Property description

BEAUTIFULLY PRESENTED four bedroom farmhouse with further ONE BEDROOM COTTAGE, ideal for annexed accommodation or for holiday let. Set at the end of a LONG TRACK IN A QUIET PRIVATE SETTING and within its own grounds of just under 13 acres, with a mixture of pasture, two orchards, lake, willow coppice and woodland. The site has been organically farmed, for the last 14 years and the current owners have done everything they can to maximise the natural habitat to encourage wildlife where possible.

.
There are a wide range of outbuildings, including a detached cob barn, which again, subject to the necessary planning consents could possibly provide a further holiday let, currently it is utilised as a workshop and for storage. Beyond this is a more substantial, modernised building, which has in the past been used as a successful cider and apple pressing business.The adjoining cottage is currently used as a holiday cottage by the current Vendors and generates around £12-13,000 per annum. The orchards are made up of a wide variety of apples, including many historic West Country types. As the orchard continues to mature, the profits are likely to increase significantly allowing for additional revenue either to sell the crop or retain and utilise oneself. The Farmhouse and Cottage have been tastefully modernised and renovated by the current owners and provide a charming family home conveniently located on the cusp of West and North Devon with easy access to the North Coast, Holsworthy, Launceston and Okehampton. The A30 dual carriageway is approximately 20 - 25 minutes drive away and provides an easy road link to Exeter and the M5 intersection where there is a combination of additional road, rail and air links. An express bus service to Exeter can be boarded at the nearby Halwill Junction (the X9).
