West Millbrook comprises a most attractive and adaptable residential smallholding enjoying a delightful rural position. Having been in the ownership of the current vendors family for over 57 years, this is believed to be the first time the property has actually been offered for sale on the open market for some 140 years. The sale thereby affords prospective purchasers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a most versatile rural property, affording significant residential, development, holiday letting, equestrian and smallholder appeal.
The property is centered upon a detached farmhouse, believed to date from around 1900 and incorporating a self contained annexe, the whole providing spacious five bedroomed accommodation and enjoying wonderful views over its own gardens and the beautiful North Devon countryside beyond. Set within the farmyard is a detached traditional building containing two attractive holiday cottages affording significant alternative income potential, with space to sleep up to 14 guests. In addition, a substantial agricultural barn has recently obtained permitted development (Class Q) for conversion to a large four bedroomed detached dwelling. The property also benefits from further useful outbuildings and an excellent block of productive pasture land, sloping gently down to a pretty stream. West Millbrook extends to about 30.31 Acres (12.27 Ha) and is offered for sale as a whole or in lots, as described within these sale particulars.

West Millbrook is situated on the southern periphery of Exmoor, lying just outside the National Park enjoying an exceptional setting with wonderful views. This attractive and undulating band of countryside consists a predominantly agricultural landscape primarily comprising pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of woodland and pretty river valleys.
Despite its peaceful rural position West Millbrook still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield. The sought after village of North Molton provides a thriving local community offering a primary school, village shop/post office, garage, sports club and popular public house. The bustling North Devon market town of South Molton to the south west provides a good range of local services, including shops, bank, recreational facilities, primary and secondary schooling. The larger centre of Barnstaple to the west affords a more extensive range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities befitting those of an important regional centre.
The nearby Exmoor National Park offers 267 square miles of beautiful protected landscape with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline. To the west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe. The property is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside providing a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Bray, Mole and Taw, hunting, shooting and golf courses at High Bullen, Barnstaple and Tiverton. From South Molton the A361 North Devon Link Road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27) with mainline Intercity rail links available at Tiverton Parkway (Paddington approx. 2 hours) and international airports at Exeter and Bristol.

The property is approached from the council road over a private gated entrance drive, flanked with privet hedges, flower and shrub beds and gardens. This drive continues past the house to a car parking and turning area, adjacent to which is situated a Single Garage, 5.5m x 3m. On the lower side of the parking area is a useful Workshop/Store, approx. 8.9m x 3m, with power and water connected. The farmhouse overlooks a smart and well maintained formal garden which has been terraced to provide two lawned areas with flower and shrub borders. Beyond this are raised and gravelled gardens and sitting out areas, with a gate leading out to a Children's Play Area. To the rear of the house are further pretty raised gardens with stone steps and pathways.
