The sale of Whiddon Farm represents a rare opportunity to purchase a farm in a superb rural
area offering about 356.72 acres of arable and stock land

Whiddon Farmhouse is a well-presented house, believed to have been built in the 16th century and retains a number of interesting architectural features. The house is not listed and is situated in a very private, peaceful location overlooking the gently rolling land,
accessed from its own entrance drive and parking and turning area.

The house is constructed of part brick, part stone with rendered elevations enhanced by climbing roses under a tiled roof with
brick chimneys.

A heavy studded timber front door leads into the entrance hall where a door opens into the dining room, an elegant room with sash windows overlooking the land and an open fireplace. Double doors open into the sitting room, which has some superb ornate Italian plasterwork to the ceiling, depicting flowers, acorns and pine cones. On the walls are plasterwork putti with palm fronds, very popular with the Italian school of artists. There is timber
panelling to two walls and an open fireplace.

Also on the ground floor is a kitchen/breakfast room with a range of units, plumbing and space for a dishwasher and a Rayburn twooven
oil-fired cooker. A door from the kitchen leads to the secondary staircase and also to the rear entrance porch, with access to the utility room, which has a Belfast-style sink and space and
plumbing for a washing machine.

Accessed from the inner hall is a staircase to the first floor and a rear lobby with a cloakroom and a ground floor shower room, which has a door to outside and access via a pathway to the swimming pool area.

On the first floor is a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom, four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. A number of the bedrooms enjoy glorious views over the land.
