SITUATION

The land is situated on the periphery of the village of Bickington, outside of an area designated as National Landscape (formerly known as Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty) in the Teignbridge area of South Devon.

DESCRIPTION

The Land & Stables at Longstone Bridge comprises of approximately 4.10 acres (1.65 hectares) of permanent pasture land with a stable block, the full extent being outlined in red on the site plan.  

Bound by mature Devon hedgerows, and bordered by agricultural land on the north, east and west boundaries and the council maintained highway to the south. 

The land benefits from a stable block comprising three stables and a tack room, extending to approximately 473 square feet (44 square metres) in total, with a concrete apron yard, albeit the stables are in an unused condition. The stable block is of concrete block work wall construction, beneath corrugated roof sheets with concrete flooring throughout. 

The existing layout offers flexibility and could easily be adapted to suit a purchaser's individual requirements.

The land is predominantly of a moderate south facing gradient and is well suited to equestrian use. However, it may also appeal to purchasers seeking land for grazing, amenity, recreational or other alternative uses, subject to any necessary consents.

METHOD OF SALE

Land & Stables at Longstone Bridge is offered for sale by Formal Tender (unless sold prior).

The deadline date for the submission of tenders is Tuesday 15th September 2026 at 12 noon and all tenders must be submitted to Luscombe Maye Offices of 62 Fore Street, Kingsbridge or 6 Fore Street, South Brent in a sealed envelope clearly marked ‘Land & Stables at Longstone Bridge’.

Buyers who wish to submit a tender will be required to complete and sign the tender form and provide any supporting documentation as detailed within the Legal Pack available from the solicitor acting for the seller (see Legal Pack below). 

Any tender by the deadline date received will be subject to contract. Prospective purchasers should be aware that upon acceptance of their tender offer, a 10% deposit of the agreed sale price will be payable to the agent acting for the seller (or via their own solicitor), within 24 hours of written acceptance of their offer; failure to do so may result in the tender being rejected. 

Should a tender be acceptable to the seller and the 10% deposit received within the time frame outlined above, this will then constitute an exchange of contracts and be treated as a binding contract and legal completion and payment of the balance of the purchase price will follow approximately 28 days later or by the time frame set out in the legal pack. If the deposit is failed to be presented by the successful tender, then the Formal Tender Conditions will not be met and this will result in the tender being rejected.

Moreover, the successful purchaser will be liable to pay the sum of £2,000 plus VAT as an administration fee in addition to their tender price on completion. 

Please note, the seller does not undertake to accept the highest or any of the offers and the seller reserves the right to withdraw, alter or amend the way in which the land is offered for sale.
