Oaklands Farm is a substantial freehold agricultural holding extending to 66.16 acres (26.76 ha) with direct road access and wide views towards Exmoor National Park. The site includes two insulated steel-framed buildings originally for poultry (capacity 7,000) and latterly used for calf rearing, plus a large open-fronted straw/machinery storage building (constructed 2021). Borehole water and mains electricity serve the buildings, supporting immediate agricultural use.
The land is a mix of productive pasture, culm/purple moor grass (Colliers Moor) and about five acres of mature deciduous woodland, offering grazing, mowing and conservation value. The holding lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ) and a Less Favoured Area (LFA) and is currently entered into a Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) agreement, which may suit continued farming or conservation-focused management.
Planning consents exist for the straw/machinery storage building (ref 72255) and the poultry rearing building (ref 62753). Prospective buyers must note an outstanding planning enforcement notice requiring removal of a mobile home on site and removal of an extension to the storage building; these matters will require action after purchase. The location is remote with very low crime, no mobile signal and very slow broadband — appropriate for buyers prepared for an off-grid rural lifestyle or farm operator seeking land and buildings rather than a connected residential base.
Oaklands is suited to an agricultural business, investor or buyer seeking a large rural holding with immediate stock-building capabilities and scope for diversification. The property offers clear operational value but also practical obligations (enforcement works, NVZ restrictions and limited communications) that should be factored into plans.
