Situation - Churchlands Farm is located in a beautiful and peaceful partly wooded valley setting with no near neighbours and yet is within easy reach of good road communications with the A377 about half a mile away. The local town of Chulmleigh lies about 2.5 miles and has a good range of amenities including schooling to secondary level. The larger town of South Molton is about 9 miles and has a further range of facilities and commercial venues with the regional centre of Barnstaple about 15 miles.
The Taw Valley is an area renowned for its beautiful landscape and typical rolling Devon countryside and lies equidistant between Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks. The popular North Devon coastline is also within easy reach by car.
Description - Churchlands Farm is centred on an imposing house built in the mid 18th Century on the site of a previous farmhouse. The dwelling was then used as a Vicarage for thirty years before being sold in 1805 and has been used as a private dwelling ever since. The house offers spacious accommodation with three reception rooms and four double bedrooms and has been significantly renovated and improved by the current owners but does offer some scope for further improvement.
Adjacent to the house is a superbly converted barn, Primrose Cottage, and is used as a two bedroom holiday cottage which also provides a useful income. The cottage also has its own access independent from the rest of the farmstead.
There is a versatile range of adaptable modern and traditional buildings that offer scope for further development, subject to obtaining the necessary consents.
The Farmhouse - The front door leads into the enclosed PORCH with shelving to the right. Part stained glass door to the HALL with stairs to first floor, under-stairs cupboard and doors into the principal rooms. The SITTING ROOM has a fireplace with stone hearth and wood-burning stove and glazed double doors to outside. The LIVING/DINING ROOM has a slightly larger fireplace with brick and slate hearth, bread oven and wood-burning stove. The KITCHEN has a slate tiled floor and is fitted with a range of oak units with oak worktops, dual fuel range cooker, matching wall mounted units and an oak unit with Belfast sink and polished granite worktop either side, space for fridge and plumbing for dish washer. Off the kitchen is a LARDER.
Also off the main hall is a large STUDY/SNUG with a door to outside. The UTILITY has a stainless steel sink unit with worktop to the side and plumbing for washing machine and space for dryer below. The SHOWER ROOM has a shower cubicle, WC and pedestal wash basin.
On the FIRST FLOOR is a GALLERIED LANDING leading to FOUR DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a re-fitted BATHROOM with travertine tiled floor and walls, panelled bath, pedestal wash basin, WC, large tiled shower and airing cupboard.
Primrose Cottage - Primrose Cottage is an attractive barn that was converted around 10 years ago into a unit of holiday accommodation. The cottage offers open plan accommodation on the ground floor with a large LIVING ROOM with slate floor (underfloor heated), fireplace with wood-burning stove, well-fitted KITCHEN and DINING AREA together with TWO DOUBLE BEDROOMS and a BATHROOM on the first floor. Importantly the cottage has its own access drive which is independent of the main drive to the farm.
Outside - The main farmstead is approached over its own long access drive that leads up to the house with plenty of parking to the front and side. The front garden is mainly laid to lawn with further grassed areas leading across the drive and down to a stream and pond. Large traditional greenhouse. The gardens are set against a highly attractive backdrop of a variety of mature trees.
The Outbuildings - There is a useful and adaptable range of buildings. Traditional stone/cob BARN (39' x 15') with stone/block LEAN-TO (17'3" x 11'1") at the lower end. To the lower side is a CAR PORT/WORKSHOP (21'5" x 20'6") with further ROOM (13'7" x 11'3") adjoining to the rear. To the rear of the main barn is an old SHIPPON (23' x 19') with LEAN-TO (23' x 11'). Set below the traditional buildings is a lower YARD alongside which is a concrete portal framed BUILDING (45' x 28') and a 3 bay HAY BARN (43' x 20').
The Land - The farmstead is centrally set within a highly attractive holding of land. It is mainly down to pasture with areas of mature woodland and amenity land. The land has a very appealing parkland like feel to it and provides a beautiful setting for the farmstead. In total the farm extends to about 37 ACRES.
Services - Mains electricity, solar panels, private water and drainage. The kitchen and first floor of the farmhouse have under floor heating. Primrose Cottage also has underfloor heating.
Viewing - Strictly by confirmed prior appointment please through the sole selling agents, Stags on .
Directions - From the junction of the A377 and the B3226 at Fortescue Cross, Newnham, take the A377 towards Barnstaple. Cross over railway line and the river Taw and take the next sharp left turn (un-signposted) onto a country lane. Stay on this lane for about half a mile and take the second of two unmarked entrance drives to the property on the right.
