Copydown Lane, EX5

Situation
A rare opportunity to purchase a well-located livestock farming unit, featuring a substantial four-bedroom farmhouse together with a one-bedroom annexe. The holding benefits from an excellent range of modern and traditional farm buildings, which may lend themselves to alternative uses, subject to planning. Extending in total to approximately 80.07 acres, of which the majority is pasture, the property is situated in an accessible rural position close to Bradninch, with excellent links to Exeter.

Location
Caseberry Farm is set in an idyllic rural location sitting within a ringfenced block of pastureland, with the farmhouse and yard set within the centre.

The farm is located southwest of Cullompton, approximately 4 miles from the town
centre. In turn, it is approximately 9 miles to the city of Exeter and 9.5 miles from the

Agricultural Buildings
Traditional red brick storage buildings with a brick lean-to can be found along the driveway. Further into the holding is an eye-catching courtyard style red brick stable block and yard.

Both buildings offer development potential, subject to the necessary planning consents, and provide character to the holding.
