A fabulous lifestyle farm in the favoured Teign Valley centred around an attractive Grade II listed farmhouse.
Description
Positioned at the end of a private drive, Reed Farm enjoys a highly tranquil and elevated setting with splendid views across the Teign Valley to Haldon Belvedere. The Grade II listed farmhouse is surrounded by traditional outbuildings pasture, and woodland, extending to a little over 97 acres in total. The property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial rural holding in one of Devon’s most desirable and unspoilt locations and has not been on the market for over 55 years.
A highly attractive collection of outbuildings, including rustic traditional barns, three stables, additional storage structures and a kitchen garden, provide scope for a variety of uses (subject to obtaining necessary planning consent).
In all, Reed Farm extends to 97.14 acres and is being offered as a whole or in 3 lots as follows:
Lot 1:
Reed Farmhouse, traditional and modern outbuildings with approximately 8.31 acres Reed Farm is a quintessential late medieval farmhouse constructed of rendered cob on stone footings under a slate roof. The farmhouse was altered in the 1970s whilst retaining many of the historic features. In 2019 planning and listed building consent was granted to replace the windows, replace the existing kitchen with a new extension and reconfigure the existing layout. The windows were replaced under this consent. Further details of the planning & listed building consent are available by following this link Planning Reference numbers 0440/19 & 0146/19
Outbuildings & Land: There are a range of outbuildings offering excellent versatility for agricultural, storage, workshop purposes with potential (STP) for change of use.
The fields surrounding Reed Farmhouse offer privacy and protection and have been used in the past for grazing and leisure and are equally well suited for conservation use.
Lot 2:
Pasture and woodland with road access. Approximately 78.21 acres Lot 2 comprises a combination of pasture and woodland bordered by a council maintained road to the south. This road leads from the farm to the three reservoirs (Kennick, Tottiford and Trenchford) one of which includes trout fishing. The land is divided into well-defined and useful field sizes with mature hedgerows. The land has been used purely for agricultural use, predominantly for the grazing of livestock. The combination of pasture and woodland across various terrain creates an environment suited to a rich biodiversity and offers potential for conservation, rewilding, or sustainable land management initiatives.
Lot 3:
Approximately 10.62 acres Lot 3 comprises two well-maintained enclosures down to pasture land, both with direct road access. The land is bordered by forestry and mature woodland and is well suited to agriculture, conservation or purely amenity use.
Location
Reed Farm is situated in the most idyllic of settings tucked away within the stunning Teign Valley. The secluded yet conveniently situated farm is within easy access of local amenities. The picturesque village of Christow (0.8 miles to the north) has a vibrant local community including a village shop, tennis club, community hall, primary school, doctors surgery and a village pub. Dunsford and Chudleigh each 5 miles away have the nearest post offices and there is a golf course close by. The village lies just inside the boundary of the Dartmoor National Park, an area renowned for some of the most stunning countryside in England and provides endless opportunities to participate in a range of outdoor pursuits including walking, riding, cycling and fishing. Dartmoor National Park extends to 368 square miles and is a landscape of stunning views, awe inspiring granite tors, deep wooded valleys and fast flowing rivers including the river Teign which runs from Dartmoor to Teignmouth, only half a mile away.
Approximately 10 miles north east of Reed Farm is the thriving Cathedral City of Exeter providing the full complement of retail, business and recreational facilities. There is also a excellent range of both private and state schooling in Exeter.
The property is well serviced with communication links being just 4 miles from the A38 at Chudleigh, which links easily to the M5 at Exeter, and 9 miles to the A30 linking to Cornwall. Exeter and Newton Abbot offer a mainline railway station with hourly trains to London and Exeter International Airport is 30 minutes from the farm.
