This property is located in Knightshayes, a locality within the Tiverton postal district of EX 16, Devon, close to the historic Knightshayes Court and its gardens.

Knightshayes lies on the hillside below the renowned Knightshayes Court, a Victorian country house designed by William Burges for the Heathcoat‑Amory family. The house is listed Grade I, and its gardens are listed Grade II* in the National Register of Historic Parks and Gardens. The area’s heritage is further highlighted by a camp discovered on the hillside below the court, near Bolham, just to the north of Tiverton. Historically, Tiverton formed part of the inheritance of Aethelweard, adding a medieval dimension to the locality’s past. The combination of a prominent historic house, protected gardens, and a setting that sits on a hillside overlooking the town offers a distinctive sense of character and a strong sense of place for residents and visitors alike.
