4 SITUATION Dryhill Farm sits in a superb elevated position, high above the Exe Valley, between the villages of Cove and Stoodleigh. The property is well located, being within easy reach of Bampton, Tiverton and communication links as well as The Exmoor National Park and some of the UK s most beautiful, unspoilt countryside and coastline. Stoodleigh has a village pub, a church, village hall and an active cricket club. Bampton at just over 3 miles to the north has a good selection of everyday amenities including an artisan baker, butcher, greengrocer, two convenience stores, pubs and a restaurant. Tiverton, about 6 miles to the south, has a further range of shopping and leisure facilities, including the Exe Valley Leisure Centre and a Marks & Spencer Food Hall. There are many well-regarded primary schools in the area including Bampton and Bolham. Tiverton has a secondary school and college. The property is within the 10 mile discounted radius of Blundell s School in Tiverton and there is a further selection of private schools in Wellington, Exeter and Taunton. Communication links to the area are excellent, with the A361 providing dual carriageway links to Barnstable and the north coast, or the M5 Motorway. There is a main line train station at Tiverton Parkway, offering regular, direct links to London Paddington in about 2 hours. Exeter International Airport also has a range of flights to UK and international destinations, including a daily flight to London City Airport. DESCRIPTION Dryhill Farm is an enchanting family home set in about 10 acres of its own land, enjoying spectacular and farreaching 360 views over the Exe Valley and surrounding countryside. The farmhouse is constructed of stone, under a slate roof and has been extensively restored in recent years to a high standard throughout whilst retaining a wealth of original features. The building offers a spacious and adaptable layout over two floors and benefits from a host of green features including solar panels, a heat pump and sheep wool loft insulation. The building is arranged as an L-shape, giving the option for a section of the house to be made self-contained, either as an annexe or a holiday let to generate an income.

5 ACCOMMODATION In the main house there is an entrance hall, a study, sitting room with inglenook fireplace and a dining room with original dairy brick floor. Both the study and sitting room have been fitted with a Woodwarm woodburning stove. The Farmhouse kitchen has an original flagstone floor and an inglenook fireplace with two bread ovens and a Rayburn inset. From the kitchen French doors open onto a terrace and garden. There is a spacious boot room with access to the laundry/utility room, from which there is access to a shower room. There are four bedrooms on the first floor of the main house, the main bedroom being ensuite, and a family bathroom. From the boot room on the ground floor, there is a large family/garden room and study/bedroom with an ensuite shower room and two further ensuite bedrooms above, which could all be self-contained if required. GARDENS AND GROUNDS The house is accessed from the lane via a drive across the property s land which leads down to a yard with plenty of parking and turning space in front of the house. There is also a substantial detached barn which has, in the past, been used for stabling, tack rooms, feed and hay stores; this has plenty of potential for conversion, subject to the necessary consents. In front of the farmhouse there is a walled garden area, which has been planted for year-round colour and scent with traditional cottage garden plants: roses, lavenders, spring bulbs, winter flowering honeysuckles and winter box. There is a circular stone seating area outside the kitchen door which catches the breakfast sun. The opposite side of the courtyard is edged with box hedge and fronted with white lavender. From here a path leads to staggered seating areas surrounded with roses and sheltered by evergreen winter flowering shrubs. There is also a large area of lawn, a fruit garden and vegetable plot and wooded area filled with snowdrops in the spring. To the north and east of the farmhouse and barn there are a selection of paddocks which include a pond and orchard, all of which are reasonably level and suitable for keeping livestock and horses.
