A SECLUDED 185-acre farm in rolling countryside near Wiveliscombe has been put up for sale for £2.6 million.

Nutwell Farm, in the medieval parish of Raddington, between Wiveliscombe and Exmoor National Park, was described by estate agents Stags as ‘a rare find’.

A spokesman for Stags said the property had a private entrance lane ‘winding down through the farm’s own fields to the secluded house and buildings’.

It is being offered for sale in its entirety, or to be split into two lots.

The spokesman said: “In need of some updating, the house itself has a south-facing aspect and overlooks a range of ponds and pasture with potential for multi-generation living on one site provided by the ‘shoot lodge’, which was used as an annexe in the past, as well as the attached round-house.

“The former dairy is an attractive stone building and, alongside the modern farm buildings in the lower yard, may provide potential for conversion for a multitude of uses.

“There is also a higher yard which includes a modern agricultural workshop and storage to the rear.

“The land surrounds the house and buildings with its interesting topography having provided a perfect setting for a family and friends shoot in the past.

“The farmland includes some productive arable and pasture fields which have been used to grow cereal crops, and more sloping pasture used for grazing livestock.

“Nestled within its own valley, there are no footpaths or bridleways near to the house and buildings, but there are bridleways on the fringe of the farm offering beautiful hacking on your doorstep.”

A belt of mixed deciduous and coniferous woodland runs along the north-eastern boundary, with a stream flowing along the eastern boundary.

Private tracks and paths pass through the woodland, with the stream to one side, which also formed part of the shoot with cover crops grown above.
