Oxenpark is a substantial 68-acre working farm with a three-bedroom period farmhouse, four additional dwellings (three holiday lets and a lodge/mobile home) and a large range of adaptable agricultural buildings. The site benefits from far-reaching coastal views towards Bude Bay, well fenced pasture, a wooded valley with stream, and a Gaia wind turbine producing an income under a 20‑year FIT contract that commenced in 2011. The farmhouse retains period features, double glazing and oil‑fired central heating. EPCs across the units range from C to D.
The farmstead offers clear income and development potential for a buyer experienced in rural property. Three cottages are in holiday use (business‑rated) and a former milking parlour has three‑phase electricity and previously held 2014 consent to create two two‑bed holiday homes (permission has now lapsed). The yard layout, concrete/hardcore areas and multiple sheds suit livestock, storage or small‑scale diversification subject to planning.
Buyers should note material constraints: several stone buildings have no insulated cavity (walls described as granite with assumed no insulation), heating is oil‑fired throughout and drainage is private septic tank systems. The farm requires ongoing maintenance across buildings, yards and 68 acres; some agricultural buildings are basic corrugated or timber construction and may need repair or conversion work. The FIT turbine income (circa £15,000 pa when active under the original contract) is a significant asset but the contract term began in 2011 (20 years), so buyers should confirm remaining term and payments.
This property is best suited to purchasers seeking an income‑generating rural holding, holiday‑let operator, or someone wanting an agricultural base with scope for sympathetic conversion and diversification. Practical considerations — planning for conversions, septic drainage, building fabric upgrades and running costs for a large estate — are important factors when assessing value and future use.
