Belstone, Okehampton, EX20

Situation

The property is located on a quiet lane located between the much sought after Dartmoor village of Belstone and the town of Okehampton. Belstone offers an attractive centre for walking and riding on Dartmoor and benefits from a pretty Parish Church. The village boasts a thriving cricket club, pub and an active social scene, with excellent access to the A30 providing links westwards to the beaches of Cornwall and eastwards towards the regional capital of Exeter with its extensive range of services.

Description

Westlake Farm is an historic site probably dating back hundreds of years but which has been unoccupied for many years. The land has been used for livestock throughout this time but the buildings have not seen active use in many a year. Originally comprising a larger farm it can potentially be available with more or less land subject to separate negotiations. From the lane a copper beech tree-lined driveway leads up past a small barn to the main parking area in front of the old farmhouse, a two storey stone house (with one half part collapsed), with two far larger substantial stone barns located to either side. All the barns and buildings are in need of extensive repair but offer great potential subject to any necessary consents.

Outside

The land is in good order and extends both north and south of the buildings but lies predominantly to the west and is made up of mainly pasture and approx 13 acres of woodland. A stream runs through it providing some fresh water and there are both pedestrian and vehicular gates leading out to various lanes. A public footpath does bisect the land and is marked purple on the Promap plan included with these details. Some commoners rights to graze on Belstone Common are attached to the land but the final allocation will depend on what is agreed in the final sale.
