Thistledown Farm comes to the market following the vendor’s recent decision to retire from farming and affords prospective purchasers a rare opportunity to acquire a most versatile rural property package comprising a most attractive and adaptable residential and agricultural holding enjoying a delightful and yet readily accessible rural position. The property is centered upon a detached farmhouse, believed to date from the early 1990’s, erected subject to an agricultural occupancy condition, providing well proportioned four bedroomed family accommodation whilst enjoying delightful views over its own gardens and the beautiful surrounding Devon countryside. Conveniently situated to the west of the house, enjoying access directly from the main drive, is a useful range of adaptable modern farm buildings, well serviced by concrete yards and hard standing areas. The land associated with Thistledown Farm comprises an excellent block of productive pasture, with small pockets of amenity woodland on the periphery of the holding.
Thistledown Farm extends to about 127.65 Acres (51.66 Ha) and is offered for sale as a whole, or in two lots, as described within these sale particulars.

Accessed from the quiet council road over a shared private entrance track, Thistledown Farm occupies a convenient and readily accessible rural position lying between Tiverton and South Molton. The nearby sought after villages of Stoodleigh and Rackenford provide a good range of local amenities including a village hall, public house and parish church, with a primary school and village stores/post office also available at the latter.
Despite the secluded rural position the property is conveniently situated with the nearby A361(T) North Devon link route providing easy access to the bustling towns of Tiverton and South Molton, both affording a good range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities. The A361 also provides a quick link to the M5 (Junction 27), with mainline Intercity rail links available at Tiverton Parkway. International Airports are available at Exeter and Bristol.
The property lies in the beautiful band of countryside between the Exmoor and Dartmoor National Parks, a predominantly agricultural landscape primarily comprising pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of woodland and pretty river valleys. Exmoor to the north offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the North Devon coast is easily accessible with lovely sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The farmhouse is approached over a private drive leading off the main access track, providing car parking and access to the garage. The house is set in lovely large private gardens, with the bi-folding doors opening from the dining room onto a raised and paved patio enjoying lovely views to the east and with space for garden storage under. The patio wraps the house to the east, south and west elevations. Beyond lie large lawned gardens, enjoying a good degree of privacy and productively managed with various raised beds, fruit trees and shrubs. Two timber sheds lie to the west of the garden (the larger measuring approx. 7.26m x 3.89m), with a gi roof. The domestic oil tank is situated adjacent to this building.
