Land For Sale £840,000
An attractive residential farm (former dairy) with a pretty 4 bedroom farmhouse listed Grade II* now requiring modernisation. Range of flexible traditional and modern farm buildings with potential (STPP). Excellent block of productive arable/pastureland. In all 18.34 acres (7.42 ha). Lot One of Halls Farm for sale by private treaty as a whole or in two lots.
Halls Farm is set in a convenient yet rural location in the Otter Valley close to the sought-after village of West Hill just outside the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. West Hill is a thriving community with a village store, church, village hall and primary school. The historic town of Ottery St Mary with its magnificent church has a good selection of everyday amenities including a range of independent shops, supermarket and medical centre. Whilst the nearby Regency
resort of Sidmouth, is located on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and has excellent opportunities for coastal walking, fishing and swimming. The town is well served with a further range of shopping and leisure facilities, including a Waitrose, cinema and a variety of sports facilities. Whilst surrounded by beautiful countryside the communication links to the area are excellent, the A30 is within two miles providing access to the Cathedral City of Exeter and Exeter Airport, the M5, and the A303.
The Property
Halls Farm has been in the ownership of the current vendors’ family for three generations since 1933. The pretty, south facing Grade II* listed farmhouse dates back to at least the
early 17th century, with some later alterations, including the rear single storey dairy. Principally constructed of cob and brick with rendered elevations under a thatched roof, the farmhouse is now in need of modernisation. There are many
original period features including massive beams, original fireplaces and a curved stairwell. There is the opportunity for the new owners to reconfigure the farmhouse’s current accommodation or extend into the courtyard behind. This would suit a variety of buyers looking for barns to convert into holiday accommodation or for multi-generational living
(STPP).
Please see floorplan for accommodation and measurements.
