This property is perfect for those seeking privacy and tranquillity or an opportunity to develop an equestrian estate, glamping retreat, fishery, or rural business venture.

Outside

Ford Mill Farm sits within approximately 8.75 acres of largely level grounds that are kept to a very high standard. The grounds are all conveniently situated within the boundary of the property and there is a high degree of privacy to be enjoyed. Opposite the house is a block of 3 stables which measure 14' x 12', 13'4 x 11'5 and 13'8 x 12'3 - 1 of which has been turned into a training room. Attached to this is an old stone Barn which measures 60' x 17'. There is plentiful parking to suit the largest of families as well as guests for the holiday lets. In addition to the Outbuildings is a Double Garage with a Store and a 40' x 40' partially constructed Barn. The sweeping lawns provide an exceptional space to be enjoyed and there is a lake for fishing enthusiasts which is registered with certification in place. The River Torridge forms the southern border. There are a variety of areas to be enjoyed with much of the ground being bordered by a gentle river. There is so much scope to these grounds that they really need to be explored to be fully appreciated but our aerial photos and videos will give a good indication.

Useful Information

An income of approximately £400 a year is also generated from them. We have taken some photos of the commercial listings of these holiday properties and have added them to our current listing. It should be noted that the Kitchen worktop surfaces have been upgraded since the photos were taken. Both of the holiday properties have outside spaces of their own. A brand new air source heat pump (2024) has been installed at the property along with radiators and a hot water cylinder. A new Starlink internet receiver has recently been installed at the house.
