Ford Mill Farm is an enchanting former farm which is now is used as a smallholding with characterful farmhouse, two established holiday lets, multiple barns and stables and over 8 acres of unspoiled Devon countryside. Tucked away in a truly idyllic setting on the outskirts of the picturesque North Devon village of Woolsery, Ford Mill Farm offers an exceptional opportunity to embrace the rural lifestyle in one of the South West’s most scenic and peaceful locations. This captivating farmstead comes complete with approximately 8.75 acres of gardens, paddocks, a spring-fed ornamental lake, smaller pond with 'Monet Bridge', stabling, and two beautifully converted holiday cottages, all nestled within a charming and private valley with stream and river borders. Lovingly maintained and sensitively modernised, the main farmhouse dates back in parts to the 17th century and exudes timeless character, with exposed beams, natural stonework, traditional fireplaces, and generous room proportions that reflect its long agricultural heritage. In direct contrast the kitchen and interlinking conservatory as well as the first-floor veranda provides a blend between the old and modern contemporary finishes. In addition to the principal residence, the property also includes two holiday lets The Dairy and The Shippon offering scope for continued income generation or multigenerational use. Step Inside As you enter the main farmhouse, you're greeted by a welcoming and spacious entrance hall that leads into a series of characterful living spaces with downstairs shower room. The principal sitting room is centred around a large feature fireplace with wood-burning stove, perfect for cosy evenings. Adjacent is a second reception room, which offers flexibility as a formal dining area, snug, or study. The heart of the home is the expansive contemporary kitchen which forms part of an extension, thoughtfully positioned to take full advantages of the grounds. With an array of fitted units, traditional range cooker, ample workspace including a kitchen island, and a generous dining area, it’s an ideal space for family gatherings or entertaining guests. The kitchen also enjoys direct access to the garden via the adjacent boot room, allowing for relaxed indoor-outdoor living during warmer months. The ground floor also enjoys an additional shower room, utility room and pantry off the kitchen. Upstairs, the main farmhouse offers four bedrooms positioned off a main landing, all with far-reaching views over the surrounding countryside. The principal suite has been fully vaulted and now features exposed wooden beams and an inter linking private en-suite bathroom as well as direct access onto a roof terrace. Further double bedroom at the opposite end as well as two bedrooms are also served by an upstsairs W.C. Step Outside The grounds at Ford Mill Farm are nothing short of magical. A sweeping private driveway leads past the agricutural barns and three stables, opening into a large parking area and courtyard. The farmhouse is set in beautifully maintained gardens with sweeping lawns, flower borders, vegetable plots, and sun terraces that take in the idyllic surroundings. Beyond the formal gardens lie paddocks and prediminantly flat pasture land with lawned pathways, ideal for equestrian or smallholding use. The spring-fed lake, set within its own clearing, attracts a rich variety of wildlife and provides a serene spot for quiet reflection or informal picnics and is believed to hold carp fish. Several outbuildings, including a stable block, offer flexible space for livestock, storage, or further development, subject to the necessary consents. Running at the base of the plot is the River Torridge which at the furtherest corner has a picturesque spot which needs to be appreciated and is perfect for observing local wildlife or a quite reflection area. Holiday Cottages A key feature of this unique property is its established holiday accommodation, offering a valuable and proven income stream. Positioned at the rear of the main courtyard sit two charming stone-built holiday cottages, each carefully converted and fully self-contained. These cottages blend rustic charm with modern comfort, and are currently used for holiday letting throughout the year. They enjoy their own outdoor spaces, ensuring guest privacy and a truly relaxing countryside escape. NB: The internet is on Starlink which is boasting 100mbps on download and upload is approximately 20mbps.

