Lower Widdicombe Farm

About this property

… Lower Widdicombe Farm is a working farm at the end of ½ mile of private drive, surrounded by its own 280 acres of verdant farmland. It’s a mile inland from the sea, between the coastal villages of Torcross and Beesands (2 road miles from each). Footpaths crisscross the land, leading to the Coast Path and the shingle beach at Beesands (½ mile). 

The drive sweeps down past old farm buildings to a large courtyard, open garage and this 19th century former farmhouse. The house, with sea glimpses from all front-facing windows, has been brought bang-up-to-date with careful and thoughtful renovation and furnished with flair to create a unique, stylish and spacious home. 

To the front of the house, a south-facing terrace (picnic tables) with seaward views over rolling farmland, perfect for sundowners. Steps lead to a rough sloping lawn beyond for running free and ball kicking. 

Front door to slate-floored hall. Cosy, peaceful living room (woodburner) with seating for 8 and TV/DVD.  At the heart of the house, generous farmhouse kitchen/dining room with French windows to the terrace: to one end, a bespoke oak table/benches, woodburner and snuggle chairs and, at the other, a beautiful hand-built kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, electric range oven/induction hob, drinks fridge, double sink). 

Behind the kitchen, a large, bright boot room (fridge-freezer, original well) with stable doors and original slate floor, the place to ditch walking boots, coats and soggy dogs. Up 14 stone steps, large games room (table tennis, table football, TV/DVD) with sofas.
