Position!, Position!, Position! - A renovation project comprising a well detached period farmhouse [in two interconnecting wings] and detached character bungalow, set in 27.81 acres, crossed by the Heddon river, in a timeless and tranquil Exmoor valley. EPC bands F.
Situation And Amenities - The property is beautifully located to the north western end of the Exmoor National Park, is well detached with no near neighbours, set within its own grounds in a pretty, unspoilt valley location adjoining Trentishoe Common, owned by the National Trust, and about a mile inland from the dramatic North Devon Coastline. Trentishoe is mid way between the twin coastal resort towns of Lynton and Lynmouth (about 7.5 miles) to the east and the village of Combe Martin (approximately 5.5 miles ) to the west. About a mile to the north is the ancient parish church, with the Hunter's Inn at Heddons Mouth being just about a mile and a half to the east. Barnstaple, the regional centre is about 15 miles, or just over half an hour away to the south. At Barnstaple there is access to the North Devon Link Road which runs on to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway in about a further 45 minutes or so, and where Tiverton Parkway offers a fast service of trains to London, Paddington, in just over two hours. North Devon's famous surfing beaches are all about half an hour away, there are extensive walks and bridle paths on Trentishoe Common and the surrounding unspoilt farmland.
Description - Mill Ham comprises a detached two storey former Devon Longhouse believed to date back originally about 300 years and which presents painted and stone elevations beneath a slate roof. The house was substantially extended to provide an intercommunicating two storey cottage annexe, which can also be self contained. In addition there is a single storey flat roofed cottage which we understand may once have had a pitched roof. The property enters the market for the first time since 1969 and would benefit from general modernisation and improvement. The main house has considerable charm and character, an original fireplace, exposed beams and ceiling joists and enjoys a southerly aspect set within its secluded grounds. We understand that the property is freehold and registered as one title. We believe that the three components are separately rated as Mill Ham, The Annexe, Mill Ham and The Bungalow, Mill Ham. We understand that the owners have in the past kept livestock on the property as well as horses but now many of the fields are overgrown, but organic and provide a haven for wildlife; Woodpeckers, Jays, deer, butterflies and the like.
