SITUATION: East Rowhorne Farm is set in a stunning rural location surrounded by its own land. Although in a rural location, the Cathedral and university city of Exeter is within an easy commute.
Exeter offers a wealth of amenities, including excellent shopping and dining, theatres, and a wide range of sporting and recreational facilities. The city is well-served by railway stations on both the Paddington and Waterloo lines and has an international airport.
The farm is well located for road communications with access to the A30 dual carriageway. This connects to Cornwall to the west and the M5 to the east.
The nearby village of Tedburn St Mary offers an excellent range of amenities including a primary school, village shop, two public houses, historic parish church and Methodist chapel, together with regular community events. For outdoor pursuits, Dartmoor National Park, 7.1 miles away, offers many opportunities for walking, riding, cycling and fishing.
INTRODUCTION: East Rowhorne Farm occupies a private and picturesque position, approached via a private lane leading to the central farmstead, which is surrounded by its own land.
The principal farmhouse (not listed) provides spacious family accommodation and, whilst now requiring modernisation, offers the opportunity to create an impressive country home. To the rear, a patio area enjoys spectacular far-reaching views across the Devon countryside towards Haldon Hill, the city of Exeter and the Exe Estuary beyond to Exmouth. Additional residential accommodation is provided by Magpie Bungalow.
A traditional range of farm buildings provides useful storage and workshop space and offers potential for a variety of alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents.
The modern agricultural building and concrete pad provide an excellent base for smallholding, agricultural or equestrian uses, with direct access onto the land.
The land comprises a mixture of productive pasture and attractive areas of broadleaf woodland, creating an appealing balance of agricultural, amenity and conservation interest.
In total, the farm extends to 68.51 acres (27.73) and is available for sale as a whole or in two lots.
