OVERVIEWGuyscliffe Farm has so much to offer and is perfect for those looking for a slice of the good life in the heart of the North Devon countryside. This fabulous 'lifestyle' home presents a range of different opportunities for the new owner and it sits in an idyllic rural location on the very outskirts of the popular coastal village of Combe Martin. Occupying a prominent and elevated location, the property lies in the centre of its own grounds, approached via a sweeping driveway, which amount to 24.165 acres (9.779 hectares) and includes pasture land and paddocks and an area of woodland. The outstanding position offers superb, uninterrupted and far reaching views in every direction over the neighbouring countryside and Exmoor and out towards the Hangman Hills, the Bristol Channel and the rugged coastline. Within the grounds is a huge 75ft x 45ft detached modern barn which has been divided up into different units and again providing a wide variety of different uses with some potential light commercial uses as well subject to any necessary consent. Within the barn there are six different areas including a store and plant room, 2 large and well-equipped workshops, a 30ft long gym, a games room/store and a storage unit that has, in the past, been let out to provide a useful additional income. Guyscliffe Farm also has its own campsite for tented visitors only at present. This is run under the 60 day permitted development rule which allows the site to operate without a camping licence or formal planning permission. The area allocated for the campsite sits on the northern side of the holding and provides six pitches, all with electric hook up points. In addition to that, part of the large barn has been converted to form newly created showers and toilets and a wash-up area for the campers to use whilst on site. Furthermore, the campsite enjoys arguably the finest views of all from the property with the main vista directly down the valley and out towards the Bristol Channel and the rugged coastline. From here, there would be some spectacular sunsets to be enjoyed throughout the year! The land surrounds the farm buildings on all sides and provides a high degree of privacy and seclusion. A sweeping driveway leads up through the grounds which has been recently widened to accommodate larger vehicles. There are various paddocks throughout the holding which are ideal for small animals such as horses, sheep, goats, chickens and ducks. There is also ample space for vegetable production and cultivation if desired. The wooded area provides a delightful area for a stroll out and is a haven for a variety of wildlife. The living accommodation at Guyscliffe Farm is particularly versatile and perfect for the larger family, dual family occupation or for home and income purposes thus further adding to the overall commercial potential of the property. There is a well-presented, much improved and recently modernised 4 bedroom main house which is a modern detached family home built in the mid-1980's with the accommodation designed to take maximum advantage of the outstanding and far reaching views with its reverse level design. Part of the house on the lower ground floor can be closed off to form a small apartment/annexe with its own independent access which comprises a living room, kitchenette an en suite double bedroom as well as a further shower room and separate toilet. This area of the property is perfect for an elderly or dependent relative or for teenage children perhaps. Furthermore, this unit could also be let out as a summer holiday let or as a permanent let on an assured shorthold tenancy. The present owners have undertaken many positive changes to the property adding so much to the buildings and the land to enhance the potential the property offers. A real transformative addition to the property is the recent construction of a superb 60ft x 20ft detached 2 bedroom lodge style home which provides very generously sized ancillary accommodation to the main home. The wooden structured building sits under an attractive natural slate roof with solar PV panels (currently not connected), and has impressive rooms with high vaulted ceilings throughout as well as a 30ft long kitchen/living/dining room, a TV room and a snug/lounge. Both of the bedrooms have their own modern and well-appointed en suite facilities too. Again, the fabulous far reaching views of the coastline and countryside can be enjoyed from more or less every window as well as the two sun terraces and the allocated and enclosed area of rear garden. This newly constructed additional home is perfect for those looking for dual family occupation as it provides all of the modern comforts of any masonry constructed house. Indeed, the present owners have chosen to occupy this part of the property as their main home which