Summary - LABDON FARM WEMBWORTHY CHULMLEIGH EX18 7RL
4 bed 2 bath Land
Large productive farm with cottages, barns and development scope.
276.04 acres freehold arable, pasture and 52 acres broadleaf woodland
Labdon Farm is a substantial freehold arable and pasture holding of 276.04 acres (111.71 ha) set above the Taw Valley with private, south-facing gardens and far-reaching rural views. The attractive stone Labdon House (c.1858) extends to 3,553 sq ft with period features, hardwood double glazing and oil-fired central heating; two self-contained holiday cottages have planning for holiday use and have been let in the past. An immaculate enclosed courtyard of traditional stone barns, a modern agricultural storage building and additional smaller barns provide versatile space and subject-to-consent development potential.
This is a productive Grade 3 farm with about 218 acres actively farmed, around 52 acres of native broadleaf woodland and established water sources (three wells). Practical benefits include mains electricity, private water, Klargester drainage with capacity for 12 units, and an Airband mast serving the estate. Some buildings already have consents (holiday cottage use; barn-to-light-industrial conversion; modern farm building) which will suit a buyer seeking agricultural income, holiday rental potential or adaptive reuse of traditional buildings.
Buyers should note material issues: the main house has an EPC Band F, primary heating is oil-fired (with some wood-burner options), and historic stone walls are assumed uninsulated. Broadband is very slow (standard 0.5–3 Mbps despite the Airband mast), and parts of the courtyard have corrugated roofing and will require maintenance. The land is within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and the holding is currently let on a Farm Business Tenancy ending 25 March 2025 (three-month landlord break clause).
Labdon Farm will suit purchasers seeking a large, private rural estate with active agricultural potential, holiday-let income and scope for barn conversions or ancillary enterprise. The property offers immediate possession of the dwellings and buildings on completion and a rare opportunity to buy a ring-fenced, versatile Mid Devon farm with direct access to the Tarka Line and local services in Chulmleigh.
