The sale of East Betham represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a most attractive and adaptable residential smallholding occupying an outstanding rural position. Having in part been in the ownership of the current vendor’s family since the 1960’s this sale affords prospective purchasers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a most versatile rural property, affording an eclectic mix of residential, development, agricultural, conservation and amenity appeal.
The property is centered upon a detached bungalow, believed to originally date from the 1930’s with a later extension, enjoying privacy and seclusion within beautiful Devon countryside. Whilst now requiring complete refurbishment and modernisation, the dwelling provides well-proportioned three bedroomed family accommodation set in delightful mature gardens, to be approached over a proposed new private entrance drive. A former agricultural barn has recently obtained planning permission for conversion to a large four bedroomed detached dwelling, whilst consent has also been granted for the erection of a new three bedroom detached house, affording the potential to create two most attractive country homes. Adjoining the farmstead and extending to the north, is an excellent block of agricultural and amenity land, contained within a ring fence and principally comprising level and gently undulating pasture incorporating attractive pockets of mixed deciduous woodland and a superb area of unimproved moorland, affording considerable wildlife and conservation appeal.
The land may be well suited to a variety of agricultural, equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses. In total, East Betham extends to about 92.46 Acres (37.41 Ha) and is offered for sale as a whole, or in up to seven lots, as described within these sale particulars and shown on the attached identification plan.

The property occupies a quiet and peaceful, yet readily accessible rural position lying between the popular villages of Witheridge and Rackenford. Despite its rural setting East Betham still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and further afield. Witheridge itself offers a useful range of local services including a general store, post office, hairdressers, doctors surgery, primary school, public house, parish church and village hall. The nearby sought after village of Rackenford also provides a good range of local amenities including an historic public house and parish church, with a pre-school nursery, primary school and village stores/post office also available. The bustling market town of South Molton provides an excellent range of everyday services including shops, schools, restaurants and banks, together with a Sainsbury’s supermarket, health centres, recreational facilities and a cottage hospital. The A361 North Devon link road is within easy driving distance providing access to the larger regional centre of Barnstaple as well as Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27).
East Betham lies in the lovely band of countryside between South Molton and Tiverton, 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. Mainline intercity rail links are available at Tiverton Parkway (London Paddington approx. 2 hours) with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
