and garden—ideal for entertaining or relaxing year-round.
Outdoor Space & Outbuildings
The gardens to the rear and side extend to approximately 3⁄4 of an acre, offering a mix of formal gardens, lawned areas, and mature planting. A stream meanders to the rear the property garden, beyond which lies over 4 acres of private land, perfect for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply enjoying a peaceful rural lifestyle.
The property includes four stables, a tack room, and a large three bay traditional barn, which presents exciting potential for future conversion (subject to planning) or use as a workshop, storage, or studio.
Additional Features
• Double garage with electric doors and power
(grass reinforcement mesh for passage)
• 12 owned pv panels (owned outright)
• Double glazed throughout
• Ample parking for multiple vehicles
• Total plot size: Approx. 5.13 acres
Location
Forge Farm enjoys a peaceful yet accessible setting just outside Colyton, a picturesque East Devon town renowned for its historical charm, independent shops, and excellent schooling—including the highly regarded Colyton Grammar School. The stunning coastline at Seaton and the dramatic cliffs of the Jurassic Coast (a unesco World Heritage Site) are within a short drive. The nearby towns of Axminster, Honiton, and Lyme Regis offer additional amenities, and the A35 provides convenient road access to Exeter and beyond.
A rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained, character-rich country home with significant acreage, modern conveniences, and immense lifestyle potential.
