A beautifully presented four bedroom character farmhouse surrounded by its own gardens is on the market for £825,000.
Enjoying a rural aspect with paddocks, Higher Mills Farm possesses an elevated position in the Exe Valley on the edge of the village of Exford, which is in the very heart of Exmoor National Park. It is adjacent to open farmland and has incredible countryside views.
The property is ideally situated to take advantage of all country pursuits, including riding and walking in the valleys and on the open expanses of Exmoor, with the coast to the north also being within easy reach.
This makes it perfect for those who enjoy more active pursuits, and also have a great appreciation for natural beauty. No matter where you go for a walk or ride, there will be some fantastic views to appreciate.
Higher Mills Farm offers spacious accommodation with two reception rooms and a kitchen/breakfast room and is complemented by its gardens and paddocks. There are fine views, mainly from the first floor to open fields and woodlands.
The front door leads into the hallway with stairs to the first floor, cloakroom, under-stair storage, a cupboard housing a washing machine and a door to the rear garden.
These features, along with the decent sized hallway, helps to make the house feel more welcoming for residents, providing great amenities that help keep the house a lot neater and tidier, which in turn creates a better sense of homeliness within this property.
The hallway provides easy access to both the sitting room and the kitchen, making it well connected, further enhancing the welcoming nature of the home.
To the right of the hallway when first entering is the beautiful sitting room, which comes with a window overlooking the garden, an inglenook fireplace with a wood burner and alcove with shelving to one side.
The sitting room is also generously proportioned, creating a welcoming atmosphere that can be enjoyed by either the entire family.
This is an incredibly property where residents will enjoy memorable sociable moments, with everyone in cosy places around the fire in the colder months while watching a movie, playing games together, or simply having a nice conversation with one another.
On the other side of the hallway, there is a fully fitted kitchen that includes a double Belfast sink, a double-oven Rangemaster with an extractor fan set into the fireplace recess along with a bread-oven, lighting, base and wall units with display cupboards, a full-length larder cupboard, an integral dishwasher and fridge/freezer.
The kitchen is filled with an incredible amount of amenities, which help provide a great level of convenience to those cooking their meals here. It should mean that meals are prepared more efficiently and other chores like cleaning and putting dishes away can be done without much hassle.
The bread oven also means that those with a passion for baking as a hobby can indulge themselves and impress friends and family with their skills.
The kitchen is also double aspect with views to the rear and front, providing wonderful views of the surrounding countryside to enhance the atmosphere when cooking.
Wooden beams can also be found running across the ceiling of both the sitting room and the kitchen, providing this home with a lovely rustic charm.
Beyond the kitchen is the large dining room with views to the front and side of the property. This provides a wonderful dedicated space for families to come together and enjoy the great meals prepared in the kitchen in the outside space. Food is always better when enjoyed in the company of others.
Heading up onto the first floor, there are four bedrooms, which includes the master bedroom that comes with an en-suite shower room.
There are also two further double bedrooms and a single bedroom, all with fitted wardrobes and beautiful views across the surrounding countryside, a perfect view for everyone to wake up to in the morning.
Most of the bedrooms are comparatively similar in size, providing generous amounts of space for everyone to be able to enjoy their own personal corner of the house, where they can relax and unwind as they can take some personal time in a comfortable and welcoming environment.
The hallway provides easy access to each of these bedrooms, as well as a fully fitted family shower room, which also has ample storage space in order to keep it as tidy as possible.
The property is approached off a quiet country lane which leads to ample parking and the garage, which will be perfect for families with more than one car or those who expect to host family and friends.
The gardens surround the house and are mainly laid to lawns with shrubs and flower borders.
Adjoining the gardens are fields which are divided into three enclosures and are mainly bordered by hedges and post and wire fencing.
The gardens provide an enhanced atmosphere to the property, creating even more natural beauty than what is already found in this area of Exmoor National Park. Those looking for a great place for a countryside retreat will fall in love with this property and its location, gardens and scenery.
There would be room within the curtilage of the property to erect stabling/outbuildings subject to any planning consent that may be required.
The paddocks are accessed via a five bar gate to the field on the southern side with further access via a pedestrian field gate from the gardens. Outside of the property there is a log store/outbuilding and oil tank.
