Discover the Devon farmhouse with an aircraft runway

This stunning country pile offers the perfect antidote to tiresome airport queues as prospective jet-setting buyers can fly direct from their own back garden.

That’s because this sprawling six-bedroom farmhouse, wedged between Exmoor and Dartmoor National parks, boasts its very own aircraft hangar and 300m runway.

The secluded £1.75m estate of Woodscombe Farm, a small holding situated in 58 acres of rolling green fields, has a 28-day annual license that allows certain light aircraft to use its air strip.

The beautiful Devon property has been extensively refurbished, benefitting from rustic home comforts such as a log burning stove, exposed brick and heavy wooden beams lining the ceilings.

But outside is where this property really sets itself apart.

There are two large ponds to the side of the main house, currently home to a friendly family of ducks.

Delving further into the grounds are inter-linking modern farm buildings, which are being used as stables and cattle barns in their current guises.

The unspoiled land at Woodscombe Farm is diverse, with small areas of woodland punctuated by an abundance of wildlife areas of wetter ground and rough grazing adjoining the River Dalch.

Some of the land has previously been used for growing crops and the former owners hosted private clay shoots. Most of the land is currently let out for grazing.

The property is listed for sale with Seddons.
