A productive ring-fenced farm peacefully set in rolling countryside
Description
Extending to some 99 acres, Solomons Farm is a ring fenced arable and stock farm, most recently used for beef finishing, both off grass and from the farm buildings, utilising home-grown crops. The bungalow and the farm buildings were constructed on green filed sites during the 1980’s, with great care and effort to being taken to ensure the location of both was optimised.
THE FARM BUNGALOW: Built in the early 1980’s and subsequently extended, the bungalow occupies a delightful position in the east of the farm, set back from the quiet parish lane and enjoying splendid, far-reaching views over lower-lying adjoining farms and across the Exe Estuary to rising ground beyond. It is of a good size with four bedrooms, offering comfortable family accommodation, and would now benefit from modernisation to take full advantage of the unrepeatable setting. The bungalow has an Agricultural Occupancy Condition and offers adaptable, 5 bedroom family accommodation.
The bungalow is approached over a short, tarmac entrance drive with parking for several vehicles, beyond which the low maintenance gardens wrap around three sides of the bungalow, from where there are lovely views over adjoining farmland and estuary. The entrance drive continues past the bungalow to a range of outbuildings including gardens and log stores beyond which are adaptable workshop style buildings.
THE FARM BUILDINGS: Lie in a largely concrete yard well away for the bungalow and comprise an adaptable range of livestock and general-purpose buildings suitable for a number of different farming or other uses.
THE FARMLAND: This ring-fenced run of free draining land is shown as lying between the 28m and 75m above sea level contour lines and includes a superb run of level or very gently sloping land in the southeast (shown as Grade 1 on Defra Land Classification), giving way to more undulating land with a couple of steeper banks. Approximately 20 – 30 acres of maize have been grown annually in rotation.
Location
Solomons Farm lies on the western approaches to the tidal River Exe, sitting on slightly higher ground affording wonderful views across the Estuary toward Lympstone, Topsham and Exmouth a little further downstream. This peaceful setting belies the convenience of the property to a superb transport network, with the main A38 only two miles away and the M5 motorway a further 2 miles. The historic village of Exminster is close by, offering a good range of local amenities including primary school, surgery, several shops and two pubs. The cathedral city of Exeter is about 5 miles and well served by both national and independent retailers and restaurants as well as highly regarded private and state schools and internationally renowned University. Transport links are excellent including rail connections to both the Paddington and Waterloo lines, international airport, and direct access to the M5 motorway. The stunning coastline of south Devon is within 7 miles whilst Dartmouth is around 25 miles
