Summary - Lower Ebsworthy Town Farm, Bridestowe EX20 4QQ
9 bed 5 bath Farm House
242 acres with two period houses, extensive buildings and consented egg unit potential.
242 acre ring‑fenced livestock and arable farm, organic conversion underway
Ebsworthy Town Farm is a substantial 242-acre ring‑fenced livestock and arable holding north‑west of Bridestowe, offered with two substantial period houses and a large, mixed portfolio of modern and traditional agricultural buildings. The principal 5‑bed country house and separate 4‑bed farmhouse provide immediate residential accommodation with traditional stone character, far‑reaching views and established gardens. Productive pasture and arable ground (in organic conversion) plus 37 acres of woodland give both immediate farming income and longer‑term timber value.
The farm has clear commercial potential: planning consents have been granted for a 16,000‑bird free‑range egg‑laying unit (with a CL:AIRE licence to level the site), an agricultural access track, additional agricultural/storage buildings and change‑of‑use consents for a multi‑use building and café. There are 17 main farm buildings, substantial concrete yarding suitable for articulated vehicles, and two boreholes (one with a filtration system) supporting independent water supply.
Buyers should note several material points: both houses have modest EPCs (E48 and F34) and rely on oil central heating; the stone walls are assumed uninsulated; one or more previous barn conversion consents have lapsed; and there is inconsistent broadband information (super‑fast fibre reported to the houses, but an overall note of very slow speeds — recommend verification). The holding lies in a remoter, ageing rural area with pockets of local deprivation; agricultural operation and modern commercial enterprises will suit experienced farmers or investor‑developers prepared to manage permitting and capital works.
Overall this is a versatile, scaleable working farm with immediate agricultural value, consented development opportunities and leisure/sports potential from woodland and ponds. It suits an owner‑operator, farming investor or rural enterprise seeking a large, well‑configured West Devon holding with multiple income streams.
