News Release
- Three West Country Farms for Auction
Manor Farm, Norton Fitzwarren extends to 162 acres and lies on the western fringe of Taunton in the fertile Taunton Vale. A superb and productive mixed arable/livestock farm Manor Farm is to be auctioned on 10 August against a guide price of excess £1,400,000.
The Farm includes some very productive arable land and a productive run of pasture. The buildings include an insulated potato store, grain store and further cattle yards. The impressive 6 bedrooms farmhouse is approached over its own drive and whilst lying within the Vale has pleasant and far reaching views to both the Blackdowns and Quantocks.
Caffyns Farm, Lynton extends to 136 acres on the North Devon Coast and with views to the South Wales Coast over the Bristol Channel, as well as peeps of the Valley of Rocks, is guided at £1,250,000 - £1,400,000 and is to be auctioned on Thursday 26 August.
At the centre of this productive farm is an old farmhouse mentioned in the Domesday Book and also a separate bungalow with stunning views out to sea. Below the house is an exceptional range of stone barns, mainly lofted and with internal courtyards and much scope for development, subject to planning.
The land is gently sloping and has been used to grow potatoes and corn over the years as well as grass which is in at present, and there is also some woodland along one edge of the farm offering some sporting and wildlife interest.
The position of this farm is exceptional and there are no footpaths or rights of way crossing it enhancing the privacy offering the farmstead lying central to the land.
Last but not least is Northwood Farm, Chudleigh in the Teign Valley, south west of Exeter and with easy access (3 miles) to the A38 running between Exeter and Plymouth.
Northwood Farm extends to just over 75 acres and is tucked away in the Valley with frontage and fishing on the River Teign. The Teign is mainly salmon and sea trout but also offers brown trout.
This stunning little farm has a long approach drive passing through the meadows and up to the old farmstead where there are some lovely old buildings including an old Pound House containing the majority of the old Cider Press still in situ.
The old farmhouse must have been replaced at some point and there is now a spacious 4 bedroom 1930's brick farmhouse which has stunning views down the valley and needs some modernisation.
The grounds include cider orchards, woodland, ponds as well as some level and undulating pasture. For those wishing to step back in time this is a must!
The guide for the farm will be £800,000 plus fishing rights. The auction is to be held on Friday 20 August.
For further information on any of these farms please contact Alex Rew or Andrew Dodds, Stags Farm Agency, 01392 680059.

- Team Effort
Stags of Launceston are pleased to announce the successful Auction of the Methodist Chapel at Trenance, which took place at Wadebridge Town Hall
The room was full of interested parties in what proved to be a most exciting opportunity in today's market. Stags Rural Property Consultancy were invited by the local Methodist Circuit to advise on suitable planning for the property. Swiftly and smoothly under the guidance of Mr Gareth Rowe based at the Truro office, achieved a full residential planning permission for this architecturally fascinating property.
Once planning permission was granted, Stags of Launceston and the client solicitors Messrs John Whiting & Co., were invited to advise the clients as to the best method of sale and the auction process was identified as being most likely to achieve a successful outcome. The room had over 30 people in attendance all keen to crystallise their interest in the property. The advertising and marketing campaign offered the clients the best balance of marketing, which generated 41 viewings on the property within the condensed 6 week period before the auction. The bidding for the property opened at £120,000 and swiftly moved to the £190,000 mark before the 2 last bidders, one from London and another from the Midlands, competed in order to secure this fascinating property. The hammer finally fell at £206,000 and auctioneer David Robinson, Branch Manager at the Launceston office stated that "Stags were delighted to offer the clients the complete service from start to finish and this underlines the benefits of an Auction if handled correctly with the correct advice and support required in today's challenging market place".
