A wonderfully situated period farmhouse, an original hall house, Listed Grade II together with two-bedroom cottage enjoying outstanding views.

Mount Stephen Farm faces South and looks out over a wide expanse of farmland forming a patchwork through the Otter Valley with the ancient iron age fort site of Dumpdon Hill in the distance. Believed to date back to the early 17th century, Mount Stephen’s exhibits many period features, including inglenook fireplaces and ceiling beams, making the property worthy of its Grade II listing.

The entrance to the house leads in from a recessed porch, with a front door leading into the spacious entrance hall with boiler cupboard containing a newly installed Grant oil fired boiler and a cloakroom with wc and wash basin. A door leads through to the music room, which has a rear porch and door to the inner courtyard, useful understairs cupboard, and stairs leading up to the first-floor guest bedroom with open beams and an en-suite shower room. Returning to the hall, steps lead down to the dining room with wooden beams, a fireplace, mantlepiece and a wood burning stove (not in working order). Stairs lead up to the first floor, beside a shelved cupboard and a further door leads into the kitchen being well fitted with a range of wall and floor mounted cabinets, granite work surfaces, and a central island with cupboards below.
