Dadds Tenement has been in the ownership of the current vendor’s family since it was purchased from the Castle Hill Estate in 1960 and its sale thereby represents a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile and unspoilt residential smallholding centred upon a detached traditional cottage affording well proportioned two bedroomed accommodation. Despite now requiring renovation and refurbishment, the unlisted house affords the potential to create a character country home with space and scope for further enlargement, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent.
The property is complemented by a large gardens and a useful and adaptable range of farm buildings, formerly used for the housing of livestock and storage of machinery. Also included with the property is a charming strip of pasture land, formerly believed to have been an orchard, as evidenced by the one sole remaining apple tree. Dadds Tenement itself extends in total to about 0.57 Acres.
In addition to the above, situated just a short walk along the road, is a pretty parcel of pasture land extending to about 2.63 Acres. The purchaser of Dadds Tenement will be offered the option to purchase this additional land at the fixed price of £30,000. If this option is not exercised then the land will be offered for sale in the auction.

The property occupies an outstanding rural position adjacent to East Buckland Cross, on the edge of this sought after North Devon village, just a short distance to the east of the larger village of West Buckland, which is renowned for the highly regarded West Buckland School. Set in unspoilt, gently rolling countryside the property enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield via the A361 North Devon link road. To the south east, the bustling market town of South Molton provides an excellent range of everyday services including shops, schools, restaurants and a high street bank, together with a Sainsbury’s supermarket, health centres, recreational facilities and a local cottage hospital. The A361 provides easy access to the larger regional centre of Barnstaple as well as Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
West Buckland lies in the beautiful band of countryside to the south of the Exmoor National Park, a predominantly agricultural landscape primarily comprising pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of woodland and pretty river valleys. Exmoor to the north offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths, whilst the North Devon coast is easily accessible with lovely sandy beaches at Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The property is approached from the road via a pedestrian gate leading into a large lawned garden with a greenhouse and fenced vegetable patch, with a further large grassed area situated to the side of the cottage. Adjoining to rear elevation is a small range of outbuildings comprising a block and profile steel roofed Store, approx. 2.2m x 2m, and a further stone and gi roofed range of Store Sheds, approx. 6.7m x 3.1m.
