A fantastic smallholding of 16 acres with a detached 5/7 bed farmhouse and a substantial range of farm buildings. EPC Band G.
Situation - The property is located between Dean Prior and Buckfastleigh with close access to the A38/Devon Expressway, making for fast access to the cities of Exeter and Plymouth.
Buckfastleigh has its own range of independent shops and is well positioned for access to the Dartmoor National Park as well as the South Hams and Torbay coastline.
The medieval market town of Totnes lies approximately 6 miles to the south with its wider range of facilities and mainline railway station.
Description - The detached farmhouse was built in approximately 1905 and remains unlisted. Approached over its own private tarmac entrance drive, the farmhouse enjoys far-reaching views over its own land and towards Dartmoor in the distance. Situated within the Dartmoor National Park and with excellent communication links onto the A38 Devon Expressway, the farm and its expansive range of farm buildings offers fantastic potential for the next purchaser to run a business from the buildings, being business rated, or to perhaps apply for consent for alternative uses. Tor Dean Farm was formerly used for a well-known butchery company and is now offered with vacant possession in the farmhouse, buildings and the land.
Accommodation - The farmhouse is approached from the entrance drive along a pathway leading into the entrance hall with an impressive original staircase rising to the first floor with doors to the principal reception rooms either side. Both the reception rooms to the front have working fireplaces and both benefitting from double glazed uPVC sash windows. To the rear of the property is the kitchen, a room for coat storage and beyond a former WC together with a utility room with space and plumbing for a washing machine, a ground floor bathroom and from the kitchen a rear lobby providing access to the rear garden. It is thought that in the 1950’s the house was extended to one side to provide a further two bedrooms or offices.
The main staircase rises to a half-landing with a shower room with an airing cupboard, separate WC and a few steps up to the main landing providing access to five bedrooms, four of which are good sized double rooms which also have fireplaces, with the fifth bedroom a single room. Bedroom 5 was once used as a kitchen when the property was divided into flats, with some kitchen units remaining. There is a second staircase which leads back down to the kitchen.
Gardens - The farmhouse benefits from an area of lawn to the front and mainly to the rear where there is a timber summerhouse and fruit trees.
Farm Buildings - The farm buildings at Tor Dean Farm are substantial and have been utilized for many years for livestock storage and most recently for a butchering business. The buildings are business rated with a rateable value of £10,250 with £5,248 payable per annum.
Within the buildings there are several toilets and a staff kitchen. Included in the sale is the freezer room, 4 x workable fridges, food preparation areas, office. From the storage barn to the rear of the butchery buildings there is a flight of stairs leading up to the offices which overrun the butchery. From the office there is a door with a set of metal stairs leading down to the parking area as a fire escape. The office is fully wired with an additional meeting room with Velux windows providing much light.
