Set within approximately 17 acres of carefully managed countryside near Bradworthy, South Worden Farm is a distinctive rural property offering a blend of character, versatility and environmental stewardship. The holding includes a historic Devon farmhouse, two holiday cottages, a purpose-built café,
extensive outbuildings and environmentally managed pasture, orchards and wildlife habitat.
The farmhouse combines rich heritage with modern comfort, with origins dating back to 1609. Constructed in the traditional Devon style with cob walls and lime render, the property retains its distinctive character while benefiting from excellent natural insulation.
Over time the house has been thoughtfully adapted and extended to suit contemporary living. Later additions include a welcoming entrance hallway, an additional principal bedroom with en-suite, and a modern kitchen and utility room.
The accommodation is further complemented by a living room, study, laundry room and plant room on the ground floor, with two further bedrooms, a family bathroom, additional study and walk-in wardrobe completing the first floor.
Modern infrastructure provides comfortable year-round living, including oil-fired central heating and a wood-burning stove forming a focal point within the main living area. The property also benefits from broadband connectivity suitable for home working.
The land extends to approximately 17 acres and has been carefully managed with a strong emphasis on environmental stewardship and biodiversity. Extensive planting of native trees and hedgerows has created an established landscape of pasture, orchards, ponds and natural habitat.
Beyond the farmhouse are two detached holiday cottages. The bungalow is an award-winning one-bedroom property with full wheelchair accessibility, including a wet room and accessible kitchen. The two-bedroom barn conversion sleeps four and regularly hosts walkers and visitors to the area.
At the end of the yard are three adjoining agricultural barns offering potential for a range of agricultural or commercial uses. Two are currently utilised for equipment storage and livestock shelter.
One of the barns has been converted to create The Hive, a purpose-built café space that has served visitors and the local community. The building provides a fully equipped hospitality area suitable for a café or restaurant, studio, workshop or small events space, subject to any necessary consents.
The land supports a wide range of wildlife and includes three ponds, productive gardens and established planting throughout the grounds. The gardens feature a collection of soft fruits including currants, gooseberries, medlar, quince and cherry trees, together with a rose garden containing over 70 varieties.
South Worden Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful rural property combining lifestyle appeal, income potential and carefully managed land within the attractive North Devon countryside.

About this agent
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.
