Summary - Lower Ebsworthy Town Farm, Bridestowe EX20 4QQ
9 bed 5 bath Farm
242 acres, two period houses and established planning consents — strong farming and income potential.
242 acre ring‑fenced livestock and arable farm, organic conversion underway
A rare, ring‑fenced 242‑acre livestock and arable farm on the edge of Bridestowe, offering two substantial period houses, extensive modern and traditional buildings, and productive pasture and arable land now in organic conversion. The holding includes c.37 acres of woodland, two wildlife ponds and long‑distance views across Dartmoor to Cornwall. Several recent planning consents — including a 16,000‑bird free‑range egg unit and flexible change‑of‑use consents — add clear income and development potential.
The principal house (five bedrooms) and a substantial four‑bed farmhouse together provide comfortable on‑site accommodation for family or staff. Both houses are stone built with oil-fired heating and double glazing installed post‑2002; gardens, parking and private boreholes serve the residences. The yard and building cluster include a mix of large steel‑frame livestock and general purpose buildings, traditional stone barns and ample hardstanding suitable for large machinery and lorry access.
Commercially the farm is well placed: easy access to the A30, proximity to Okehampton and Tavistock, and existing consents that could be progressed for agricultural production, storage or flexible commercial uses. Woodland offers potential timber income and the land’s layout and fencing make it immediately workable for grazing, cropping and diversification projects such as a farm shop, café or holiday enterprise subject to consents.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: mains broadband speeds are very slow despite good mobile signal; both houses have relatively low EPC ratings and heating is oil‑fired; stone external walls are assumed uninsulated; parts of the estate require ongoing maintenance. The site is offered freehold with sporting rights and several consents already granted, making it suitable for an operational farming buyer or investor seeking a workingholding with development upside.
