History

The front part of the house is Victorian and the rear is Georgian. It is believed that there has been a farmhouse on this site for over 1000 years.

100 years ago magnetite iron ore mining took place on Smallacombe land near the hamlet of Trumpeter and the pretty woodland SSSI at Smallacombe Cutting is all that remains of this activity.

Out Buildings

Orchard

Containing some old apple, pear and plum trees. Has a natural brook to the north east boundary and a water leat running near the west boundary. This leat is an old mill leat and is at a higher level than the house so has potential as a non drinking water supply / small scale power generator.
