Bishopsteignton, South Devon

Perched high above the Teign Estuary, Higher Radway Farm is a rare and exceptional estate spanning 88.45 acres of South Devon’s finest countryside, offering breathtaking and uninterrupted views from the sea at Teignmouth along the Teign Estuary and up to Dartmoor. A truly rare opportunity to craft a spectacular home in one of South Devon’s most breathtaking settings.

Whilst the whole site is available for sale, the seller will consider selling in 3 lots. Lot 1 being the house with acreage. Lot 2 being the class Q development site and Lot 3 being the remaining land.

The Farmhouse Redevelopment
At its heart is the existing farmhouse, built in 1956. The property features an entrance hall, a kitchen, a utility room, a sitting room, a dining room, and a garden room, as well as five bedrooms, a bathroom, a shower room, landscaped gardens, and an outdoor swimming pool. Whilst the property is habitable, the approved plans allow for an exceptional contemporary dwelling.

Planning permission was granted in 2020 and is in place to demolish the existing farmhouse and construct an incredible dwelling of approximately 7,631 square feet. The proposed ground floor layout is designed for both relaxation and entertaining, featuring a versatile social space with multiple areas to unwind. This includes an open-plan kitchen and dining area that flows seamlessly into an adjoining sitting room, as well as a snug, study, and playroom. A dedicated games room adds to the entertainment options, while a spacious utility room and a cloakroom provide practical convenience. Upstairs, the plans incorporate five generously sized en suite double bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite complete with an adjoining dressing room. Four of the five bedrooms benefit from walk-in wardrobes, offering ample storage. Maximising its elevated position, the property has been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the stunning panoramic views, with much of the accommodation oriented towards the estuary.

These plans also include a separate triple garage with storage areas, and an incredible pool as well as extensive landscaping measures such as border hedgerows, tree and wildflower plantings, terracing, and a new private access road.

Agricultural Buildings Development
As well as the farmhouse there is an additional area that includes a range of farm buildings and a covered yard area, for which Class Q planning permission has been granted to convert the agricultural structures into four separate dwellings. Architectural drawings for this conversion are available along with the planning history accessible via the Teignbridge District Council portal (reference 22/01899/NPA). www.teignbridge.gov.uk
