Property description & features
LOT 2: Land at Gabber Farm – about 22.69 acres of level farmland in two good shaped fields. For sale by Public Auction in four lots on Wednesday 17th April 2024 at 7pm
Gabber Farm & Land at Paiges Farm, Down Thomas, Plymouth, Devon, PL9 0AW
A productive 201 acre farm with 7 bedroom farmhouse, range of traditional and modern farm buildings and productive farmland. For sale by Public Auction in four lots on Wednesday 17th April 2024 at 7pm.
SITUATION - Gabber Farm and the Land at Paiges sit flanking two sides of the pretty village of Down Thomas, in the beautiful and favoured South Hams, close to the coast at Plymouth Sound, and quite rightly designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The village has an excellent pub, village stores and Post Office although the much larger town of Plymstock is only 2½ miles away and the port city of Plymouth a further 3 miles. The main A38 dual carriageway is about 5 miles away and offers fast access toward Exeter and the M5 Motorway.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION, LOTTING & GUIDE PRICES - Gabber Farm and the Land at Paiges Farm have been farmed as a single holding for many years, until recently producing milk from a Holstein Friesian herd alongside growing arable crops. The farmstead includes a traditional farmhouse, that has been extended to provide additional accommodation, taking advantage of the thriving B&B trade in the near coastal setting.
The buildings comprise a mixture of traditional stone barns and more modern dairy and general-purpose farm buildings, which may be adapted to a number of different farming policies, but equally may offer potential for some form of residential development, subject to the normal planning process. More recently, some of the smaller buildings have been used for stabling and some of the land for horse grazing on a DIY basis.

Property information from this agent
Places of interest
Kivells can be traced back to 1885 when William Thomas Kivell set himself up in business as an auctioneer and land agent, first in Pyworthy and then in Holsworthy. What follows is an account of the Kivell family over four generations in the development of the firm of Kivells, from its origins as a one-man business in the late nineteenth century to its position today as one of the leading firms of Auctioneers, property agents and chartered surveyors in the West Country. William Kivell went on to grow the business and was joined by his sons forming Kivell and Sons, selling farm property and holding livestock auctions. Kivells is a very different firm from that founded by William Thomas Kivell in 1885, however the nature of the business and its ethics remain the same all be it with a much larger area of operation. The firm has recently became a limited company with one of the five directors being David Kivell, a great-grandson of William Kivell. It is organised around five divisions:- Agricultural sales and auctions (including the 3 livestock markets at Holsworthy, Hallworthy and Exeter and on farm sales throughout the Westcountry). Farm, Residential and Commercial Property (covering sales, auctions and lettings). Professional and Valuation work (including surveys, property management, rent reviews and full project management) Machinery and Heritage department (specialise in the sale of steam engines and all manner of vehicles, agricultural and domestic bygones). Kivells now operate from 5 main offices (Exeter, Holsworthy, Launceston, Liskeard and Bude) and 3 market centres (Holsworthy, Exeter and Hallworthy) and the firm employs around 170 full and part-time staff.

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
