Silver Street Farm is approached from the south by a gravel driveway, lined with wildflower meadows and estate fencing. The drive leads to a generous turning area in front of the farmhouse and the adjacent Pear Tree Cottage.

Beyond lies a traditional courtyard of outbuildings, adorned with fruit trees and roses. The house is perfectly framed by planting which evolves with the seasons and gives interest throughout the year The Georgian farmhouse has been stylishly restored, preserving its original character while creating a welcoming and comfortable home. The ground floor is arranged around a central entrance hall, with a drawing room and dining room on either side, both featuring fireplaces. A family room and snug provide additional living space, while the fantastic kitchen sits at the rear of the house, opening onto a terrace and into the idyllic gardens. A large utility connects the main house to the events barn, making it ideal for entertaining.

On the first floor, the principal suite includes a private bathroom and dressing room. There are four further double bedrooms on this level, all sharing a well-appointed family bathroom. The second floor provides three additional bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a large airing cupboard.

Pear Tree Cottage provides generous and flexible accommodation for guests, staff, or multi-generational living. The ground floor has an open plan kitchen and living space with a cloakroom, while the first floor features a spacious bedroom and en suite bathroom.

The events barn is a spectacular space, designed for both entertaining and practical use. The main hall is bright and airy, with a mezzanine sitting area and/with cinema room at one end. A kitchen area, boot room, and WC make it a highly adaptable space.

The gardens at Silver Street Farm are the result of over a decade of thoughtful design and planting by Alasdair Cameron, one of the UK's leading landscape designers. Inspired by the surrounding Devon countryside and a desire to create multiple areas for friends and family to enjoy, relax and have fun in, and interact with nature in. The gardens blend traditional structure with a sense of abundance, the naturalistic planting is both beautiful on the eye and a haven for wildlife.

At the entrance, pleached limes and clipped beech topiary set a gentle rhythm, while a beautiful cottage garden envelops the secret terrace at the front of the house. Paths wind through the deep perennial borders that frame a large rectangular lawn. Filled with colour, height, and interest the perennial border is anchored by domes of clipped yew and beech. The planting is immersive and richly layered, designed to be walked through and lived in. A generous and sheltered terrace is an ideal spot for entertaining, and the plants are encouraged to seed into gravel, stonework and even pots, creating a sense of effortless charm.

The wider grounds include a productive no-dig kitchen garden, orchards, meadows, and paddocks grazed by sheep and horses. There is a strong sense of place here - a garden that belongs to its landscape. The result is a masterclass in contemporary country gardening.

Within the courtyard the outbuildings include a linhay barn with car port beneath, stables, feed stores and tack rooms. There is also a large hayloft above, which provides potential for future conversion, subject to the necessary consents. The surrounding land is pastureland. In all the property extends to approximately 9.6 acres.

There are two additional parcels of land to the south and east, extending to about 12.8 acres, which are available by separate negotiation.
