Colihole Farm is a fantastic period property with land inside the Dartmoor National Park in Devon. The house is a charming Grade II listed farmhouse which dates back further than 500 years and started out as a Dartmoor Longhouse. The property is made of granite stone with a thatched roof, and has some interesting period features inside including a vast granite fireplace and a side bread oven, and there are a number of 17th century A-frame trusses and exposed beams and timbers throughout.
The accommodation is laid out over two floors and has a hall, drawing room, dining room, sitting room, study, farmhouse kitchen, four bedrooms and two bathrooms as well as an annexe with a fifth bedroom and a third bedroom.
The house also comes with one-bedroom Middle Barn Cottage, and Upper Barn Cottage which also provides further one-bedroom accommodation. In addition, the farm has an attractive range of barns and stabling including loose boxes, a workshop, store rooms and a car port. There is a fully-netted hard tennis court outside and a landscaped garden with two ponds. The gardens lie principally to the south east and north east of the property and consist of a mixture of la wned areas, two ponds, flowering shrubs, roses and honeysuckle. There are two butter wells within the grounds which are mentioned in the listing.
To the south of the property is a fruit cage, a timber chicken shed and a timber-frame greenhouse. The property also has a number of paddocks and fields which make up the 24 acres which come with the house.
Colihole is situated just two miles from Chagford, in the Dartmoor National Park, and enjoys fabulous views out over the countryside to Meldon Hill, and offers excellent opportunities for both walking and riding. Chagford provides local amenities and for further requirements Exeter is just 18 miles away and the airport just 25 miles from the house.
