A beautiful 17th Century farmhouse with additional barn conversion and significant surrounding land including beautiful fields and several gorgeous ponds. Higher Coombe Farm is a glorious 17th Century farmhouse with outbuildings located in a secluded natural valley deep in the heart of the stunning South Devon Countryside. The house is approached along a private lane surrounded by natural woodland which leads to a large driveway and hardstanding with extensive room for parking and further storage.The handsome main farmhouse is well-proportioned with many lovely traditional features and sympathetic renovations and extensions combining to create a contemporary family home with a wonderful sense of history. Accessing the house through the welcoming entrance porch with wooden front door with stained glass window you enter the central hallway and to the left is a delightful main corner reception room with dual aspect and an impressive stone chimney and fireplace with wood burner and wooden window seat. On the right of the hallway is a cosy snug full of character and with another stone fireplace, chimney and wood burner. To the rear and with access to both the reception and snug, is a fantastic music room, simple and sophisticated in design and flooded with natural light with floor to ceiling windows and a central vaulted ceiling skylight as well as wood floors, a fireplace, French doors and recessed shelving.The farmhouse style kitchen is positioned to the side of the house with secondary front access through French doors and stone-tiled floors, an aga, an array of wall and floor kitchen units and a central island for informal family dining. Behind is a useful pantry, further storage and a large utility/boot room, with a downstairs WC tucked away off the snug. At the far end of the house and leading from the kitchen, is a generous conservatory, almost completely glazed with space for dining, French doors, Cornish slate under sills and with an exceptional outlook across the gardens and water.Upstairs offers further spacious proportions with a light and bright landing, with elegant dark wood detailing, leading to four front facing bedrooms all with outstanding views to the natural surroundings outside. The principal bedroom is located at the far end which has a wonderful double aspect, a private dressing room, built in wardrobe and an en-suite with hand basin and WC. There are two further double bedrooms, a single bedroom and two contemporary bathrooms.The house has an array of traditional features, not least the exposed wooden ceiling beams which are consistent throughout the house. The house is double glazed and benefits from solar panels and two new oil tanks.Adjacent to the farmhouse is Well Cottage which is a two storey barn conversion full of character and charm and includes bespoke, handmade, wooden windows and doors. The upper floor is open plan with exposed vaulted ceiling and large central picture window, once again taking advantage of the glorious views across the grounds. Downstairs are two bedrooms and a bathroom with a back door leading across a secluded courtyard to the main house past a charming well. The upper floor is currently used as a home office but the entire building offers real versatility as additional family accommodation, guest quarters or for additional revenue from long term or holiday rental.Higher Coombe Farm has extensive areas of fields, pasture and woodland that make up roughly 18 acres of land. The driveway leads around the house and an unconverted pigsty, which is used for storage and a linhey with room for vehicles and equipment.

From the front of the house are stunning lawns gently sloping down towards one of three large private ponds perfect for a dip in the summer with a delightful orangery providing a perfect view of the gardens and water. The grounds are full of a variety of plants and wildlife and have been well-cared for and this can be fully appreciated from the raised patio area to the front and side of the house. Almost the entire plot can be seen from the windows of the house and it is quite rare to find a property of this size where everything you see belongs to the house.Higher Coombe Farm is located deep in the rolling hills of the South Hams countryside.
