The Property and its Setting
Streamcombe is located within a short drive of the renowned Exmoor community of Dulverton and as such has the benefit of being within some of the most beautiful countryside within the West Country. The property is located in a tranquil valley, at the end of a ½ mile private drive accessing both the house and the land. There is no doubt that the unique and wild setting plus the beautiful stone barns are a major feature of this home.

The main house was built in c.1850, is largely unaltered and retains many original features. This is linked to a sympathetic and award winning characterful barn conversion via a hardwood conservatory/dining room. This barn and the surrounding buildings are of earlier construction, some c. 300 years old.

The Exmoor market town of Dulverton offers a wide range of independent shops, stores, farmers' market, renowned restaurants and pubs (popular with locals and visitors alike). Local amenities including primary school, doctors, dentist, vets, pharmacy, beauty spa, and sports facilities including a cricket club, tennis and squash courts. For those keen on country pursuits and sporting activities, Exmoor is one of the smallest National Parks (267 square miles) but arguably one of the most attractive, offering such a variety of scenery from high heather-clad moorland, deep wooded river valleys to the breathtaking coastline boasting the highest marine cliffs in England and of course Exmoor's famous amazing Dark Skies, which can be admired from the grounds of the property.

Past Residential and Commercial Usage
The property has been run as a family home alongside a successful B and B (See Floor Plan indicating the parts that are residential and B and B designated), renowned cookery school, woodland wedding venue and some camping. The Cookery School does not form any part of the sale of this property and will be continued elsewhere by our clients.

Sold as a Whole on Two Separate Titles
The property is being sold as a whole but as part of two separate Titles with different ownership. Both clients have confirmed that they are happy for the whole to be combined as one simultaneous exchange and completion. Once a final price has been agreed the agents will provide potential apportionment figures for each part for all the parties involved.

Right of Way and Hunting Rights etc
A public Footpath crosses part of the combined freeholds. It passes through the lower pasture to the south of the house and then diagonally across the lower paddock area below the bank barn. The property was formerly owned by the League Against Cruel Sports and as such a restrictive covenant is placed over the freehold restricting any form of hunting or sporting rights over the property (See Agents for Details). There is also an overage clause on the potential development of the land covered on the second title (Details being obtained by the Agents but understood to have approx. 15/17 years remaining of the initial 25 year term)

After passing the recreational ground to the left, bear right and follow Andrews Hill to the top and continue along this road for approximately one and a half miles and Streamcombe Farm driveway will be found on the right hand side of the road by the bridge.
