Exmoor Farmers are delighted to be able to bring to the market an Exmoor Estate offering residential, commercial and investment opportunities in a beautiful and secluded private setting. The historic farmhouse and traditional buildings at Pickedstones, together with Thornmead Bungalow and buildings, are set within a total of 397 acres within the heart of the Exmoor National Park and are available as a whole or in up to 4 lots. The property is being offered for sale by Formal Tender, which closes on Friday 10 October (unless previously sold).

Lot 1 comprises Pickedstones Farmhouse, buildings and 108.5 acres of pasture, woodland and amenity land. The farmhouse occupies the site of a shepherd's cott built sometime during the Crown ownership of the forest. This building is probably still within the present house, which was then developed and expanded to provide accommodation for the miners of the Pickedstones' iron ore mine and upon closure of the mine it was adapted as a farmhouse. The farmhouse has recently been much modernised and now provides a comfortable family residence in an exceptional setting. There are three en-suite bedrooms with the principal accommodation located over three levels. The range of traditional buildings contain stables, loose boxes and a shippen with adjoining farm building.

Lot 2 comprises an adjoining parcel of 113.8 acres of productive pastureland that meets the River Barle at its southern boundary.

The third lot is the modern detached bungalow at Thornmead together with a set of modern farm buildings and 31.8 acres.

Lot 4 comprises a further block of productive pastureland, in total 142.96 acres with excellent road access and easily managed productive fields.

The property enjoys a private setting with direct access from a council 'no through road' and over a private drive, whilst being only approximately one mile from the main Simonsbath to Exford road. The property is therefore well placed for access both south east and west to major roads whilst also being situated within the magnificent landscape of the Exmoor National Park. There is direct access to moorland riding and the properties provide a wealth of opportunities whether it be residential, commercial, recreational or investment.
