W E S T D R E Y T O N F A R M

SELLER INSIGHT I have lived here for nearly 51 years and brought up my family here. During my time here I have constantly upgraded

and improved the house. It has a very homely and cosy feel to it and is extremely private with no near neighbours. The property has many features with of real note a 32 foot stone built well, thick stone walls and old panelled doors. The property sits within a site of just over 4 acres and I have planning permission for four residential units in the nearby stone barn and former milking parlour. West Dreyton Farm allows me easy access into Dartmouth, Totnes, Kingsbridge and there is a local pub, service station, community shop, primary school and church in the village.

Now has come the time for me to downsize. West Dreyton Farm will provide a nice family home for someone or there are extensive development opportunities for currently four residential dwellings. I hope that the new owners will enjoy this beautiful location as much as I have.”*

STEP INSIDEWest Dreyton Farm offers a wonderful opportunity to acquire an attractive Farmstead with significant development potential. The farmstead is accessed from a private driveway where the farmhouse and outbuildings are located. It is understood that the main house dates back to circa 1905 with the stone barns pre dating the main house. The house offers light and spacious accommodation over two levels with many of the rooms on the first floor elevation affording fine rural vistas. There is an excellent flow to the main house which has been updated in recent years to offer comfortable, homely living. There are further opportunities to update the house further however should one wish to. Outside the house has an attractive part walled garden with two useful stores and extensive parking.

To the rear of the property are extensive yards in which are situated a range of traditional stone barns with planning consent for three two storey units and a milking parlour with Class Q (A&B) consent to convert to an attractive single storey residential dwelling. In addition, there are a range of outbuildings and the site sits within approximately 4.19 acres of land.

THE FARMHOUSE, BARNS & OUTBUILDINGS The farmhouse is an attractive detached home which offers light and spacious accommodation predominantly over two floors (and with an additional loft room). Many of the rooms afford fine rural views and there is a peaceful feeling to this private farmstead. It is understood that the property was built around 1905 with well proportioned rooms as you would expect from a dwelling of that period. To the ground floor there are three reception rooms set off a spacious hallway with a modern kitchen and shower room / wc completing this level’s rooms. Stairs lead up to the first floor level where there are four bedrooms, a bathroom and en suite shower room to the master bedroom.
