Bishopsteignton, Teignmouth, Devon

Higher Radway Farm is an extraordinary property in a super location. The existing farmhouse was built in 1956 but planning permission has now been granted to demolish it and create a new outstanding home of approximately 7,631 sq ft. These new plans will create a delightful house in probably one of the best locations in Devon with extensive views across the surrounding countryside from Dartmoor in the west following the Teign Estuary down to the sea at Teignmouth in the east. It is very difficult to put into words what an outstanding, high and private position the house occupies and viewing is very highly recommended. Further lots available by separate negotiation.

Higher Radway Farm is a rare opportunity to build an exquisite, contemporary family home in a rural setting in South Devon with uninterrupted countryside and estuary views and approximately 22.65 acres.

Plans have also been granted for an outdoor swimming pool in front of the house with elevated views towards the estuary.

Higher Radway Farm occupies a superb position high above the Teign estuary in lovely open countryside surrounded by its own land. It has panoramic views over the surrounding area; possibly one of the most unique locations in Devon. Nearby Shaldon is a sought-after and picturesque village set at the mouth of the Teign Estuary on the lovely South Devon coastline. The village has a strong sense of community and nestles beautifully between the sandy estuary beach and the rolling hills above. There are a range of independent shops and cafes, restaurants and a charming foot passenger ferry across to the seaside town of Teignmouth. Teignmouth has a wide range of daily facilities to include a number of supermarkets, shops, pubs and a chemist. More extensive business and recreational facilities can be found in Newton Abbot (5 miles) and the Cathedral City of Exeter (12 miles) where there is an extensive range of supermarkets and other shops. There are a number of educational facilities close by and slightly further afield. Bishopsteignton has a primary school, Teignmouth has both a community college and Trinity School, offering private education at both primary and secondary level. Torquay has the renowned Grammar Schools and the Cathedral City of Exeter has a “red brick” university. There is a bus service from Exeter Racecourse which runs to Maynard School in Exeter and Blundells School in Tiverton which are both private. Communication links are excellent with the A380 dual carriageway providing access back to the M5 motorway at Exeter. Teignmouth and Newton Abbot provide the mainline railway links to London Paddington in about 2 hours 20 minutes and the rest of the United Kingdom via Bristol.The area provides a wide choice of sporting facilities including several Golf courses (Teignmouth Golf Course is within walking distance) and excellent riding and walking in the countryside. The nearest beach can be found at Teignmouth with other popular destinations such as Dawlish and the rest of South Devon only a short distance away.