Coming down the tree lined drive studded with primroses in the spring, one has no inkling as to what a discovery awaits around the corner. First are the cottages and barns and then suddenly, a picture postcard image opens up, as this Grade II listed Devon long house comes into view with its eyebrow thatching and cream painted cob elevations. At the front there is plenty of gravel parking and before entering through the fine oak front door, turn around and just take in the surrounds - it is quite special. Coming in through the front doorway, the dining hall really sets the tone for the old part of the house, with its impressive stone fireplace with inset log burner, original bread oven, stone paved flooring and exposed beams with decorative inserts. A honey oak church style door leads into a fine drawing room with its wonderful oak plank flooring, impressive inglenook fireplace with wood burner and a strategically placed window seat overlooking the front. Leading on from here is the dining room with a slate paved floor and a door opening into a cellar room, ideal for wine storage. Over more recent times, the property has been cleverly extended with an amazing contemporary build incorporating honeyed oak plank flooring and floor to ceiling glass in an oak frame gable, looking out onto the landscaped gardens beyond. This ‘L’ shaped room with the kitchen to one end allows for zoned living areas, as here, with sofas and chair in the gable end, optimising the view and natural light, plus an eating area with ample room for a table and chairs. In addition to the underfloor heating, there is a modern log effect gas fire set in a fine stone fireplace, linking the two areas together. The Chalon kitchen with Miele and Franke appliances offers a plethora of polished granite work surfaces with storage and wall units and a large central island with solid maple top. Sitting along one wall is an impressive range of cooking ware that would satisfy most keen cooks who enjoy entertaining, with a 4 oven Aga and warming plate, and an Aga range cooker with 5 gas rings and 3 electric ovens. The large central island unit with lighting, power points and pan hooks above doubles up as a social bistro counter as well as food prep station. Beyond the kitchen is a conservatory/ garden room which overlooks the substantial terrace outside, down to the river below. On the opposite end of the kitchen is a utility room with an extensive range of cupboards and appliance space, with a door leading out to yet another terrace. It is very unusual to see an extension like this blending with such a period property, but it works ever so well. Staircases are found either end of the older part of the house. Taking the one from the drawing room, a very useful cloakroom is found, before taking the stairs to the first floor. The first bedroom on this side is a wonderful room with plenty of honeyed oak, exposed beams and an ensuite bathroom with a walk-in electric shower and separate bath. This room has a double aspect, enjoying views to the south and east. Off the small landing, paddle steps lead to a boarded attic space with light, power and heating. A door also opens into the main bedroom which has a wonderful, planked flooring, high ceiling with an incredible grapevine frieze and plenty of room for free standing furniture. A few steps lead down into a stylish ensuite. From here, the main landing leads to a second set of paddle steps up to a further carpeted attic room, and further accommodation. There is a contemporary shower room and two further bedrooms overlooking the front, one of which is understood to have been consecrated as a small chapel by the Bishop of Wells in 1710 as outlined in the records of the Church of Exbourne. Before heading down the second set of stairs, you come to the galleried library/ music room and study formed from the extension. It is an extraordinary space, full of light with views over the gardens and down to the river. In former years this was all used as a main bedroom with ensuite, but this works very well for our current client as a quiet, reflective space, yet still connected to the family room downstairs via the gallery. DAIRY BARN This former dairy provides for open plan living downstairs, with wood flooring, a modern log burner at the raised sitting room end and at the other end a well appointed kitchen with bistro bar makes a sociable casual entertaining area. A wrought iron spiral staircase leads to a galleried landing with bedrooms at either end. One is a good double with a modern ensuite shower room. The other is significantly larger, currently set up with both bunks and a double bed and has its own ensuite bathroom. There is parking outside and the adjacent former stables provide storage. DANS BARN For someone who loves the use of wood and exposed beams and peg frames and open plan living, this serves it up in bucketfuls. Downstairs there is a modern shower room, freestanding kitchen, space for a table and chairs and space for sofas and chairs to relax and admire the outside, but also to admire the magnificent work that has gone into creating this building. The first floor is mezzanine living, again open plan with two sleeping areas bisected by the stairs and gallery. There is parking outside, as well as decking overlooking the orchards to the woodland beyond. COB BARN This sits beside the Dairy Barn and has cart doors on either side, wonderful timber trusses and further external storage. A more modern agricultural barn offers tremendous scope for a number of uses, previously having loose boxes. Doors are found at either end and power and light are connected. A manège sits adjacent to the barn. It is currently used as a children’s play area. Opposite, a small track leads to 4 acres of level paddocks, once used for grazing horses and currently for grazing sheep. FISHING Beer Farm owns the double bank