Payhembury is the kind of village people dream of finding-warm, welcoming, and wonderfully alive with community spirit. Morning coffee from the village shop, school runs to the highly regarded primary, a stroll to the Six Bells for supper, and a calendar dotted with local events and clubs. Just a short drive away, Ottery St Mary expands your world with independent shops, cafés, and the prestigious King’s School. And when you need to go further, the A30 and M5 open up the region with ease.
Grounds that feel like your own private world

Set within approximately 0.37 acres, the grounds are designed for both enjoyment and ease. Landscaped lawns, sun soaked terraces, and a small paddock create a sense of openness and privacy, with countryside views that stretch out gently beyond the boundary.
A private gated entrance, ample parking, and a recently built double garage complete the picture-practicality wrapped in quiet luxury.
