A productive dairy farm in the heart of Mid-Devon with approximately 219 acres

Introduction - The farm is a productive ring fenced dairy farm, offering potential to continue to run as a dairy unit or to return to a mixed farming system of arable and livestock.

Currently the farms is run as an grass based autumn calving dairy unit, milking around 200 cows with potential to expand to 250 cows, subject to further investment. The dairy herd currently averages around 7,000 litres with butterfat over 5% and 4% protein. The current system grazes the whole farm and brings in maize and grass silage, from a combination of contract arrangements and cutting licences from local farmers. The cows are usually winter housed from around October through to early March.

The farm is currently down to long term grass leys, predominantly used for grazing with any surplus grass on the farm used for silage. Further details on the dairy herd and farming system is available from the Agents.

The principle residence is a thatched Devon Longhouse, retaining many of its original 16th Century features. The farmhouse is currently occupied in two parts but would make one comfortable family home. Planning consent exist for further ancillary accommodation.

A traditional stone barn has been converted to residential accommodation known as The Stables, which provides useful secondary accommodation/income potential.

The land is predominately free draining, fertile red soils capable of growing a wide variety of crops, while also providing quality grazing. Within the farm there are number of parcels of woodland which offer sporting and conservation appeal.
