A spacious, period farmhouse set in this truly special location. Four reception rooms, six bedrooms, extensive parking, formal gardens, a range of outbuildings/stables, and around 3.5 acres of pasture land. EPC rating F.
Situation - Southole Farmhouse is set in a sheltered south-facing valley in the rural hamlet of South Hole, one of the cluster of hamlets known as Welcombe. A short walk across a field is the spectacular South West Coast Path which provides uninterrupted cliff top and coastal walks along the rugged coastline renowned for its dramatic scenery and sea views. The property is about 5 minutes from Welcombe Mouth beach and the village with its church, Farm Shop/Cafe and thatched public house.
The property overlooks National Trust land and is close to the Hartland Heritage Coast. The village of Hartland which lies about 5 miles away has an excellent range of amenities including shops, post office, pubs, medical centre, primary school, churches and societies. It also has a thriving artistic community with several potters, artists, furniture makers and photographers. There are many attractions within the Hartland Peninsula including Hartland Abbey founded in 1157, the Lighthouse at Hartland Point, a 16th Century quay with its shipwreck museum and Docton Mill Gardens. In addition, the picturesque cobbled village of Clovelly is 10 miles, the seaside resort of Bude 14 miles and the historic port of Bideford 20 miles. The regional centre of Barnstaple is about 28 miles away and from there the North Devon Link Road connects directly with the M5 motorway at Junction 27 and Tiverton Parkway (2 hours Paddington).
Description - This a superb opportunity to acquire a spacious, period farmhouse in this truly special location, close to the coast and on the edge of National Trust land, all within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The farmhouse itself has a wealth of character and charm and comprises four reception rooms, six bedrooms, two bathrooms and a shower room. The origins of the property are believed to date back to the 17th Century with further Georgian and Victorian extensions. Externally the property benefits from extensive parking, formal gardens to the front and back, a range of outbuildings/stables, and around 3.5 acres of slightly sloping pasture land which could be used for sheep, goats or equestrian use if desired.
Accommmodation - Southole Farmhouse has an entrance off the delightful cobbled path which runs through the front garden. From the front door, the living room leads to a series of rooms with an abundance of character, the proportions of the house are impressive, the living room includes original flagstone flooring and Redfyre stove and door to rear porch. The kitchen comprises a range of shaker style wooden units with Corian workstops, Belfast sink, integrated appliances, engineered oak flooring, and space for breakfast table with built in bench seating. On from here is the useful utility room and porch. The dual aspect dining room is full of character and includes flagstone flooring and wood burner, and on from here is an office/bedroom and the delightful sitting room with wood burner and French doors to the front garden.
On the first floor there are five bedrooms in total, two bathrooms and a shower room. All but one of the bedrooms are doubles and enjoy some fantastic views of the surrounding countryside.
Outside - The property is approached via a five-bar gate with extensive parking and access to the garden, outbuildings and land.
To the very front of the house is an attractive walled garden with cobbled path, area of lawn and terrace surrounded by an assortment of plants, shrubs and trees.
Behind the house the grounds surround the property giving complete privacy and protection, there is a small stone outbuilding, vegetable beds and space for tables, chairs etc. with views of both your own and National Trust land. The sound of waves crashing over rocks at the foot of the cliffs are a frequent reminder of this property's unique position.

The surrounding land is predominantly rolling pasture divided into fields with natural hedge boundaries. The land in all extends to approximately 3.5 acres.
