A superb opportunity to purchase a working farm (aoc) on the edge of this pretty Mid-Devon village with 62.5 acres of farmland, plus an agricultural barn with great potential to be converted into a residential dwelling (STP).

DESCRIPTION

West Foldhay is a beautifully positioned farm, found on the edge of this pretty Mid-Devon village and enjoying wonderful views out over its own fields and woodland. In total the farm extends to 62.5 acres, which surrounds the house, with a large agricultural barn also offering great potential to be developed into a further residential dwelling (subject to permissions).

SITUATION : 8 miles to the West of Crediton with its vibrant selection of shops, café’s, restaurants, leisure centre/swimming pool and supermarkets with the cathedral city of Exeter a further 8 miles away.

The farm is being sold as a whole, or in five lots.

LOT 1 : THE FARMHOUSE was built by the current owners in 1981 and comes to the market for the first time as the vendor approaches retirement. The three bedroom detached house faces south and enjoys two reception rooms, a kitchen and utility room, plus a downstairs WC. There is also an attached garage with ample parking in front. The house is subject to an agricultural occupancy clause (aoc) and hasn’t changed much in the last 35 years and so would be improved by some modernisation.

The pretty gardens wrap around the farmhouse with areas of lawn, vegetable plots and numerous fruit trees growing.

SERVICES: Mains water, drainage is via a septic tank, gas is via Calor bottles.

LOT 2: THE AGRICULTURAL BARNS - The larger of the two 99' 7'' x 60' 8'' (30.36m x 18.48m) is currently used for a variety of uses.

Initial investigations with a planning consultant have revealed that the barn would make an ideal conversion to residential via the Permitted Development Prior Notification process.  The Lot is available with 1.72 acres of land.