then allows for the house to be let out as a holiday home or as a permanent let, for income, if desired.For those who are looking for green credentials, Guyscliffe Farm has solar PV panels sitting on top of the large barn which supplements the electricity supply to main house and the barn and provides a feed in tariff to the National Grid and returns around £600 per annum. There is battery storage as well for this system. There is a further array of solar PV panels on the lodge roof to help provide power to the lodge and also be channelled to battery storage as well. At present, this system is not fully connected. Water is supplied from 2 natural springs. The water from the springs fill holding tanks that total 33,000 litres located in different areas of the property. The water is then pumped into the main house and the lodge providing excellent water pressure. There is also scope to add wind turbines too if required and subject to any necessary consent. THE MAIN HOUSEThe main family home is a modern mid-1980's built reverse level detached house designed to take full advantage of the excellent far reaching views. The accommodation is arranged over two floors with the main living space on the upper ground floor and the bedrooms on the lower ground level. The property has been much improved, modernised and upgraded by the present owners to provide a versatile home ideal for the modern day family or for a family with an elderly or dependent relative as there is an area of the property on the lower ground floor that can be closed off to form an annexe/apartment. This area would also be ideal for teenage children too who want their own independent space. Furthermore, this area could be holiday or permanently let to provide a useful supplementary income. The heating in the main house is supplied via an LP gas boiler. There is also an oil fired Aga which is used as a back-up to the heating and hot water supply. The electricity supply is supplemented by the solar PV panels that sit on top of the large barn. The house has bright and airy accommodation and comprises an entrance lobby where there is access to a shower room which is particularly handy as and when you are working in the garden. The main living space has a cosy yet modern open plan feel with an abundance of light and windows and doors that enjoy the outstanding views across the countryside and out to the coastline. The 16ft long kitchen area has a range of hand-built wooden units complimented by slate work surfaces. There is a central island unit too with a copper double bowl Belfast sink and a breakfast bar. There is the oil-fired Aga as well as an integrated oven and electric hob and further areas of hand-built floor to ceiling cupboards and incorporating space for an American style fridge/freezer. The kitchen opens into the impressive 'L-Shaped' lounge/diner which has maximum measurements of 28ft x 21ft. Throughout the room there is attractive herringbone parquet style wooden floor which has been painstakingly restored and laid by the present owners. The room is set in two distinct areas providing a space for a large dining table and chairs as well a spacious lounge which has a marble fireplace and wood burner which adds character and atmosphere to the property and provides a focal point to the room. There is a built-in dresser unit with cupboards and shelving and glazed double doors to the rear lead out on to the garden whilst at the front, doors open on to a delightful balcony which enjoys the uninterrupted vista. Stairs lead down to the lower ground floor where there are four bedrooms in total, each with their own well-appointed en suite facilities. Two of the bedrooms together with a modern and well-equipped kitchenette, can be shut off from the rest of the house to form the annexe/apartment if required. This would then give accommodation for the annexe of a living room, double bedroom with an en suite shower room, a kitchen and a further shower room and separate toilet. This area can be independently accessed as well to retain privacy from the main house and there are also independent electric heaters that can be run separately from main central heating system. Immediately surrounding the house are landscaped areas of garden including a large front paved patio which is a great space for outdoor entertaining, al-fresco dining and barbecues, sun bathing etc. There is a hot tub too (available by separate negotiation). The patio can be directly accessed via all four bedrooms as well as the kitchenette. The gardens stretch out to the side of the building, laid to terraced lawns and interspersed with shrubs, bushes and trees. At the rear of the house there is an enclosed area immediately behind the building, accessible from the lounge and being ideal for dogs and small children. Beyond there, the gardens continue up and away from the house to an enclosure for ducks/chickens, an ornamental pond with water feature and a greenhouse.THE ANCILLARY LOD...

