Bordering some of the formal garden with its post and rail fencing the drive leads around to an abundance of parking and many of the outbuildings and detached a bungalow beyond which the acreage extends.Coming into the reception hall you get a real sense of what owning this home is all about as here, there is honey coloured wood, a part glazed period door, and finefloor Off to one side is a boiler room, which also makes a very useful drying room and on the other a cloakroom. The dining room, which is found beyond the reception hall, features a substantial inglenook fireplacewith bread oven which really sets the tone for this room coupled with the large slate tile flooringand beyond glazed double doors lead you into the triple aspect drawing room which has more of a modern feel forming part of the two storey extension added on. This room has been designed around the orientation of the sun with double doors opening onto one of the many terraces this home has to offer and for the colder months, there is a log burner sat upon a raised hearth to cosy up to. These two connecting rooms will provide a great entertaining area for any new owner, as they have for the current Vendors. Coming back into the older part of the house you enter a large double aspect open plan kitchen/breakfast/family area interlinking with the drinks room all zoned into distinct areas with exposed stonework. The use of the slate flooringcontinues throughout this area, so it is simple to look after with any muddy feet or paws coming in for the outside.The kitchen over the years has been updated and now features extensive matching composite work surfacing with bistro counter for informal eating whilst leaving the main kitchen area with its units, AEG induction hob, extractor and Bosch oven and grill free for food prep and cooking.

The main pasture runs away from buildings being edged by woodland on two sides and at the bottom there is a previously stocked lake of about two acres with further pasture/paddock beyond. The foliage and trees around the lake is overgrown but once cleared back would make a special place to just sit and enjoy the sounds of nature and the lapping of the water. There is a strategically placed summer house that would do with some upgrading or total replacement.GardensThese are found on two sides of the house with several terraces strategically placed to make the most of the orientation of the sun and one, to enjoy the view towards High Bickington and Exmoor on the horizon.

The bore hole water supplies both the farm, the bungalow and one of the cottages billed by the Vendor 1st April every year. There are two septic tanks one serving the bungalow and part of the farm. The other serves the remainder of the farm and the three cottages, each cottage paying two-sevenths of the emptying cost. The bungalow is currently occupied by a tenancy, and the rent includes water and sewerage. Some of the boundaries are owned by an adjacent landowner, one of the cottages.
