Lot 1 Burrow Farm which isn't listed is a beautifully presented classic Devon Farmhouse which has been sympathetically and fully refurbished to a very high standard, including rewiring and re-plumbing. There is a generous entrance hall from which the main kitchen dining room lies which is perfect for entertaining. This room benefits from an AGA as well as a superb open fireplace with a wood burner. The separate sitting room lends itself to cosy winter evenings in with a further fireplace and wood burner. The separate study is well placed for working from home and there is good Wifi. It is also worth noting the snug/drawing room as an additional entertaining space and reading area. The bedroom accomodation is excellent with four generous bedrooms in the main house including a superb principal suite. There is a further range of traditional buildings that could be incorporated into the main house subject to the necessary consents or changed to create a further dwelling. There are two sets of farm buildings as well as 14.66 acres of beautiful land and woodland.
Separate to the main house and included in Lot 2 is the cottage which is ideal as an annexe, standalone home or holiday let. There are two bedrooms and an open plan reception room and private garden. Again, this has been fully refurbished, rewired, re-plumbed and re-thatched.
Lot 3 has its own separate access with a number of excellent fields with great views as well as some mature woodland.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The gardens and grounds surround the house and include a small lake, lawned areas, a vegetable garden with a polytunnel and to the front of the house is a south-facing enclosed and partially walled garden.
Burrow Farm is hidden away in a private location and the house cannot be seen from the road. The whole property has a rich diversity of land to include permanent pasture, woodland, wildlife areas and a stream running along the western boundary. It offers a buyer many opportunities to take full benefit of this diversity and privacy.
The whole property extends in all to about 44.26 acres. The land has been let recently on a short term grazing agreement to a local farmer. There are a number of well fenced fields and there are further areas of woodland and permanent pasture. Part of the land is registered for the Single Payment Scheme. There is currently a timber management program underway, in conjunction with National Grid requirements.
LOT 2: THE COTTAGE
In addition to the main house there is a detached, newly refurbished to a very high standard, two bedroom cottage which can be used for guest, family or staff accommodation. It has a large sitting room with open fire, kitchen/dining area and a private garden. The cottage has its own separate access and parking space.
Burrow Farm is situated in a stunning rural location, surrounded by superb Devon countryside of rolling hills and wooded valleys. It is close to the popular Teign Valley and lies within the Dartmoor National Park. Nearby Drewsteignton is a pretty and unspoilt village with an excellent pub, The Drewe Arms, a good local shop and Post Office, the Old Inn restaurant and a guest house. The village is located directly on the Two Moors Way footpath which connects Dartmoor and Exmoor.
The position of the property allows for easy links to Cornwall to the west and Exeter and the M5 motorway to the east. The M5 links with the M4 north of Bristol to provide motorway access to London, the Midlands and the North of England. A regular Intercity train service operates from Exeter St David's to London Paddington with the fastest train taking about 2 hours. There is also a service via Salisbury to London Waterloo in about 2 hours 45 minutes. Exeter International Airport offers flights to a number of destinations within the British Isles and a growing number of European destinations.
