Lisburne Farmhouse
Extending to over 4,000 sq ft, the principal house offers generous and well-balanced accommodation. At its heart is the impressive kitchen and breakfast room, thoughtfully extended by the current owner to maximise natural light and the surrounding views. Well-appointed and designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen features an AGA and ample space for dining.

The remainder of the ground floor provides a series of well-proportioned reception rooms, including a formal dining room, a snug and a separate sitting room, both with wood-burning stoves, together with an elegant drawing room centred around an open fireplace. The layout offers flexibility for both formal entertaining and quieter family use, with a natural flow between rooms.

On the first floor, the master suite provides a spacious bedroom, dressing room and en-suite bathroom. A further en-suite bedroom is complemented by two additional double bedrooms, all enjoying attractive views and built-in storage.

Returning to the ground floor, the kitchen also provides access to an additional wing, which can function as a self-contained unit with its own private entrance and staircase. This area incorporates a utility room, cloakroom and boot room, with stairs leading to three further bedrooms and a shower room, offering excellent potential for multi-generational living or guest accommodation.

Lisburne Barn
Adjoining the farmhouse, Lisburne Barn is a well-considered barn conversion providing high-quality ancillary accommodation. The ground floor is arranged in an open-plan format, combining kitchen, dining and living areas to create a generous and sociable space, centred around a wood-burning stove.

Upstairs, a double bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe is served by an en suite shower room. An attached garage provides practical storage, and the barn enjoys direct access to the front grounds.

Swimming Pool
The indoor swimming pool features expansive windows overlooking the gardens, allowing for abundant natural light and creating a seamless connection with the outdoor surroundings. Thoughtfully positioned to take full advantage of the views, it offers a well-proportioned leisure space that enhances the property’s overall appeal and lifestyle offering.

Outbuildings and Land
Lisburne Farm is further complemented by an extensive range of outbuildings, including a large modern farm building, garage/workshop and additional traditional barns. These structures offer considerable flexibility for equestrian use, storage, workshop space or potential future adaptation, subject to the necessary consents.

The immediate grounds combine established gardens and a picturesque pond, contributing to the property’s tranquil setting. In total, Lisburne Farm extends to approximately 33.08 acres (13.39 hectares), as outlined on the site plan.

The land comprises approximately 5.07 acres of woodland and 25.14 acres of permanent pasture, with a further 2.50 acres of established gardens, pond and grounds as well as a former quarry. Previously used for livestock grazing, the land offers scope for a variety of alternative uses, subject to obtaining the appropriate planning permissions.

Private yet not isolated, Lisburne Farm presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and adaptable country residence within a balanced and highly desirable rural environment.

SOUTH BRENT 

The moorland village of South Brent stands in the valley of the River Avon under the southern foothills of Dartmoor National Park and on the northern edge of the lovely South Hams, fifteen miles from the centre of Plymouth.

The village is one with a strong community with three churches, one of which dates back to Norman times, a primary school and a wide variety of shops. There are well-regarded community colleges at Totnes and Ivybridge, approximately eight and five miles distant respectively, and both towns offer a comprehensive range of facilities for the wider community. Some of the finest beaches on the south coast, along with the South West Coast Path, are all within easy reach.

Situated just off the A38 Expressway, the village is well placed for quick access to Plymouth, Torbay and Exeter for which there are regular bus services. Rail services can be found at Ivybridge, approximately five miles distant, offering services to Plymouth, Totnes, Newton Abbot, Exeter St David's and on to Bristol, Cardiff and London.
