The western most boundary comprises part of the former Barnstaple to Lynton narrow gauge railway line, which was eventually closed in 1935. Of equal interest, the property was owned and occupied during the war years by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, members of the film producing team 'The Archers', famous at the time for 'The Spy in Black' and later for many films including 'The Red Shoes' and 'The Battle of the River Plate'. During that time, they entertained many of the stars of the films including, it is understood, Deborah Kerr before she moved to Hollywood.A more detailed description of the famous connections of the property is available for interested parties from the agents upon request.The Property - Quarry House comprises a substantial, mainly Victorian residence, which stands in an elevated position, with all principal rooms enjoying a delightful westerly outlook over the valley and surrounding countryside. The property offers spacious and versatile accommodation, with a wealth of period features, and currently boasts five reception rooms, five bedrooms and three bath/shower rooms. The main drawing room is a particularly wonderful feature of the property, having originally been built to house an organ, and has been designed to offer excellent acoustics with domed ceilings. The property was re-roofed in 2008. Although one or two features might benefit from refurbishment, it offers a prospective buyer the chance to acquire a superb family home. Surrounding the property is a good sized sunny terrace that enjoys the fabulous views on offer across the valley, with the countryside beyond, and is the perfect place for al-fresco dining and entertaining. The gardens and grounds extend to around 2.45 acres and consist of wonderful steep woodlands dissected by interconnecting pathways. There is also a former quarry, tennis court, vegetable garden and lawned sections, as well as a dilapidated garage. Properties of this calibre and location very rarely become available to the open market, and the agents have no hesitation in recommending a viewing.The accommodation, with approximate dimensions more clearly identified on the accompanying floorplans, comprises:Front door leads to:Entrance Hall - Stairs lead to the first floor landing.

There is a superb terrace which spans the length of the property, which enjoys a beautiful private and sunny aspect, with breath-taking valley views,where you can sit amongst the canopy of the trees and overlook the countryside beyond. There are various intertwining pathways that connect the steep wooded section and meander through the land.

Beyond the tennis court is a vegetable garden with some fruit trees. To the south of the house is a further area of garden with a greenhouse, lawned section and dilapidated garage which also has separate access onto the lane.
