4 bedroom house

Higher Coombe Farm is a fabulous country home. This stunning and distinctive period Grade II residence is located in a much sought-after part of the Devon countryside having the warmth and feel of an inviting family home, filled with character and charm throughout. Offering ample scope to create extra accommodation for a growing family, it stands surrounded by beautiful mature gardens and grounds with an array of traditional outbuildings, separate 5-acre paddock and many other features that make this such an interesting and varied property.

The 4-bedroom dwelling (which measures circa 3123sq.ft) includes a fine range of elegantly proportioned reception rooms and bedrooms and is steeped in history.
Outside there is a pretty, enclosed courtyard with access to the traditional outbuildings, workshops and double garage. Mature manicured gardens to the front of the property with a large lawn provide perfect outdoor space for entertaining in the warmer months. The property also benefits from ample parking and the potential to convert the attached stone outbuilding to secondary accommodation. Within the grounds, close to the house, is a separate 5-acre paddock having its own 5 bar gate entrance and 3 bay contemporary linhay.
