Hembercombe Farm, the home of Alison and Steve Chipperfield, is a 17th century farmhouse set in the Blackdown Hills area of Devon in the south-west of the UK.

It is an area of wooded valleys (combes), rolling hills and ancient woodlands. The verdant countryside is mainly used for dairy and sheep farming. The local village, Broadhembury, is a medieval gem where the 16th– 17th century houses are thatched, with oak structures and cob (adobe) walls. There are no street lights or pavements.
