Newton Abbot, Devon
Description:
A charming Grade II Listed farmhouse, cottage and annexe with equestrian facilities and stunning views over the Dartmoor landscape. 7 bedrooms, large sitting rooms. Cottage gardens, 3 loose boxes, feed and tack stores.
SITUATION
Beara, aptly named using the Saxon word for wooded pasture, lies just to the north of Buckland-in-the-Moor adjacent to the thickly wooded Beara Plantation. Buckland is full of charm and has a quality that defies the passing of the years. This is one of Devon's dream villages with a small, attractive church dating from the 13th Century and a cluster of picturesque neatly thatched country cottages. Buckland is only about 4 miles from the popular town of Ashburton which nestles in the valley of the River Ashburn on the southern slopes of Dartmoor with individual shops, delis, bakeries and a 15th Century church. The A38 provides access to the cities of Plymouth and Exeter, with their comprehensive shopping facilities and flights, both domestic and international from their busy airports. There are also mainline railway stations at Totnes and Newon Abbot with links to London Paddington. The delightful rugged moorland is literally on the doorstep, with plenty of pony trekking, kayaking and walking opportunities. Totnes is approx 9 miles to the south with its historic Elizabethan connections and River Dart.
DESCRIPTION
Beara Farm is a quintessential Dartmoor farmstead made up of fine granite buildings under natural slate or tin roofs, sitting in a sunny position on the western slope of the hills that drop from Buckland Beacon down to the River Webburn in the valley below. From the fields, panoramic views can be had from Hameldown to the north, across Combestone Tor on the western horizon, all the way to Halwell masts deep in the South Hams! Although immediately livable and full of character features, the property could benefit from some modernization, offering imaginative buyers the perfect opportunity to personalise this enchanting and historic home. Aside from the renovation possibilities, Beara Farm also offers equestrian facilities and potential for either multi-generational living and/or rental income in the separate cottage and annexe.
THE COTTAGE
Almost undoubtedly part of the original domicile, and possibly the oldest part of the property, the cottage has been separated to create spacious accommodation with a large open sitting room and small kitchen on the ground floor and two double bedrooms and a large family bathroom on the first floor. Echoing the character of the main house, the cottage retains many of its period features to include exposed stone walling, oak window lintels, meat hooks in the ceiling and original timber doors and furniture.
THE FARMHOUSE
The farmhouse is brimming with character features that start from the first step through the door into a wide entrance hall with original granite flagged flooring. The passageway divides a cosy sitting room/snug and a large dining hall with original inglenook, bread oven and a window over the front. The kitchen and a traditional dairy, now a useful utility room, finish off the ground floor accommodation, whilst on the first floor there are four double bedrooms, a separate cloakroom and the sizeable family bathroom.
THE ANNEXE
The annexe can be accessed via internal doors from the main house or a separate external entrance and is made up of a large open sitting room on the ground floor with a staircase rising to a large double bedroom, most likely a hay loft, with exposed timber A-frames and a shower room with wash basin and WC.
OUTSIDE
The entrance drive at Beara Farm crosses a traditional farmyard with parking for several cars, original piggeries, a stone built barn, now a workshop and fuel store, the entrance into the barn conversions at High Beara and winds up past the buildings to the stable block and paddock at the rear. The immediate gardens are filled with many interesting flowering plants and shrubs and traditional trees to include elder, bay, oak, apple and a large sycamore. The stables are made up of a block-built building with a tin roof and separated into a large tack room of 12 x 12, a sizeable hay/straw barn of 36 x 12 and three 12 x 12 loose boxes on a concrete apron and yard that has been nestled into the landscape for shelter and security. The land in total amounts to 5.57 acres and includes the gardens and two paddocks of gently sloping fine grazing pasture.
