Seller Insight “The chance to purchase Higher North Coombe in rural Devon was one we could not resist.

To bring our children up in a beautiful valley in the countryside where there was no light, noise or air pollution was a fantastic opportunity.

Having the freedom to roam the woods, streams, paddocks and orchards, and observe the wildlife was an experience that will hopefully last a lifetime.

Being in the heart of Devon means we have enjoyed access to beaches on the north and south coasts and the moors, while being close to Exeter, the bright lights of city life are never far away.

The changing seasons and tranquillity of Higher North Coombe have afforded us a unique chapter in life whilst earning a living and upgrading the properties for future generations.

The stillness, peace and richness of the flora and fauna are only appreciated by being here. We have loved it.

* The History Historical records suggest that this site has been occupied since Saxon times.

Following the Norman Conquest, the land is thought to have been granted to Ralf de Pomaria, a Norman soldier who fought alongside William the Conqueror at the Battle of Hastings, becoming part of a larger estate established during that era.

With its blend of period charm, flexible accommodation and captivating outdoor spaces, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy an exceptional lifestyle in a setting defined by tranquillity, privacy, and timeless rural elegance.
