The lifestyle creator has become famous for allowing her menagerie of animals to roam her bucolic Devon home
We’ve all got different rules for household pets. No dogs on the bed, no dogs in the bedroom. Outdoor-only cats, indoor-only cats. And while most can probably agree that horses and hens should remain in the paddock, for influencer Callie Coles, her ponies are a kitchen stalwart. It is these shots, of ponies munching carrots round the breakfast table as chickens cluck at the Aga and whippets rest in their beds, that have made the lifestyle creator and her charming Devon cottage an Instagram staple. And now Callie Coles’s home could be yours.
Woodley Park Farm Is For Sale
Callie Coles lives at Woodley Park Farm with her three sons, her husband Toby and their menagerie of animals – documenting their idyllic, rural life to the envy of Callie’s 1.1 million Instagram followers. An equestrian and lifestyle creator, Callie Coles is also a Substack writer and the author of Tangled Webs, the first installment in her Spinning Silks trilogy.
Lost among the countryside of north-west Devon, Woodley Park Farm is a former farmhouse brimming with period character. ‘Woodley is a place of sanctuary for our family to run wild,’ reads the family’s website. The property can be found in the quiet village of Virginstow, only a stone’s throw from the Cornish border, Dartmoor National Park and the crumbling southern coast, enjoying views across pasture, woodland, and unspoilt rolling farmland. It was Toby who fell ‘completely in love with it’, Callie told The Times. ‘It was really run-down and it was damp. It had a lot of [good] bones, it was very beautiful.’

Despite Callie’s description of Woodley Park Farm as ‘the manifestation of all my childhood dreams’, it seems their family of three kids (soon to be four) have finally outgrown the space and are set to move to Scotland, where Toby grew up. ‘One of the main things for Callie and I is [a location] where there’s beauty and not too many people,’ Toby says. ‘I had an amazing childhood in Scotland, being able to roam free.’
Coles and her husband first settled down in Woodley Park Farm in 2020, a house that Toby spent two years renovating – quite literally breaking his back in the process. Approached via a long private lane, shared with the neighbouring farm, the house itself is entered through the boot room extension at the rear. Here, the exposed timber flooring, timber-clad walls and ceiling, introduce guests to its period charm.
From the boot room, the hallway leads through to the open-plan living/dining room space. With a stone fireplace plus woodburner at one end and a small fireplace (also with woodburner) at the other, there’s no need to fear the cold here. Decked out in a chartreuse carpet, with beamed ceilings, Edward Bulmer Fair Blue walls, sash windows, window seats, wood panelling and French windows that open out to the garden, it’s no wonder this home has had so many Instagram scrollers swoon over its cottagecore interiors. This room then opens onto the kitchen with its four-oven AGA, pantry and twin Belfast sinks.
Up above, there are three bedrooms and a shower room on the first floor, with an additional bedroom and loft on the second. Offering up three properties in one, further accommodation can be found beyond the main house in the converted cow byer and the treehouse. The former – complete with an entrance hall, living room, two bedrooms and a bathroom – served as the Coleses home during their refurbishment, while they also briefly resided in the tool shed. The Treehouse, meanwhile, boasts a hall, living room, kitchen, two bedrooms, a bathroom and a terrace, while a Dutch barn, stable block and tack room can be found elsewhere on the grounds.
Set within nearly 24 acres of grounds, the house opens onto the lawned gardens (with ornamental shrubs, trees and a gazebo) which then slope down to the banks of the private lake. ‘We’ve got so many beautiful old trees and it’s like nowhere on earth really. I mean, you could just listen to the birdsong – we’d never ever heard birdsong like this,’ says Callie. On the opposite side of the lake is a charming summerhouse with exposed timbers and a woodburner, which currently serves as a lakeside home office.
