3 bedroom detached house

An attractive Residential Smallholding occupying an outstanding position comprising a traditional farmhouse (3 beds) now requiring complete renovation, adaptable outbuildings and pasture land. In all about 13.93 Acres.

Having been in the current families ownership for over 45 years, the sale of Down Farm represents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and unspoilt residential smallholding centred upon a traditional farmhouse affording well proportioned three bedroomed accommodation. Lovely views to the north coast and Hartland Point may be enjoyed from the house. Despite now requiring complete renovation, the unlisted house affords the potential to create a character country home with scope for further enlargement into an attached traditional barn, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent.

The property is complemented by a useful and adaptable range of farm buildings, formerly used for the housing and rearing of livestock. Also
included is a superb block of productive pasture land enjoying a gently sloping, south westerly aspect. Down Farm extends in total to about
13.93 Acres.

Down Farm enjoys an elevated semi-rural position, a short distance from the sought after village of Bratton Fleming, lying close to the
western edge of the Exmoor National Park. The village itself provides a thriving local community offering pre and primary schooling, post office facility, village shop, and parish church. A regular bus service is available to both Barnstaple and Lynton.

The North Devon town of Barnstaple is within easy driving distance affording an extensive range of commercial, educational and recreational facilities befitting those of an important regional and administrative centre. Public schooling is available at the renowned West Buckland School.

From South Molton and Barnstaple the A361 North Devon Link Road provides easy access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27) with mainline Intercity rail links available at Tiverton Parkway (London, Paddington approx. 2 hours) and international airports at Exeter and Bristol. The nearby Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, whilst to the west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The house is approached from the council road via a pedestrian gate which leads into a lawned front garden enclosed with laurel and beech
hedging. Adjoining the house to the southern side is a rendered and gi roofed lean-to Log Store, whilst a further lean-to adjoins the dwelling to the northern elevation.
