Windhover Farm, TA3

Windhover Farm is a picturesque example of halcyon English countryside. At its heart is an 18th-century farmhouse offering sweeping views over rolling hills and newly planted vineyards. Behind its graceful grey facade, the interiors retain a timeless historical charm. Scattered among wildflower meadows and orchards, additional period buildings enhance the estate’s quintessential rural character. The 19th-century farmyard remains beautifully preserved, featuring a large hay barn, an original cider press, and other authentic structures that capture the essence of a bygone era. Adding to its appeal, a serene swimming lake, complete with a rowing boat and jetty, provides a tranquil setting. With its diverse landscapes and elegant historic buildings, Windhover Farm offers an idyllic, arcadian backdrop for filming and photoshoots.
