INTRODUCTION
Dinnabroad Farm provides a most unique, private and stunningly positioned property. The farm was the long-term home of Bill and Margaret Adcock, some of the last true characters on this section of coast. Being traditional and in somewhat of a time-warp, the farmhouse was chosen as the setting of Aunt Joan’s house in the Doc Martin television series, with regular filming both inside and out: the perfect combination of a traditional working farmhouse, set in a picturesque location, and only a short distance to Port Isaac.
We welcome you to Dinnabroad Farm, where anyone who views the property will very quickly appreciate what a very special place it is.

THE LAND
Extending to some 140.50 acres (56.84 hectares) in all, the land at Dinnabroad Farm comprises a ring fenced block of mainly pasture land, with a level ridge of fields in the middle, flanked by steeper sloping valleys to streams on both the northern and southern boundary.
Accessed from the entrance lane and yard, the land lies to the north-west of the farmstead and is divided into useful sized enclosures which have traditional Cornish hedge bank boundaries.
Predominantly used for livestock grazing or for cutting, some fields have historically been ploughed for arable cropping, most having spectacular sea views. The valleys offer a rich and diverse natural habitat for an abundance of flora and fauna
The South West Coast Path runs through the western end of the farm, and is the only footpath registered on the property.
