Owner profile
About the owner
My husband and I live with our two children (9 and 10), three dogs, one cat, ten chickens and 2 ducks. We run a green energy company from our office on the farm, developing anaerobic digesters and wind turbines. I am also a cookery writer and have written two cookery books.
We enjoy outdoor pursuits such as walking on the moors, riding, surfing and fishing, as well as swimming, tennis and skiing.
My children are very active and constantly on their bikes or on the trampoline.
My husband is a DIY demon which is fantastic around the house. I enjoy my garden although I am no expert. I tend to concentrate on my vegetable garden and we are lucky enough to have a wide selection of fruit trees on our property.
Year purchased: 2000
Why the owner chose a home in this location
My husband is North Devon born and bred although we met when he was working in London. His parents lived in the property before us and when they retired from the medical profession, we bought their house and they moved into the smaller barn conversion next door.
We are great walkers so living on Exmoor was ideal for us. The view from our property - looking over the moors - never tires for either of us and the changing seasons ensure there is always something to look at.
Although we are very local to the coastal attractions and the village of Combe Martin, and easily accessible to the North Devon link road and M5, we are situated in a very pretty and secluded hamlet, away from the busy summer crowds with little or no cars passing by.
Unique benefits of the property
I think the lodge has simply the best position on Exmoor, with a breathtaking view across the hills and valleys of the moor. With the rocky coast just a couple of miles away and the beautiful South West Coast Path winding its way along the cliffs, this is one of the most beautiful spots in the West Country.