Guyscliffe Farm a beaucoup à offrir et est parfaite pour ceux qui recherchent une tranche de vie agréable au cœur de la campagne du nord du Devon. Cette fabuleuse maison « style de vie » présente une gamme d’opportunités différentes pour le nouveau propriétaire et se trouve dans un endroit rural idyllique à la périphérie du village côtier populaire de Combe Martin. Occupant un emplacement bien en vue et surélevé, la propriété se trouve au centre de son propre terrain, accessible par une vaste allée, qui s’élève à 24,165 acres (9,779 hectares) et comprend des pâturages et des enclos et une zone boisée. La position exceptionnelle offre une vue superbe, ininterrompue et lointaine dans toutes les directions sur la campagne voisine et Exmoor et vers les collines de Hangman, le canal de Bristol et la côte accidentée. Sur le terrain se trouve une immense grange moderne détachée de 75 pieds x 45 pieds qui a été divisée en différentes unités et offrant à nouveau une grande variété d’utilisations différentes avec des utilisations commerciales légères potentielles ainsi que sous réserve de tout consentement nécessaire. À l’intérieur de la grange, il y a six zones différentes, dont un magasin et une salle des machines, 2 grands ateliers bien équipés, une salle de sport de 30 pieds de long, une salle de jeux / magasin et une unité de stockage qui a, dans le passé, été louée pour fournir un revenu supplémentaire utile. À l’heure actuelle, la ferme Guyscliffe possède également son propre emplacement de camping pour les visiteurs sous tente. Celui-ci est géré selon la règle d’aménagement autorisé de 60 jours qui permet au site d’être exploité sans permis de camping ni permis de construire officiel. L’espace alloué au camping se trouve sur le côté nord de l’exploitation et dispose de six emplacements, tous équipés de points de branchement électrique. En plus de cela, une partie de la grande grange a été convertie pour former des douches et des toilettes nouvellement créées et une zone de lavage que les campeurs peuvent utiliser sur le site. De plus, le camping bénéficie sans doute des plus belles vues de la propriété, avec la vue principale directement sur la vallée et vers le canal de Bristol et le littoral accidenté. De là, il y aurait des couchers de soleil spectaculaires à apprécier tout au long de l’année ! Le terrain entoure les bâtiments de la ferme de tous les côtés et offre un haut degré d’intimité et d’isolement. Une vaste allée mène à travers le terrain qui a été récemment élargi pour accueillir des véhicules plus grands. Il y a plusieurs enclos dans toute la propriété qui sont idéaux pour les petits animaux tels que les chevaux, les moutons, les chèvres, les poulets et les canards. Il y a aussi beaucoup d’espace pour la production et la culture de légumes si vous le souhaitez. La zone boisée offre un endroit charmant pour une promenade et est un refuge pour une variété d’animaux sauvages. Le logement à la ferme Guyscliffe est particulièrement polyvalent et parfait pour la grande famille, l’occupation de la double famille ou à des fins de maison et de revenu, ajoutant ainsi au potentiel commercial global de la propriété. Il y a une maison principale de 4 chambres bien présentée, très améliorée et récemment modernisée, qui est une maison familiale individuelle moderne construite au milieu des années 1980 avec un logement conçu pour profiter au maximum des vues exceptionnelles et lointaines avec sa conception à l’envers. Une partie de la maison au rez-de-chaussée inférieur peut être fermée pour former un petit appartement/annexe avec son propre accès indépendant qui comprend un salon, une kitchenette, une chambre double en suite ainsi qu’une autre salle de douche et des toilettes séparées. Cette zone de la propriété est parfaite pour un parent âgé ou dépendant ou pour les enfants adolescents peut-être. De plus, cette unité pourrait également être louée en tant que location de vacances d’été ou en tant que location permanente sur une location à court terme assurée. Les propriétaires actuels ont entrepris de nombreux changements positifs à la propriété, ajoutant beaucoup aux bâtiments et au terrain pour améliorer le potentiel de la propriété. Un véritable ajout transformateur à la propriété est la construction récente d’une superbe maison individuelle de style lodge de 2 chambres de 60 pieds x 20 pieds qui offre un hébergement auxiliaire de taille très généreuse à la maison principale. Le bâtiment structuré en bois se trouve sous un toit d’ardoise naturelle attrayant avec des panneaux solaires photovoltaïques (actuellement non connectés), et dispose de pièces impressionnantes avec de hauts plafonds voûtés ainsi