House For Sale £1,375,000
Strategically located farmhouse with substantial range of buildings and up to 45.83 acres (18.56 ha).
Situation - Located on the western edge of Honiton, adjacent to the A30 trunk road, the farm is strategically positioned just outside the development boundary of the town and any Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
Honiton is a renowned centre for antiques and offers a range of independent shops and cafes. The town provides a good range of day to day amenities, schools, recreational facilities, and a railway station on the Exeter - London (Waterloo) line.
To the south is England's first World Heritage Site, the Jurassic coastline at Lyme Regis, with further popular resorts along the coast at Beer, Branscombe and Sidmouth.
Farmhouse - This spacious eight bedroom detached farmhouse has previously used as a Bed and Breakfast having been extended over the years into adjoining outbuildings. Now in need of some updating the spacious rooms provide plenty of scope for improvements with four reception rooms, large kitchen/breakfast room and a big utility/boot room.
Gardens - Set mainly east of the farmhouse the gardens are laid to lawn with a large summerhouse, mature specimens and fruit trees, bounded by a stream and a mature high hedge.
Traditional Outbuildings - Set around a part cobbled courtyard beside the farmhouse there is a range of single storey stone, cob, timber and block outbuildings, as outlined on the enclosed building plan.
Modern Farmbuildings - Extending to about 1,730 sq (18,600 sqft) there are a range of substantial farm buildings of reinforced concrete and steel portal frame construction built largely since the 1980's, with the last one obtaining consent 7th Jan 2013 (REF 12/2593/FUL). One barn has been let as a carpenter's workshop for many years (tenant to remain) and the others have been in active agricultural uses.
Development/Uplift Clause - Due to the strategic location on the edge of Honiton and the farm being set outside the AONB, the buildings and land will be sold with an uplift clause in case the land is developed for residential / commercial purposes within 25 years of completion: the vendor will be due a payment of 25% of the increase in value upon established/gain of planning permission.
