FLOOR PLANS

The plan is for illustrative purposes only and should be used as such by any prospective purchaser.

THE FARMHOUSE

This is a very original property which has not been on the market for three generations and is in need of improvement being sold on behalf of a deceased's estate. The accommodation is laid out in a traditional style with one room leading through to the other centered around a hallway and staircase. To the rear of the property are two very old stone extensions which would lend themselves to vastly increase the ground floor area if desired. The 5 Bedrooms on the first floor are served by a corridor running along the back of the property. The property faces South and is approached over its own private level driveway from the adjacent quiet country lane.

THE OUTBUILDINGS

These are divided into two sections the first adjoining the main farmhouse on itsWestern end with a floor area of around 70m2. The second block is the remains of what perhaps was a courtyard comprising two adjoining stne buldings forming an L shape with a floor area of around 140m2. These buildings clearly offer potential for for change of use subject to approval from the local planning authority.

THE LAND (edged in red)

The property is being sold with approx 36 Acres of adjacent Pasture which completely surrounds the property being made up of level or gently sloping pasture land bordered by Devon Banks dropping away to the North with a small number of mature deciduous trees. There is a small spring in the valley below which supplies natural water to the enclosures. There are lovely views from the land and the whole area is made up of unspoilt rural Devon countryside.

ADDITIONAL LAND AVAILABLE BY SEPERATE NEGOTIATION

Adjoining the Western boundary is a further block of 24 ac of Agricultural pasture land which runs down to a stream boundary below and is made up of a series of enclosures bordered by Devon Banks.