que d’une cuisine / salon / salle à manger de 30 pieds de long, d’une salle de télévision et d’un salon confortable. Les deux chambres disposent également de leur propre salle de bains privative moderne et bien aménagée. Encore une fois, les vues fabuleuses sur le littoral et la campagne peuvent être appréciées de plus ou moins toutes les fenêtres ainsi que des deux terrasses ensoleillées et de la zone allouée et fermée du jardin arrière. Cette maison supplémentaire nouvellement construite est parfaite pour ceux qui recherchent une occupation double familiale car elle offre tout le confort moderne de toute maison construite en maçonnerie. En effet, les propriétaires actuels ont choisi d’occuper cette partie de la propriété comme résidence principale ce qui permet ensuite à la maison d’être louée en tant que maison de vacances ou en tant que location permanente, moyennant des revenus, si vous le souhaitez. Pour ceux qui recherchent des références écologiques, Guyscliffe Farm a des panneaux solaires photovoltaïques assis sur le dessus de la grande grange qui complète l’alimentation électrique de la maison principale et de la grange et fournit un tarif de rachat au réseau national et rapporte environ 600 £ par an. Il y a également un stockage sur batterie pour ce système. Il y a un autre réseau de panneaux solaires photovoltaïques sur le toit du lodge pour aider à fournir de l’énergie au lodge et également être canalisé vers le stockage par batterie. À l’heure actuelle, ce système n’est pas entièrement connecté. L’eau est fournie par 2 sources naturelles. L’eau des sources remplit des réservoirs de rétention d’une capacité totale de 33 000 litres situés dans différentes zones de la propriété. L’eau est ensuite pompée dans la maison principale et le lodge en fournissant une excellente pression d’eau. Il est également possible d’ajouter des éoliennes si nécessaire et sous réserve de tout consentement nécessaire. LA MAISON PRINCIPALE La maison familiale principale est une maison individuelle moderne du milieu des années 1980 construite à l’envers conçue pour profiter pleinement des excellentes vues lointaines. Le logement est aménagé sur deux étages avec l’espace de vie principal au rez-de-chaussée supérieur et les chambres au rez-de-chaussée inférieur. La propriété a été beaucoup améliorée, modernisée et mise à niveau par les propriétaires actuels pour fournir une maison polyvalente idéale pour la famille moderne ou pour une famille avec un parent âgé ou dépendant, car il y a une zone de la propriété au rez-de-chaussée inférieur qui peut être fermée pour former une annexe / appartement. Cet espace serait également idéal pour les adolescents qui souhaitent avoir leur propre espace indépendant. De plus, cette zone pourrait être louée en vacances ou en permanence pour fournir un revenu supplémentaire utile. Le chauffage de la maison principale est assuré par une chaudière au gaz GPL. Il y a aussi un Aga au mazout qui est utilisé comme appoint pour le chauffage et l’approvisionnement en eau chaude. L’alimentation électrique est complétée par les panneaux solaires photovoltaïques qui se trouvent au-dessus de la grande grange. La maison dispose d’un logement lumineux et aéré et comprend un hall d’entrée où il y a un accès à une salle de douche, ce qui est particulièrement pratique lorsque vous travaillez dans le jardin. L’espace de vie principal a une sensation ouverte confortable mais moderne avec une abondance de lumière et des fenêtres et des portes qui bénéficient d’une vue exceptionnelle sur la campagne et sur le littoral. La cuisine de 16 pieds de long dispose d’une gamme d’unités en bois fabriquées à la main complétées par des surfaces de travail en ardoise. Il y a aussi un îlot central avec un évier Belfast à double cuve en cuivre et un bar pour le petit-déjeuner. Il y a l’Aga au mazout ainsi qu’un four intégré et une plaque de cuisson électrique et d’autres zones d’armoires construites à la main du sol au plafond et incorporant de l’espace pour un réfrigérateur / congélateur de style américain. La cuisine s’ouvre sur l’impressionnant salon/salle à manger en forme de L qui a des dimensions maximales de 28 pieds x 21 pieds. Dans toute la pièce, il y a un joli parquet à chevrons qui a été minutieusement restauré et posé par les propriétaires actuels. La pièce est située dans deux zones distinctes offrant un espace pour une grande table à manger et des chaises, ainsi qu’un salon spacieux qui dispose d’une cheminée en marbre et d’un poêle à bois qui ajoute du caractère et de l’atmosphère à la propriété et constitue un point focal à la pièce. Il y a une commode intégrée avec placards et étagères et des doubles portes vitrées à l’arrière donnant sur le jardin tandis qu’à l’avant, les portes s’ouvrent sur un charmant balcon qui bénéficie d’une vue ininterrompue.
