Description

A sale subject to a change of use will be considered and early viewings are highly recommended.

This smallholding comprises a Devon longhouse set within approximately 10-11 acres of highly private grounds. The property benefits from four large outbuildings, a cottage building, a summerhouse and the main house, which offers eight bedrooms (six en suite) and numerous offices, reception rooms with open fires. Additional features include an indoor swimming pool with sauna and much more. Over the years, the property has been used as offices, a veterinary surgery and a retreat for young adults. More recently, planning discussions have taken place, and Dartmoor National Park Authority has indicated that a development of approximately 10-12 dwellings would be favourably considered, without prejudice to alternative uses of the barns.

The property is set on the edge of Dartmoor and access is via a lovely tree lined drive. It's situated within walking distance to the local village of Brenton, Devon. The location of this property is excellent to access all parts of Devon and Cornwall and within minutes' drive is the sought-after town of Tavistock. The Ocean city of Plymouth is nearby and a bit further is the Cathedral city of Exeter with its world-renowned University, M5 motorway, main Paddington train line and International airport.
