Additional Info
There is an excellent range of adaptable modern farm buildings which were previously used for livestock housing and fodder storage. The main buildings are all steel framed and well positioned in terms of ringing stock in and out with ease and are also wired for ptz cameras to assist with calving and lambing. In addition to the modern buildings, there is a concrete framed silage clamp area. To the east of the property is a two storey traditional building, the ground floor of which is used as stabling with two loose boxes with the first floor being useful storage space and hobbies room.
The land all lies within a ring fence and extends to approximately155 acres in all. The land comprises predominantly good quality level and gently sloping pasture land and is split into good sized, workable enclosures with mature Dartmoor hedge banks. The pasture land is in good heart and the majority is free draining and therefore well suited to grazing and the production of forage. A particular feature is the high quality stock proof fencing across the entire holding as well as multiple road access points. On the western side of the farm is a highly attractive area of mixed woodland with a small water course running through. The area is home to an abundance of wildlife throughout the seasons. The land would also lend itself to equestrian use with some unrivalled outriding and direct access to Dartmoor. Aside from agriculture, the land is well suited for conservation or amenity purposes. There are 20KW solar panels on Cornish rockers providing a useful income to the holding.
