Summary - Bishops Court, Fluxton EX11 1RJ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Versatile farm holding with conversion potential and established point-to-point course.
72.78 acres of pasture and arable, mainly level or gently sloping
A rare 72.78-acre holding in the Otter Valley, Bishops Court Farm (Lot Three) combines productive pasture, arable ground and a substantial range of farm buildings around hardstanding yards. The site sits attractively above the valley with long views and a long-established Point-to-Point course running around the perimeter — useful for equestrian or event uses and preserving a distinctive character.
The cluster of steel-framed, concrete and traditional barns offers immediate agricultural use and genuine potential for change: many buildings lie outside the Natural Landscape and are considered to have scope for Class Q agricultural-to-residential conversion (subject to STPP). Services include mains electricity and water, private well water, and main drainage; completion is anticipated February–March 2026.
Buyers should note material constraints plainly. Much of the holding lies in the River Otter floodplain and some lower parcels are prone to flooding. The farm sits in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and is entered into mid-tier Environmental Stewardship schemes (one ending 12/2025, one 12/2027). Broadband is very slow and mobile coverage is average. The sale carries an overage/uplift clause: if residential planning permission is granted within 25 years, vendors are entitled to 25% uplift on building/yard value. The Basic Payment Scheme entitlements have been retained by the vendors.
This lot will suit buyers seeking a productive small farm, equestrian enterprise or a development opportunity (subject to planning). It offers scale, versatile buildings and strong local amenities within easy reach of Ottery St Mary, Sidmouth and Exeter, but purchasers must allow for floodplain management, stewardship commitments and the uplift clause in feasibility work.
