A beautiful and highly versatile character residence situated in a tucked away position within Exmoor National Park, with a range of outbuildings and about 10.4 acres.
Location - Situated in a quiet, tucked away position on the western fringes of Exmoor is this highly versatile country residence. Exmoor National Park is famous for its undulating moors and pastureland, with streams and rivers running down through deep wooded combes and valleys to the spectacular cliffs along the North Devon coastline. There are outstanding opportunities for walking and cycling, with an abundance of wildlife and nature and breath-taking scenery to be enjoyed.
As well as world class countryside surrounding the property, there is also easy access to the North Devon coastline which, in 2022, was selected as a ‘World Surfing Reserve’ (WSR) – the first in the UK and only cold-water WSR in the world. Combe Martin is around 6.5 miles away, with further very popular sandy beaches at Woolacombe, Putsborough, Saunton and Croyde a little further afield.
The nearest village is Parracombe which is around 2.3 miles away, which benefits from a public house and community shop. The closeby villages of Lynton and Lynmouth are connected via a cliff railway and affectionately known as “Little Switzerland”, with both offering a good range of local amenities.
A further more comprehensive range of amenities are available at Ilfracombe including a supermarket, farmer’s market, theatre, restaurants and shops, whilst the regional centre of Barnstaple houses all the area’s main business, commercial, retail and leisure venues; both are located around 14 miles from the property.
Communications - The area can be accessed from Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway, and along the A361 North Devon Link Road which leads onto the A39 Atlantic Highway. The nearest train station is located at the regional centre of Barnstaple, which connects to Exeter where there are regular mainline rail services to London (Paddington) in just over 2 hours. Alternatively, Tiverton Parkway Mainline Railway Station is just over an hour’s drive, which connects to London and beyond.
Mileages (approx)
Parracombe Village – 2.3 miles
Combe Martin – 6.5 miles
Lynton/Lynmouth - 7.5 miles
Woolcombe – 16.5 miles
Barnstaple – 14 miles
Ilfracombe – 14.5 miles
The Property - This is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a beautifully presented character residence, situated in a private, yet accessible location within Exmoor National Park. The property stands towards the end of a no through road, enjoying easy access to the village of Parracombe, as well as the spectacular coastline.
Heale Moor Farm offers fantastic accommodation that has been the subject of sympathetic refurbishment and extension by the current vendors, and retains a wealth of character features, whilst offering flexible accommodation that could suit a variety of purposes, including a home with an annexe or holiday cottage providing an income.
At present, the accommodation is arranged as a four bedroom main house and a self-contained studio annexe, but could easily be adapted back into one larger residence, if required.
The property is equally as impressive outside, with two good sized outbuildings offering potential for a variety of uses (STPP). One of the outbuildings benefits from ancillary use and is currently used as an office, gym, workshop and store. The gardens and grounds are delightful and enjoy a private and sunny south facing aspect, and in all, the property benefits from 10.4 acres, as well as grazing rights on the adjacent moor (Heale Moor) which equates to a further 17.6 acres (this is also shared with three other properties).
Properties of this calibre and potential very rarely become available to the open market and the agents have no hesitation in recommending a full internal inspection. Heale Moor Farm also has the added advantage of being offered for sale with no-ongoing chain.
The accommodation, with approximate dimensions more clearly identified on the accompanying floorplans, comprises:
Front door leads to:
Entrance Hall - Slate flooring. Window to the side elevation overlooking the garden with exposed lintel. French doors lead to:
Dining Room - Slate flooring. Window to the front elevation overlooking the gardens. Electric Aga in chimney recess with exposed brickwork and lintel. Opens to:
Kitchen - A beautiful dual aspect room with vaulted ceiling and gable end window, exposed beams and French doors allowing access to the garden and terrace. The kitchen comprises a range of matching wall and base units with Belfast sink set into slate work surfaces, central island unit with a breakfast bar and a range of integrated appliances including microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Space for a range style cooker with extractor over (available by separate negotiation). Slate flooring.
Sitting Room - Window overlooking the side elevation with a window seat. Wood burning stove set into a chimney recess with slate hearth and exposed lintel. Stairs rise to the first floor landing. There is also access from here into the studio annexe.

Outside - The property is approached through a five bar gate and over a driveway leading to an extensive area of off-road parking, with an orchard and greenhouse to the right. This area has ample space for boats, caravans etc., as well as an additional vehicular access back onto the lane.
There is a two-storey detached agricultural building that currently benefits from ancillary use (we understand that this can be used for residential use, but can not be slept in) and this is utilised by the current vendors for storage and as workshop on the ground floor, with an office and gym on the first floor. There is power and light connected, and potential for a variety of alternative uses (STPP).
Opposite this is a further detached single storey agricultural building that provides excellent storage and could suit a variety of purposes (STPP) including stabling. From the parking area and the back of this building, there is access into the property’s paddocks.
From the parking area, a pedestrian gate gives access to the garden and farmhouse which enjoys a private and secluded aspect and is a real sun trap. Adjacent to the farmhouse, there is a two-tiered terrace which is the perfect place for alfresco dining and relaxing. The gardens are laid to lawn with flowerbeds and borders housing a mixture of mature plants, trees and shrubs. There is also a rockery with a water feature and pond.
The property benefits from 10.4 acres in total, as well as grazing rights on the adjacent Heale Moor which is a further 17.6 acres shared between three properties.
