DESCRIPTION For those interested in getting away from it all and relocating to one of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of the country, the various components at Higher Dean Farm offer a rare opportunity to satisfy a lifestyle change. The main period farmhouse is of stone construction and presents colourwash rendered elevations beneath a slate roof. The property offers characterful and versatile accommodation, which has been tastefully modernised to combine modern refinements with original period features. The accommodation centres around a generously proportioned kitchen / breakfast room, with attractive period fireplace housing the essential Aga, also with direct access out onto the rear courtyard garden. Immediately adjacent is an original dairy. There are three good sized reception rooms, two with fitted woodburners, and above, 5 bedrooms which incorporate both master and guest suites. The 3 bedroom detached Shippon is, once again, of stone construction, part colourwash rendered, beneath a tiled roof, with accommodation arranged on a reverse level basis, in order that the open plan reception room and kitchen at first floor level enjoy the best of the views towards Exmoor. The kitchen & shower room has been updated recently. We understand that the Shippon was originally restricted to 10 month holiday use, but in recent years has been utilised as ancillary accommodation by relatives. The vendors are in the process of applying to revert the consent to holiday use as there is potential for the property to produce a healthy income. The layout of accommodation for each property, with approximate dimensions, is more clearly identified upon the accompanying floorplans.
