A
stunningly positioned 270 acre working farm in the Exmoor National
Park with
outstanding southerly views over the Devon countryside.
The farmhouse has just been refurbished with love and care retaining
some
of the original features but including the comforts of the 21st
century.
Our
family farm is surrounded by some of the finest Exmoor countryside
where walking,
riding, fishing, shooting and exploring can become a pleasure
to enjoy.
This can be arranged prior to your visit if required.
The Doone Valley, Lynton and Lynmouth, the market towns of Barnstaple
and South Molton,
the picturesque North Devon coastline and sandy beaches are close
by.
There are many excellent local pubs nearby for a quiet drink or
a meal.

The
period farmhouse dates back to Roman times and the
word 'Ball' is the Roman for 'Round Hill'. The old race course
ground used for chariot races
is still on the farm. We are on the old Roman road to North Molton
Hill and were the first
settlement on the S.W. side of ExmoorNational Park.
