Set on about 11.8 acres with sweeping valley views, this versatile modern farmhouse and separate annexe will suit multi-generation families or equestrian enthusiasts. The main house offers five bedrooms, three bathrooms and generous open-plan living that connects to a large garden room capturing the panorama. The two/three-bedroom annexe provides independent living or potential rental income, subject to consents.
The site is already well-equipped for horses: a large clear-span barn with American-style stabling, seven looseboxes, tack rooms, a horse walker and a 40m x 20m sand school. Some equestrian elements will need attention—the sand school requires refurbishment—and a timber barn has previously held planning permission for conversion (permission has now lapsed), offering redevelopment potential for a garage, workshop, gym and office if consent is re-obtained.
Practicalities are straightforward: mains water and electricity, private drainage via a septic tank, and oil-fired central heating with boiler and radiators. The property is chain free and set in a sunny, south-facing position with pasture, formal gardens and streamside wildlife habitat. Buyers should note the granite walls are presumed uninsulated and the lodge-style barn permission has expired, so factor refurbishment and any planning costs into budgets.
This is a rare opportunity to buy a large equestrian holding within walking distance of Bratton Fleming village and a short drive from Exmoor and the North Devon coast. Early viewing is advised to appreciate the setting, existing facilities and scope for enhancement.
