Overview

Lower North Coombe Farm is a mixed agricultural holding extending to approximately 131 acres in all, having remained in the same family ownership for some 50 years. The farm comprises an attractive, Grade II listed farmhouse, a collection of versatile farm buildings and a highly productive run of arable and pasture land. The holding has been farmed in recent years as a mixed livestock and arable unit, with beef cattle and sheep enterprises complemented by an arable rotation.

Lower North Coombe Farmhouse

The Grade II listed farmhouse is believed to date from the 16th century, with subsequent alterations including remodelling in the mid-19th century. Constructed of rendered cob beneath a slate roof, the house retains a distinctive character including traditional multi-pane windows and a moulded plaster eaves cornice. The accommodation is arranged over two floors and has been occupied in recent years as a five-bedroom farmhouse with an adjoining three-bedroom annexe, although the interconnecting layout lends itself to reinstatement as a single eight-bedroom farmhouse. The ground floor comprises an entrance hall, two sitting rooms, two kitchen/dining rooms, an office, utility room, porch and two bathrooms, together with a side lobby and ancillary storage. Two staircases lead to the first floor, which provides eight bedrooms and a study, with connecting landings serving the two parts of the house. Adjoining barns and stores provide further space ancillary to the farmhouse. To the front of the farmhouse is a lawned garden interspersed with established shrubs and planted borders. The garden extends down to a brook which provides an attractive natural feature.

Farm Buildings

The farm buildings comprise a range of traditional barns and later agricultural buildings, grouped around yards adjoining the farmhouse. Used throughout their history for agricultural purposes, they provide a combination of livestock accommodation and storage for crops, fodder and machinery, supporting the holding’s mixed farming operations. Of particular interest is the old waterwheel house, which forms a distinctive feature of the farmstead and reflects its agricultural heritage. The buildings comprise the following;

1) Former silage pit. Steel framed with sheeted roof.

2) Livestock housing/general purpose store. Block built with steel frame. Sheeted roof.

Land

The land extends to approximately 131.38 acres in all, comprising good quality grade 2 and 3 arable and pasture land. The majority of which benefits from Devons sought after red soils, described as freely draining and slightly acidic which have supported the successful production of a wide range of cereal and fodder crops. Part of the land has been managed within an arable rotation, with the remaining grassland used for grazing and forage production. The quality and versatility of the land offers capability to support a broad range of farming systems. One field adjoins the A3072 providing a useful means of access to the holding and facilitating access for larger agricultural machinery.
