Description:

A peacefully situated self-catering complex and smallholding in an ideal location bordering the Exmoor National Park and close to the North Devon coast. Period farmhouse with six 4* rated holiday cottages. Games room, play barn, tennis court and children's playing field. General purpose farm buildings. Pasture land. 16.77 acres.

SITUATION AND AMENITIES
Yetland Farm is situated in a peaceful and secluded setting within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. It is surrounded by unspoilt countryside and from the properties top field there are magnificent views north over the Bristol Channel with the coast of Wales visible on a clear day. It stands on high ground above the seaside village of Combe Martin, about 1.1 miles from the nearest pub, 2 miles from the nearest local shop and 3 miles from the beach, the village having one of the longest streets in the country.

The delightful village of Berrynarbor is also about 2 miles away and the coastal town of Ilfracombe, offering more extensive facilities including a supermarket and secondary schooling, is about 6 miles away. The commercial centre of Barnstaple is about 10 miles away and from here there is access to the A361 North Devon Link Road, which connects with the M5 at Junction 27.

The rugged North Devon Coastline, much of it owned and managed by The National Trust, lies about 3 miles away providing wonderful opportunities for long distance walking along the South West Coast Path. Inland from the property lies the open spaces of the Exmoor National Park with its many beauty spots and opportunities for walking and riding. About 9 miles to the west lies the coastal resort of Woolacombe and, further south Putsborough, Croyde and Saunton Sands, all renowned for their beaches and excellent surfing. There are many sporting facilities in the area including a number of well-known golf courses and the property is easily accessible to many popular tourist attractions.
DESCRIPTION
Yetland farm is believed to date from the late 18th Century and the farmhouse, which is not listed, is of traditional stone and rendered construction under a slate roof. It provides a substantial 5 bedroom family home with a southerly outlook over its own land. The windows are double-glazed and there is LPG central heating. The house stands to one side of the six holiday cottages which are converted from the former farm buildings and are arranged around a central courtyard.

Facilities for guests include a hard tennis court, large childrens playing field, a games room adjoining the house and a separate play barn. The current owners operate as a small working farm, keeping a flock of sheep, pigs and poultry which forms an attractive environment for visitors and encourages repeat bookings. The attractive block of pasture land, which is equally suitable for anyone wishing to keep horses, lies around the farmhouse and cottages, ensuring privacy and providing a vantage point from which the superb views over the coast and hills of Exmoor can be fully appreciated.
