Description

An exciting opportunity to acquire an historic farm in need of total restoration and repair in this tucked away location on Dartmoor National Park, between Belstone and Okehampton. Offering great potential (subject to planning) it comes to the market for the first time in generations and comprises the original farmhouse, two substantial barns, a further hay barn and some land with the plot extending to 3.76 acres. Further land up to 88 acres available by separate negotiation. Offered with no upward chain.

Situation

The property is located on a quiet lane located between the much sought after Dartmoor village of Belstone and the town of Okehampton. Belstone offers an attractive centre for walking and riding on Dartmoor and benefits from a pretty Parish Church. The village boasts a thriving cricket club, pub and an active social scene, with excellent access to the A30 providing links westwards to the beaches of Cornwall and eastwards towards the regional capital of Exeter with its extensive range of services.

Description

Westlake Farm is an historic site probably dating back hundreds of years but which has been unoccupied for many years. The land has been used for livestock throughout this time but the buildings have not seen active use in many a year. Originally comprising a far larger farm it is being split into smaller Lots with additional land potentially being available by separate negotiation.

From the lane a copper beech tree-lined driveway leads up past a small barn to the main parking area in front of the old farmhouse, a two storey stone house, with two far larger substantial stone barns located to either side. All the barns and buildings are in need of extensive repair but offer great potential subject to any necessary consents.

Outside

To the northern side of the drive and parking area there is an open field of 1.78 acres adjoining the main yard with mature trees and hedging. This leads to a small stream with an overgrown strip of land extending to 0.62 acres which adjoins the council lane. Adjoining the driveway is an area of scrubland bound by mature trees extending to 0.58 acres. If the buildings were to be all converted to dwellings there is potential for the land to also be split. The whole plot extends to 3.76 acres including the farm buildings.
