Description

Higher West Coombe is a traditional Dartmoor smallholding of great practicality and charm close to open moorland. The farm comprises a detached granite Grade II listed 3 / 4 bedroom house offered in excellent internal condition, several useful outbuildings of granite and more modern construction including a detached granite barn with planning permission to convert to one bedroom ancillary accommodation. The land extends to approximately 42 acres of varied land with the majority laid to permanent pasture with a small amount of rough woodland and is bisected by a moorland stream that feeds two wildlife ponds at the lower end of the property.

Accommodation

The barn style front door opens into the Porch/Boot Room housing the oil-fired boiler with further access into the L-shaped Kitchen/Diner offering a range of bespoke oak units with granite work surfaces, Belfast sink and appliances including electric Aga and slimline dishwasher. This leads through to the attractive and bright semi open plan Living and Dining Room with a granite surround Inglenook fireplace housing the woodburner, modern and traditional timber beams and further character features with steps up to the Dining Room with further ceiling timbers and shelving. A concealed staircase rises to the first floor and a timber door opens into the Office/Bedroom 4 with potential for a number of uses and also offering ceiling timbers.

The first floor landing is split level with further character beams and attractive oak and stone features. The main bedroom benefits from some exposed historic beams and feels particularly bright despite some reduced headheight and is to the far gable end overlooking the yard, garden and some surrounding land. Bedroom Two has double folding oak doors allowing it to be opened to the landing if required and also has access to some loft storage. Bedroom Three overlooks the front garden. There is also a family bathroom with good sized Airing Cupboard.
