Description - Lee Manor Farm occupies a stunning location with a fine outlook towards the sea.

Farriers End - Farriers End is a detached split level house which was cleverly converted from a traditional stone barn. It has spacious accommodation with a living room with wood-burning stove, hand-made kitchen with granite work surfaces and dining area. There is a double bedroom, a twin bedroom and bathroom.

Shepherds Barn - The Shepherds Barn is a traditional stone built building, opposite Farriers End, which has been completely renovated to provide a shower, WC, kitchen facilities and a seating area with wood-burning stove. This building is currently used as a wash and rest room for for overnight stays when calving or lambing.

The Land & Woodland - The pasture land offers much privacy and protection for Farriers End and most of the pasture enjoys stunning panoramic sea views and forms part of a scenic coastline conserved as Heritage Coast. You can see out across the Bristol Channel to Lundy Island and the Welsh coast beyond.

The pasture is currently used for grazing cattle and is well divided by attractive Devon bank hedges, which contain a wonderful variety of wild flowers, including honeysuckle, wild roses, primroses, wild orchids, foxgloves, bluebells and violets. The farm has been re-fenced and all of the fields have access to a mains water supply.

The woodland is classified as ancient woodland and provides a natural habitat for flora, including bluebells and orchids in the spring months, and a wealth of wildlife. The trees are mostly mature and deciduous, with a stream flowing along the eastern boundary. The woodland is protected by a tree preservation order.
