Incombe Head is an elegant, 1950’s home situated in the most fabulous location with views overlooking the Blackmore Vale and surrounded by National Trust owned land.
Incombe Head is a handsome family home situated in an elevated position with outstanding views over the Blackmore Vale. The property has undergone much updating including new, bespoke Accoya windows and doors, air conditioning, high performance fibre broadband, CCTV , a garden studio, large garage / workshop with self-contained flat above and planning permission for a covered pool. Incombe Head provides spacious and flexible accommodation which could accommodate extended family or income potential, but still offers the chance for new owners to make their mark with further re-modelling or extending subject to the necessary consents.
The property features include high ceilings, parquet flooring, original stone windows, oak doors and truly amazing far reaching views. The detached garage can accommodate several cars and still provide space for a working bench or storage. The purpose built garden studio includes water, WC, a solid floor, air conditioning and WIFI. and is currently used as a home gym but would be an ideal office, yoga / art studio or party room. The two stables and tack room are ideally situated next to the manège and one of the paddocks. The second smaller paddock would be ideal for a few goats and/or sheep.

There are two stables and tack room connected to water and electricity adjacent to the paddock which also benefits from a water supply. From the bottom of the drive a gate gives access to a small paddock, also with a water supply and on to pathways that zig-zag up through the woods to a picnic area where there are magnificent views and a timber tree-house. In all the property measure just over 10 Acres.
