Stunning Grade 2* farmhouse on the southern fringe of Exmoor
Description
Dunsley Farm is a wonderful mixed residential farm in a sought after location that last came to the market some 75 years ago. At its centre is a fascinating Grade II* Listed Farmhouse that enjoys an elevated south facing aspect with fabulous views. There are pretty collection of traditional buildings within the farmstead which have potential for a variety of alternative uses (subject to planning) together with a useful range of adaptable modern farm buildings, agricultural land, woodland and ponds.
Dunsley Farmhouse is an excellent example of a multiphase farmhouse dating from the C16 with the lower end largely re-modelled and extended circa 1700, and with C20 alterations. The stature of this farmhouse is signified by the quality and richness of its interior detail. The farmhouse is currently informally divided into two but would make a fabulous family home if reinstated as one.
Outside; there is a well stocked partly walled garden to the south and a kitchen garden area to the rear. Reflecting the site’s agricultural heritage, the farmstead features a collection of traditional farm buildings constructed of stone and cob under mainly slate roofs which offer opportunities for alternative uses (subject to planning).
The land which forms Lot 1 extends to approximately 18.28 acres, set within a picturesque rural landscape. The land comprises a combination of gently sloping, predominantly south-facing and some level pasture. There is also an area of woodland with a number of ponds.
Location
Dunsley Farm occupies a stunning, peaceful location just south of Exmoor National Park, an area renowned for some of the country’s finest countryside. The farm lies close to the small village of West Anstey which has a parish church and a close-knit local community. East Anstey village is just 1mile away and has a popular primary school (ofsted report 2024 ‘good’) and parish church. Dulverton, just 5 miles north east of Dunsley Farm and known as the gateway to Exmoor is a bustling town with a church, speciality shops, pubs, restaurants, butchers and a small supermarket. The popular towns of South Molton (11 miles) and Tiverton (15 miles) both provide a full range of amenities including supermarkets, primary and secondary schooling and medical services. Private schooling opportunities are well catered for with West Buckland School within 17 miles and Blundells School 15.5 miles.
Communications are good with easy road access (5.5 miles) to the A361 North Devon Link Road providing a fast route to the popular beaches of North Devon. The A361 also connects to the M5 at Junction 27 and intercity trains depart regularly from Tiverton Parkway. Both Bristol and Exeter International airports are within convenient reach. For walkers and riders there is an extensive network of public footpaths and bridleways locally which give access to East Anstey Common and the wide open spaces of Exmoor.
