The woodland is separately accessed from the drive and there are the remains of a building where there may be potential to construct a holiday lodge or similar subject to planning permission.

To the rear of the house is a substantial LEAN TO currently utilised for storage but suitable for replacement by something more substantial and possibly two storey. To the left hand side and the rear of the property are mature gardens including log stores, building housing the water pressure tank and filtration equipment and a splendid, recently constructed workshop built 'in keeping' finished in green CGI . We understand that the property once operated as a market garden and to the rear of the house there is evidence of structured beds and concrete bases of former buildings which once stood on site, as evidenced by historic photographs which the vendors display in their dining room, and which will remain as part of the sale. There is also a productive kitchen garden comprising 4 substantial growing beds and a greenhouse 10' x 8'. To the right a large sun deck to enjoy the views and adjoining games lawn, below is a wood shed. Beyond and above is a substantial gently sloping paddock where the woodland area falls between this and the road. In the top left hand corner of the paddock is an area of orchard. The grounds are bounded by a stream, there are mature, high beech hedgerows bounding three sides of the property and the vendors have obtained a felling licence from the Forestry Commission to allow ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the tree tracks and woodland. We understand that this could be transferred to the new owners, subject to solicitor's advice/the requirements of a buyer.

Directions - From Blackmoor Gate take the A39 towards Lynton continue for about half a mile and the entrance to the property will be found on the right.
