Parracombe, Barnstaple, South West England

About this house sitting position in Parracombe, Barnstaple

We live on a 50 acre rural conservation farm in Exmoor national park, with 2 Kune Kune pigs, sheep, chickens, ducks, geese, 2 guinea pigs and 5 Exmoor ponies outside. 6 cats and an 8 foot tank of tropical fish inside (fish tank requires a lot of input). 4 bedroom farmhouse with 2 reception, central heating, dishwasher, wood burner,. Quiet and isolated setting with wonderful views and wildlife. Access via steep, narrow drive. We have a holiday flat on site also. This is run by Sykes and no input required during our absence. Room to park a camper van if you prefer not to be in the main house. We need someone to feed and love the cats, maintain the fish tank safely and tend to the outside animals daily. Poultry are in a safe enclosure and are fed daily with change of water in buckets/ponds. Sheep live outside and are given ewe nuts each morning. Pigs have nuts and veggies twice a day and the Exmoor ponies will come to the gate for pony nuts, and hay when grass is in short supply. Guinea pigs need food/cleaning out/putting in their run if weather nice.
