SituationForming part of the Churston Court Estate and believed to have been constructedin the 1850’s Churston Court Farm House is situated on the edge of the historicvillage of Churston Ferrers, one of the most sought after residential areas in SouthDevon and is within Churston Conservation Area. Along with its twin village ofGalmpton they occupy a narrow strip of land between Tor Bay and the DartEstuary. Agatha Christie was a regular visitor to the area and nearby ChurstonCourt (now Churston Court Inn) as she was friends with the then owners, Lordand Lady Churston. She even donated the east stained glass window to theneighbouring church, which she was fond of, and is said to have been inspired towrite “Death on the Links” whilst staying at Churston Court.

The picturesque beach of Elberry Cove is a short walk from the property along aquiet footpath, which adjoins the southwest coastal path, where you can enjoy thestunning views across Tor Bay. If you fancy a longer walk the lively fishing port ofBrixham is approximately 2.5 miles away along the coast path. If golf is your thingthen Churston Golf Club, one of Devon’s most picturesque courses, is on yourdoorstep. Tor Bay and the Dart Estuary offer all the water sports opportunities youcould wish for, as well as several deep water marinas.

The amenities of The English Riviera are within easy reach, from cinemas andsupermarkets to Torbay Hospital, as well as some of the best beaches and visitorattractions the South West has to offer. Education is well catered for with well-regarded state and private schools in the area including Churston GrammarSchool.

Thanks to the newly opened South Devon Highway the whole area is now withineasy reach of the county capital of Exeter, the M5 and wider motorway network.Exeter airport flies to many European and international destinations. Rail linksfrom Paignton to Paddington via Newton Abbot are fast and frequent.
