Introduction

Offered to the market for the first time in 80 years, South Kingwell Farm extends to approximately 115.48 acres in all and presents an excellent opportunity to acquire an accessible farm within Dartmoor National Park. The farm is currently run as a mixed livestock holding with beef and sheep but may present scope for alternative uses of the traditional farm buildings, subject to necessary planning consents.

Accessed via private drive from the highway, the farmhouse is of granite construction beneath a rendered external finish, with a recently replaced natural slate pitched roof. The house requires a full scheme of renovation and updating but presents an exciting opportunity to restore it to a spacious and comfortable family home.

Located within the farmyard are a range of traditional stone buildings some with recently replaced slate roofs, which may present scope for conversion and alternative uses, subject to the necessary planning consents. There are three further timber framed livestock and general-purpose agricultural sheds to the north of the main farmyard, which have been utilised for housing livestock and storing farm machinery.

The land comprises a combination of permanent grassland suitable for grazing and mowing, mixed natural woodland and area of rough grazing with bracken running up to Hingston Rocks. Hingston Rocks located on the southern boundary is a designated rocky outcrop/tor, sitting high on a hill over 1,000 feet offering fantastic views across Dartmoor.

South Kingwell Farm is offered for sale as a whole or in up to 3 lots.
