About the host
Hosted by Laura
I have always lived in the South Hams, firstly on my parent farm near Dartmouth and now with my husband on this family owned property. I work locally with adults with learning disabilities. I am very much an outdoors person and in my spare time enjoy my horses, chickens and dogs.
Why they chose this property
Higher Stancombe Farm was built by my husbands uncle who sadly had a tragic accident. The property was then passed to my Father-in-law, and luckily for us, we now have to opportunity to live here and call it home.
What makes this property unique
Higher Stancombe farm has no near neighbours and is about in the middle of the countryside as you can get. Situated on top of a hill you get unsurpassed views of the countryside looking out to see. We are situated in the heart of an AONB and have varied and beautiful countryside surrounding us. Just a short 10 min drive will take you into the heart of Kingsbridge, a pretty, rural town on the estuary, where you will find a thriving town centre full of lovely shops as well as 2 supermarkets and all modern conveniences.
