The gardens are delightful, separated into many `rooms` each with a different atmosphere and all thoughtfully designed and planted. There is also a practical section with raised beds for planting fruit and vegetables and an area of lawn as well as secluded seating spaces.
At the back of the plot is a barn with separate sections for housing delicate plants over winter, general storage and a large space which could be used for hobbies or over flow guests as there is also a shower room and a kitchenette.
The whole property is beautifully presented both inside and out and offers versatile living.
Farway is a small village spread along the pretty Farway valley in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, comprising a number of scattered properties with a charming village centre.

Farway is also served by a Methodist Church, a Primary School and a Village Hall with events getting underway once again following the pandemic disruption. For more village information please see their website:

GARDEN
It is hard to do justice to the garden with mere words and we would highly recommend a viewing to fully appreciate what this one has to offer. The garden is fully enclosed and separated into several different 'rooms'. Immediately in front of the property is a level patio area, facing south, this space enjoys day long sunshine, hence the sun awning. One step down is a level lawn and further steps lead down to a formal paved garden, which is interspersed and bordered with a number of specimen shrubs and small tress, including spectacular white pompom hydrangeas and a forest pansy.
From here a path leads through a Mediterranean inspired section where there is a very productive grape vine and a fig tree. The next path takes you beneath a long arch adorned with a variety of climbers opening to a gravelled Japanese style garden with large pergola above on one side. To the other side is a large patio with an ornamental pond bordering a lawn. Decorative wrought iron gates lead through to the rear garden. On the right is a practical area with four raised beds for growing produce. Above this is a raised patio with a summer house placed to enjoy the wonderful country views.
Leading back towards the house is a further area of lawn bordered by a fabulous variety of Acers. A further patio seating area is found beside the doors to the living room. This is a secluded spot for shady seating and there is an outdoor kitchen here. The patio continues to to a useful covered area outside the back door and steps lead up to the outbuildings.
Throughout the garden are a number of water butts and outside taps. The garden is very well stocked with a number of specimen trees, not all of which are listed but worthy of mention are: American Oak, English Oak, several Acers, several Figs, ornamental Pear, 4 Birches, a well established Wisteria and a Styrasiflua (Sweet Gum Tree). As you can tell, many of these are planted for colour.
