Goodleigh Farmhouse enjoys a peaceful, elevated position within the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, known for its excellent riding and countryside walks. Despite the rural setting, the property is easily accessible, just three miles from Hemyock with local amenities including a post office, pub and primary school. Honiton and Wellington are both around eight miles away, offering a broader range of facilities and access to the M5 and rail links to London. The property also falls within the sought after Uffculme School catchment.

Occupying an elevated position with magnificent views across the valley, this beautifully presented detached farmhouse is ideal for equestrian use, with a range of outbuildings, stabling and a well-positioned arena. The property offers over 13 acres of land and a flexible layout with considerable character and charm throughout.

The light filled accommodation extends to five double bedrooms, including two with en suite bathrooms, a family bathroom and two additional loft rooms. The ground floor features a spacious kitchen and breakfast room that opens into a sitting room and sun room, each designed to make the most of the glorious aspect. Two further reception rooms, a study, utility and cloakroom complete the living space.

Set in just over 13.5 acres, Goodleigh Farmhouse is a superb equestrian property with extensive facilities. A secure yard houses an American style barn with six loose boxes, tack room and hay storage along with adjacent barns for storage and vehicle housing. The land is divided into well-fenced paddocks with direct access to a sand school, and a separate gated entrance leads to additional barns and hardstanding suitable for horse lorries or trailers. The layout, scale and setting make this an ideal choice for private equestrian use or a small-scale livery operation.

The gardens are a particular highlight, beautifully maintained and planted with a wide variety of mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous borders. Sweeping lawns surround the house, interspersed with sheltered seating areas, a wildlife pond, greenhouse, garden shed and raised vegetable beds. The combination of practical infrastructure and idyllic setting makes this a superb lifestyle property for equestrian buyers.

There is good range of schooling options locally for families. For state schools, the property is within Culmstock Primary School and Uffculme School's catchment area. For independent schooling, Blundells, Wellington and Taunton Schools are within easy reach along with a range of independent schools in Exeter.
