Hukeley Hill Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire an rural smallholding extending to approximately 52.37 acres, enjoying an elevated position with breathtaking panoramic views across the surrounding Devon countryside. Set within a beautiful ring-fenced block of pastureland, the property offers immense appeal for agricultural, equestrian, lifestyle and conservation interests, together with exciting future potential for redevelopment or enhancement, subject to the necessary planning consents.

Occupying a peaceful semi-rural setting close to the sought-after country town of Bampton, the farm combines privacy and seclusion with excellent accessibility. Bampton offers a range of everyday amenities including independent shops, traditional pubs, a primary school, doctors’ surgery and historic church, whilst the larger market town of Tiverton lies approximately seven miles to the south, providing extensive retail and leisure facilities, access to Junction 27 of the M5, and Tiverton Parkway mainline station with regular intercity services to London Paddington in around two hours.

Approached via a private entrance driveway, the holding centres around a detached single-storey two-bedroom dwelling enjoying far-reaching rural views from numerous vantage points. The existing residence benefits from a Certificate of Lawful Use or Development, as a residential dwelling and is considered to offer significant scope for redevelopment, replacement or reconfiguration, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions. The combination of its elevated setting, privacy and outstanding outlook creates an exciting opportunity to create a superb countryside home in a truly special location.

The accommodation currently comprises an entrance hall/utility room, kitchen/dining room with multi-fuel stove, two bedrooms, bathroom and en-suite facilities. Externally, the gardens include lawned areas, mature shrubs and trees, all positioned to take full advantage of the spectacular surrounding landscape.

Complementing the dwelling is an extensive and versatile range of outbuildings and traditional farm structures arranged around a useful courtyard setting. These buildings provide excellent flexibility for agricultural, equestrian, storage, workshop or alternative uses, with further potential for adaptation or diversification subject to any required consents.

The land itself represents one of the property’s most attractive features. Extending to just over 52 acres, the gently undulating permanent pasture is divided into conveniently sized enclosures with mains-fed livestock troughs and enjoys an enviable elevated aspect with magnificent views across rolling countryside.

From numerous positions across the farm, the scenery is truly exceptional, with wide-reaching vistas that further enhance the sense of tranquillity and potential this unique holding provides.

Please note that located close to the centre of the holding is the Hukeley Knap telecoms tower compound, which is third-party owned. The telecoms operator and users retain rights of access via the private farm entrance track. Further details are available from the Agent.

Additionally, it should be noted that the pastureland is currently subject to a grass keep grazing licence which runs until 16th December, providing an immediate income stream and ongoing agricultural management in the short term. Further details are available from the Agent.