fishing rights on the River Okement, as far as Monkokehampton Weir. It contains a series of pools, attracting salmon, sea trout and wild brown trout. GARDENS and GROUNDS Wandering through these is almost like being in your own private parklands with large swathes of lawn, mature shrubs, plants, trees, hedgerows, rockery, pond, pasture and orchard, all with the sound of the River Okement running along one side. Double bank fishing rights run for about 500 yards down to Monkokehampton Weir. Everywhere you look, there is a vista to enjoy. The immense terrace that runs around two sides of the house allows for large parties and al fresco entertaining in the warmer months. A slope leads up to the kitchen gardens with over a dozen raised beds, a greenhouse with water, electricity and lighting, a large fruit cage, a 50 ft polytunnel and garden sheds. So for someone looking to grow and eat their own produce and enjoy the good life that growing your own food can provide, this will take a lot of beating. A magnificent 100 year old olive tree with twisted and gnarled trunk leads to a curving 20m long wisteria arbour and strategically at the end is a bench to just sit and listen to nature and the sounds of tumbling water. Between the drive and the river is a productive orchard with beehives. The overall private and natural setting of this particular home cannot be over-emphasised. Any owner will feel privileged to own this little part of Devonian tranquillity. SERVICES Mains water, electricity, oil fired heating to the main house and to Dairy Barn. Electric heating to Dans Barn. Drainage to a modern treatment plant. LPG for gas hob and fires. Agents note. There is an existing historical indemnity insurance in perpetuity to cover the change of use of the barns from agricultural to residential. The modern agricultural barn has a traditional asbestos cement roofing which is not uncommon for this type of building.

Wild Winds represents a rare opportunity to acquire an exceptional private lifestyle estate in one of North Devon’s most desirable coastal countryside settings. Extending to approximately 6,500 sq ft, this impressive six/seven-bedroom contemporary barn conversion combines outstanding scale, privacy and entertaining space with proven income potential, all within easy reach of the region’s renowned beaches. Currently operating as an established luxury holiday letting business, with trading figures available on request, Wild Winds offers considerably more than a substantial private residence. It presents a compelling lifestyle and investment opportunity, appealing equally to those seeking a landmark family home, a coastal retreat with income or a distinctive property from which to build a successful hospitality business. The property is set within beautifully landscaped gardens and grounds extending to approximately three acres, enjoying sweeping views across the surrounding countryside towards the sea beyond. The grounds provide excellent privacy, generous space for outdoor entertaining and the potential for equestrian use, creating a wonderfully secluded setting in which to relax, entertain and enjoy the North Devon lifestyle. Arranged over two floors, the accommodation has been thoughtfully designed for contemporary luxury living. At the heart of the home is a spectacular open-plan living, kitchen and dining space, creating an impressive yet welcoming environment for family life, entertaining and holiday guests. Expansive proportions, high-quality finishes and carefully considered design combine to create a home of genuine presence and distinction. The first floor features a superb principal suite with its own private terrace, providing an idyllic retreat from which to enjoy the surrounding landscape and coastal views. The remaining bedrooms are equally well appointed, with five ensuite facilities supporting both comfortable family living and the property’s successful operation as a luxury holiday let. Further accommodation includes a dedicated playroom and a flexible media and playroom with a wall-mounted television, offering excellent potential to create a dedicated home cinema. These versatile spaces reinforce Wild Winds’ appeal as a property designed for relaxation, entertainment and memorable stays, while allowing future owners to adapt the accommodation to suit their own requirements. An Exceptional Additional Opportunity Available by separate negotiation is a neighbouring barn benefiting from planning permission for a further substantial contemporary conversion of approximately 7,500 sq ft, subject to confirmation from the approved plans. The consent is understood to have been secured under previous Class Q regulations and represents an increasingly rare and valuable planning asset, with comparable permissions likely to be considerably more difficult to obtain under current regulations. Importantly, the neighbouring barn is not included within the principal sale of Wild Winds and its approximately three acres. Instead, it provides an additional opportunity for a purchaser wishing to create the ultimate private estate, develop a second substantial residence, establish further guest accommodation or explore a wider commercial proposition, subject to the relevant consents and individual requirements. Additional adjoining land may also be available by separate negotiation, further enhancing the flexibility and long-term potential of the wider estate. Wild Winds is therefore not simply a large coastal home. It is a highly unusual and versatile proposition: a private country estate, a luxury entertaining house, a proven holiday letting business and, for those wishing to expand, an opportunity to acquire a neighbouring development project of exceptional scale and rarity. Opportunities offering this combination of lifestyle, income, privacy and future potential are seldom available in the North Devon market.
