Nestled in an elevated position within the peaceful village of Combe Martin, just a (approx) 14 -minute stroll from the beach, The Firs is a beautifully cherished four-bedroom country home surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of North Devon’s Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and part of the UNESCO-designated North Devon Biosphere Reserve.

Set within approximately 1.15 acres of gently sloping grounds, this warm and welcoming home is rich with character and charm. Wisteria trails across the front of the house, a symbol of the home’s natural beauty and long-standing care. Every window frames a postcard-worthy view, whether it’s across the rolling paddock, the wild woodland, or towards the distant hills of Exmoor.

Inside, The Firs radiates comfort and style, with a modern country aesthetic. Light-filled yet cozy, the interiors include two inviting reception rooms with original features and a wood-burning stove perfect for relaxing after countryside walks. The heart of the home is the lovingly designed kitchen—a sociable, homely space with solid oak countertops, Ardosia slate tiles, custom cabinetry, and a traditional AGA. It’s where friends gather over coffee and family meals turn into memorable occasions.

Upstairs, the principal suite is a calm retreat, joined by three further well-proportioned bedrooms and two beautifully appointed bathrooms, including a spa-inspired wet room with a rainfall shower and further bathroom with a deep freestanding bath for long soaks.

Outside, nature takes centre stage. The gently sloped gardens are a delightful mix of formal planting, wild areas alive with pollinators, and practical space for sustainable living. There are well-maintained vegetable beds, five heritage apple trees, a peaceful woodland haven, and a paddock which is ideal for those dreaming of a smallholding or simply space to roam. Whether you’re nurturing a garden, keeping chickens, or watching the seasons change from your favourite bench, this is a place to slow down and reconnect with nature.

A sweeping resin driveway offers ample parking, while The Stables, a charming self-contained one-bedroom annexe, provides flexibility for holiday letting, extended family, or guest accommodation. Above the semi detached double garage, a light-filled studio offers the perfect creative or work-from-home space with inspiring rural views.

Warm, grounded, and full of heart, The Firs is not just a house, it’s a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a cherished home in one of North Devon’s most serene and spectacular settings.
