Gees Farm House (Available End of March 2025)
The lovely farmhouse available to rent is just off a quiet lane in Sampford Spiney, minutes walk from a beautiful tor with far reaching views. The property has its own private access and a south facing courtyard garden. With three light and airy double bedrooms upstairs, it has a fitted kitchen and sitting room with a cosy woodburner downstairs, office and beautiful double height barn room.
The farmhouse would perfectly suit a family looking for a longer term tenancy, with preschool and primary aged children or younger. Young children living within our community are able to attend Tiny Wilds, our onsite yurt-based outdoor preschool, and Mighty Wilds, our home ed group run by a qualified primary school teacher. Children of other ages are obviously also welcome, but we do not have any learning facilities here for children older than 8, so they would need to attend a local school or be home-schooled. The cottage is available part or unfurnished.
Just 30 minutes from the nearest mainline city train station, 2 miles to a vibey cafe and pub with live music and great food and 4 miles from the nearest market town - with organic butchers, veg shop and deli, award winning cheese shop, health food shops, local fresh sustainably caught fish van, acclaimed restaurant and an array of cafes along with an eclectic indoor market – Dartmoor Living is perfectly poised between wilderness and civilisation.
Gees Farm House belongs to a courtyard of beautiful old buildings on one of the farms that is central to community life in Beden. It is close to our growing fields where the fruit cage, standard orchard and veg growing takes place.
