Situation - Swincombe is very privately set on high ground between the villages of Bishops Nympton and Rose Ash and enjoys breath taking views to Exmoor in the distance. The nearby small village of Rose Ash has a church and village hall, whilst the larger village of Bishops Nympton (just over two miles) offers a wider range of amenities including community shop/Post Office, village hall, parish church and primary school. The local market of South Molton is five miles away and offers a wider range of amenities and facilities including banking, a wide variety of shops and commercial venues, supermarket and schooling to secondary level. The Exmoor National Park and the regional centres of Barnstaple and Tiverton are both within easy reach by car.
Description - Being offered to the market for the first time since the late 1960s, Swincombe is centred on a private and spacious period house that offers spacious accommodation with three reception rooms and five double bedrooms and offers plenty of potential but does require considerable modernisation throughout. There is a handy range of outbuildings including a large garage/workshop and a purpose built forge and range of stables.
The property is offered with a good holding pasture land with the whole amounting to just over 12 acres.
Accommodation - A glazed front door leads into an entrance LOBBY which is open to the double aspect LIVING ROOM with a stone fireplace with bread oven and wood burning stove. The KITCHEN/BREAKFAST ROOM has stunning countryside views over the rear garden to Exmoor in the distance and is fitted with a range of units, double bowl stainless sink with mixer tap, plumbing for washing machine and oil fired Rayburn. The SITTING ROOM has a large stone fireplace with bread oven and large wood burning stove and recessed seat to the right. At the eastern end of the house is a DINING ROOM with a tiled floor, stone fireplace with open hearth and door to outside.

On the FIRST FLOOR the LANDING leads off to FIVE DOUBLE BEDROOMS, all with fitted or built-in wardrobes/cupboards with the two bedrooms to the rear enjoying far reaching views to Exmoor. The CLOAKROOM has a WC and wash basin.
