Sandford Crediton, EX17

Lot 1 - A well positioned spacious 5-bedroom farmhouse with additional 2-bedroom annexe, traditional stone barns with full planning permission for conversion to 2 dwellings all set in approximately 4.96 acres (2.01 hectares)

Introduction
Occupying a peaceful and private location, Welland Down Farm is a secluded small farm offering potential for agricultural, equestrian, environmental, or rural enterprise use, subject to any necessary consents. Centred around a character farmhouse and range of buildings, the property provides versatile accommodation to suit a variety of lifestyle and business opportunities.

The farmhouse has spacious accommodation offering flexibility with 4/5 bedrooms in the main farmhouse and an additional 2 bedrooms in the separate annexe with its own parking, access, garden, kitchen and living areas. This provides the possibility for multigenerational living or the potential for additional income through letting or holiday rentals (subject to planning). Adjacent to the farmhouse and gardens is a courtyard surrounded by two stone barns and a timber frame car port. These barns have full planning permission for conversion to two dwellings presenting further opportunities for additional family space or income.

In addition to the courtyard is a further stone barn situated on the access lane with full planning permission for conversion to a one-bedroom dwelling. Below this is a range of larger modern agricultural sheds which until recently were utilised for livestock housing and storage of fodder and equipment.

The farmstead is set in the heart of the land which provides space and countryside views all around. The productive arable and pasture land surrounds the farmstead and is fully accessible via the owned access track. The woodland runs along the southern boundary of the property and though it is a young woodland it boasts potential amenity and environmental value.

Situation
Welland Down Farm is situated between the rural villages of Sandford and Kennerleigh, providing access to village shops, post office, public houses, primary school, church and village hall. Wider facilities can be found approximately 4 miles south in the market town of Crediton, offering further primary schools, secondary schools, leisure facilities, supermarkets, local butchers, pharmacies, cafes and public houses. Surrounding Crediton are a number of popular garden centres and farm shops.

The farm is conveniently located 5 miles from the A377 running from Barnstaple to Exeter City. Both provide a wide range of retail, recreational and commercial facilities. Exeter provides two mainline railway stations (London Paddington 2 hours 10 minutes and Waterloo 3 hours 15 minutes). Exeter also benefits from an International Airport located to the east of the city.

The town of Tiverton is located 13.7 miles northeast with a wide range of facilities including independent Blundells School and access to the M5 and North Devon Link Road.
