Summary - BUCKS BARTON, BIDEFORD, BUCKS CROSS EX39 5DT
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Large mixed farm with coastal views, barns with conversion potential and direct A39 access.
115.75 acres (46.85 ha) of productive Grade 3 arable and pasture
Bucks Barton is a substantial mixed farm set in 115.75 acres with sweeping south-facing coastal views across North Devon and direct A39 access. The main farmhouse is currently split into two dwellings (five bedrooms in total), offering immediate occupation for a farm worker household or flexible family and staff arrangements. Productive Grade 3 arable and pasture will suit continued cropping or livestock enterprises, with good road links to Bideford and Barnstaple.
The farmstead includes a range of traditional stone and cob barns with genuine conversion potential (subject to planning) alongside modern agricultural buildings used for livestock and storage. Some modern roofs use corrugated fibre cement panels (possible asbestos) and parts of an older stone barn are roofless, so certain buildings will require repair or selective replacement. Services include mains water and electricity, private drainage, and heating by LPG/oil and electric storage in the lodge.
Important constraints and liabilities are straightforward: the farmhouse dwellings are subject to an agricultural occupancy condition (AOC), restricting residence to those employed in agriculture/forestry; there are existing grazing and cropping licences in place (expiring 2025); and the holding lies within an AONB which will affect development scope. The property is offered freehold and available as a whole or in two lots, making it suitable for farming businesses, conversion-led development programmes (STP), or rural investment with operational land income.
This is a realistic opportunity for an agricultural purchaser or investor seeking a coastal North Devon holding with conversion upside, significant acreage and strong rural character. Viewings are recommended with due regard to the working nature of the farm and the building repairs that will be required.
