Bray Mill, which comes to the market for the first time in over a hundred years, is centred upon a stone built farmhouse with two separate ranges of traditional farm buildings and 57 acres of attractive pasture and woodland. The property enjoys an enviable location within the pretty village of Brayford, close to the Exmoor National Park. A superb combination of pasture, woodland and extensive frontage to the River Bray may appeal to agricultural, equestrian or amenity interests. In addition, the farm buildings offer excellent potential for development subject to obtaining any necessary planning consents.
In total, the farm extends to 57.17 acres and is offered for sale by private treaty in up to 8 lots.

LOT 7 - 9.50 ACRES OF PASTURELAND
This comprises one enclosure of gently sloping pasture with direct road access. The boundary is currently open to the woodland of Lot 8 to the east. If Lot 7 and Lot 8 are sold separately it will be the responsibility of the purchaser of Lot 7 to erect and maintain a suitably stock proof boundary.
Please Note:- Lot 7 is sold subject to an overage. Please contact the agent for further details.

OUTGOINGS
The farmhouse is listed as Band D for Council Tax purposes.

SERVICES
The farmhouse has the benefit of mains electricity, mains water and mains drainage, with a domestic oil supply for the Rayburn Royal. The service history of the Rayburn can be supplied by the agent on request. There is currently no central heating.

The land is sold without mains services of any kind.

RIGHTS OF WAY
A public footpath crosses the eastern enclosure of Lot 5.

In a conveyance dating from 1919, we understand the Glebe retains a right of access over the north-easternmost corner of the enclosure comprising Lot 6.

FISHING RIGHTS
The fishing rights to the River Bray are included in the sale of Lot 6. We understand the fishing rights to the River Bray fronted by Lots 1, 2 and 8 are retained by the South Molton and District Angling Club.

TENURE
Freehold with vacant possession upon completion for the farmhouse.

GRASSKEEP AGREEMENTS
The agricultural land is sold subject to two Grazing Agreements that run until the year’s end, vacant possession being available on 1st January 2024.

For further details please contact the agent.

BASIC PAYMENT SCHEME
The farmland is registered to receive entitlement payments under the Basic Payment Scheme. BPS is due to end this year and Entitlements cannot be transferred after 15th May 2023. Therefore, no purchaser of the farmland can expect to receive entitlement payments under BPS in the future.

AGRI-ENVIRONMENT SCHEME
Excepting Lot 3, we understand that the pasture of all lots is subject to the terms of a Mid-Tier agreement (Ref. 1057117) under the Countryside Stewardship scheme. We understand that the land subject to the scheme is registered organic, although we have not had sight of any certification in this regard.

OVERAGE
It is the vendors’ intention to include an overage provision within the sale contract relating to Lot 4 and Lot 7. The finer details of the overage are to be confirmed, however they will dictate that a proportion of an uplift in value resulting from planning approval for residential development will be payable to the vendors (or their successors) within a specified period of time from the date of sale.

DESIGNATIONS
Though being a property of considerable history and enjoying a location immediately adjacent to Exmoor, the dwelling and buildings are not listed and all of the land lies outside of the National Park.

v.1.1- date produced 11.04.2023

The sought after village of Brayford provides a thriving rural community offering a primary school, village hall and High Bray Church, and in which Bray Mill has long formed an integral part. In the hundred years of the Prideaux and Huxtable families’ ownership of the farm, it has been used for dairy and sheep production while the River Bray powered the sawmill as recently as the 1950’s. Brayford is close to Exmoor National Park and surrounded by picturesque countryside that provides a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, and cycling. Swimming, den building and the village duck race have been enjoyed on the holding for many years.

Situated between the towns of South Molton and Barnstaple, the property is around 5 miles north of the A361 North Devon link road, providing good access to the wider highway network.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
