The location is both secluded and private, yet within easy reach of communication links with the A399 within easy reach, giving access to the North Devon Link Road, which connects North Devon with Tiverton, Exeter and the M5 motorway. Barnstaple is about 10 miles away from Down Farm and provides an extensive range of shopping facilities including a number of supermarkets and numerous well-known retail outlets as well as good leisure and sporting facilities. The highly regarded beaches of the North Devon coast are all around 20 miles from the property. Saunton, Croyde and Putsborough all offer spectacular sandy beaches with opportunities for various water sports including surfing, kite surfing and wind surfing. Down Farm sits on the edge of Exmoor National Park where there are many stunning walking routes from which to enjoy some of the country’s most spectacular countryside. The well-regarded West Buckland school is only 5.5 miles from Down Farm. Down Farm offers the ideal combination of seclusion and accessibility thanks to its proximity to local communication links. The A361 North Devon Link road is about 7 miles away and gives access to Tiverton Parkway from where there is a regular train service to London Paddington taking from 2 hours. Exeter Airport is less than 50 miles away and provides a daily flight to London City Airport taking 1 hour 10 minutes, as well as a number of other popular European destinations. Down Farm Down Farm has a magnificent approach via a long private drive that sweeps through the land with stunning views either side over the surrounding countryside, arriving at a large parking and turning area at the front of the house. The house, cottages and surrounding outbuildings sit in a private and secluded spot in the centre of the land, in a sheltered valley protected by rolling paddocks and ancient woodland. Originally a Devon Longhouse, this Grade II listed property has been significantly improved and now stands as a an immaculately presented family home with an abundance of unique features and impressive rooms. The kitchen is of particular note, forming the heart of the home and cleverly extended to take advantage of the natural light from the large windows facing the rear gardens. The house flows extremely well thanks to its semi open plan layout, unusual in a house of this age. The principal sitting room is accessed from the kitchen via an open doorway and features a superb fireplace with a wood burner and original bread oven. Also accessed from the kitchen is the dining room, with a magnificent original fireplace with two former bread ovens intact. An Esse Ironheart wood burning oven with hob has been installed in the open fireplace. Also on the ground floor is a home office and snug / TV room as well as a recently added utility room with built in storage. On the first floor are five bedrooms, all of generous proportions. The master bedroom is particularly impressive with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room. The attention to detail is exceptional throughout, especially in the family bath and shower room, which has been finished to an exacting standard. Copper Kettle Cottage Attached to the main house is this delightful cottage, finished with the same attention to detail as the main house. The main entrance leads to the stylish kitchen fitted with the latest appliances, and with steps leading to the charming sitting room with exposed beams and stunning fireplace with wood burner. There are three bedrooms and a bathroom on the first floor. Ladybird Barn A private patio area at the front of this delightful barn conversion leads to the main entrance through large double glazed oak doors. A magnificent open plan sitting / dining room with a vaulted ceiling and oak floors forms the centre of this contemporary barn conversion. An immaculately finished shower room and cloak room sit one side of the sitting room, and a bedroom on the other. On the first floor, either side of the vaulted ceiling, are two bedrooms. Approximate Gross Internal Floor Area 556.3 sq m / 5,989 sq ft (Excluding Outbuildings) This plan is for guidance only and must not be relied upon as a statement of fact. Attention is drawn to the Important Notice on the last page of the text of the Particulars LADYBIRD BARN OUTBUILDINGS First Floor Ground Floor DOWN FARMHOUSE Ground Floor Reception Bedroom First Floor Bathroom Kitchen/Utility Storage Terrace Recreation COPPER KETTLE Ground Floor First Floor COTTAGE Outbuildings There is an excellent range of attractive and practical outbuildings at Down Farm, situated around a central lawn area to the front of the house. The workshop provides a useful space that could be converted into stabling or perhaps additional accommodation, subject to obtaining the necessary planning consents. A large log store that sits next to Ladybird Barn also has fantastic potential for conversion. Within the long barn that runs in line with the vegetable garden is a fully functioning bar. Further along the barn is additional storage space. Along the long and private drive is a newly constructed agricultural barn with ample storage space, ideal for additional vehicle storage if required. Gardens and grounds The gardens and grounds at Down Farm are magical, forming an idyllic mini-estate that give the house great privacy and protection whilst providing a haven for wildlife. Immediately in front of the house is a large, flat lawn area providing an ideal entertaining area or space for children to play, and overlooking the lawn is a productive vegetable garden with raised beds and a poly tunnel. A pathway leads from the principal gardens through beautiful ancient woodland, extending to about 15 acres. At the bottom of the pathway, hidden from the house and in an incredibly private and sheltered spot, is the freshwater lake, triple decked terrace and lake house with wood burner. The views from the lake house are magnificent, over the crystal clear water for swimming to the island and across to the wooden jetty. This idyllic part of the property also features an outdoor entertaining and barbeque area overlooking the lake. The woodland walk continues to the tree house area, looping back round to the house. The land surrounding the house is predominantly laid to pasture, with undulating paddocks typical of this part of Devon. There are even three tiers of ancient irrigation channels that can still be seen today on the southern slopes of the farm. The land is organic, and is farmed to Soil Association Standards and there are no pesticides or weed killer used anywhere. The land extends to around 53 acres with wood area with stock fencing and water supply, previously used for pigs. Ordnance Survey © Crown Copyright 2019. All rights reserved.

