Middle Garland is a rare smallholding in North Devon offering about 18.5 acres of parkland, paddocks, woodland and ponds, centred on a stone-built period farmhouse with a separate one-bedroom holiday cottage. The layout and range of traditional and modern outbuildings already support equestrian use, with three stables, a four-bay open-fronted shed, tack/feed rooms and a large double garage with workshop above. The property sits at the end of a private drive with long views and strong privacy — ideal for horse owners, nature lovers or buyers seeking an income stream from holiday lets.
The main house provides well-proportioned, characterful accommodation including a garden room with vaulted ceiling, stone fireplace and woodburning stoves, three double bedrooms and a newly fitted shower room. Deer Cott is a self-contained one-bedroom cottage with vaulted sitting room and woodburner; it already functions as holiday accommodation and could provide immediate income or annexe potential subject to necessary consents. There is scope to enlarge accommodation by linking spaces between the house and cottage, subject to planning.
Practical points should be weighed carefully: services include mains electricity, private borehole water, private drainage and oil central heating. Broadband and mobile coverage are limited in this remoter location (very slow/limited), and both cottages are on higher council tax bands. The land is ring-fenced into paddocks with stock-proof fencing, ponds and a small woodland; the current set-up is well suited to equestrian or smallholding use but will require ongoing maintenance of fencing, water features and outbuildings.
This is a property for buyers who prioritise privacy, land and versatility over immediate urban convenience. It offers a combination of lifestyle, income potential and equestrian facilities in a scenic Devon location, but requires acceptance of rural utilities, potential planning work for conversion/extension, and typical maintenance responsibilities of an older stone-built smallholding.