  • Weekend Away Walks
    Where we stayed Under canvas at Longlands, a small site in a sheep-grazed valley just outside the coastal village of Combe Martin. Run by Tammy and Jeremy Smith, it has five large safari-style canvas lodges for up to six people, each jutting from the steep hillside. All have sumptuous beds, ensuite loos, wood-fired showers, well- equipped kitchens, a barbecue spot and generous deck. There’s an honesty shop stocked with local goodies, and you can pre-order treats such as breakfast ingredients or fresh sourdough. This is a retreat from heaving high-season beaches, yet a short drive to all the main attractions and close to wild Exmoor Weekend away walks.

With so many sharing the same dream of a seaside getaway, the trick is finding somewhere special to stay that’s close to fun things to do, while providing an escape from the hustle and bustle of popular resorts. Balance is achieved, with AND STARS CANOPY Msome ease it seems, between activity and mindfulness on a boutique glamping break in north Devon, where a tranquil hideaway with star-studded skies and spectacular sunsets soothes the spirits after a busy day adventuring.

  • Here It Became Obvious That Hollacombe Crediton and Not Hollacombe Winkleigh Was Implied and Quite a Different Proposition
    INTRODUCTION In 1876 Charles Worthy wrote “The History of the Manor and Church of Winkleigh”, the first and only book on Winkleigh to be published. Although this valuable little handbook contains many items of interest, not all of which fall within the range of its title, it is not a complete history and consequently fails to meet the requirements of the Devonshire Association. More than a dozen years ago a friend remarked to me that the monks of Crediton at one time used to walk to Hollacombe in order to preach at the ancient chapel of Hollacombe Barton. I was so surprised by this seemingly long trek that I made enquiries of the Devonshire Association. I was referred to the Tower Library of Crediton Church where it became obvious that Hollacombe Crediton and not Hollacombe Winkleigh was implied and quite a different proposition. Meantime the Honorary General Editor of the Parochial Section (Hugh R. Watkins Esq.) suggested that I should write a history of Winkleigh. The undertaking was accepted although it was clear that my only qualification for the task was a deep regard for the associations of the parish combined with a particularly intense love for the hamlet of Hollacombe. The result of this labour of love, produced in scanty spare time, and spread over the intervening years should be considered with these points in view. The proof of this present pudding will be measured by the ease with which the less immediately interesting parts can be assimilated by the general reader. Due care has been taken to verify all the subject matter.

  • Georgeham Trail
    Georgeham Trail This walk of approximately 7.5 miles (12km) starts from Caen Street Car Park in the centre of Braunton and proceeds around West Hill to Nethercott and North Buckland before turning west to Georgeham; returning in a circular route through Lobb. Passing through open countryside, farmland and villages, some parts of the walk involve country lanes, so beware of traffic. It is a beautiful walk at any time of the year, but is muddy in places year-round, so wear suitable walking boots or wellies. Georgeham Trail Route Map This walk starts and finishes at Caen Street Car Park in the centre of Braunton village. It is located just off the B3231, which leads towards Saunton. Within the car park, Braunton Museum, Braunton Countryside Centre and The Museum of British Surfing can all be found – each are worth a visit before or after your walk.
