Soldon Cross, Sutcombe

With 16.4 acres, large agricultural outbuildings, a large yard and, a large detached, 5 bedroom home – one could do quite a lot here at Shilland Cottage Farm. Once a productive family owned and run dairy farm, the property is a great prospect for any and all looking for a small enterprise, an equestrian haven, or want to keep specialised pets, or even just to protect the gorgeous views as the land is ring fenced and stretched behind and wraps around the property. That is definitely one of the unique selling points here. Others include the topography. Being gently sloping and with long levels up to the Northerly boundary and with multiple access points, the current three fields could be divided even further to aid with grazing and rotation. There is a stream border to the Southerly boundary which aids with drainage.

Other considerations include the prospect for conversion of the largest barn at the South of the property. Approaching 4,200 sq ft. it could make a substantial dwelling (subject to the usual planning permissions) although initial enquiries have been made and appear favourable. The main residence requires modernisation throughout. The afore mentioned barn could offer an alternative main residence or, could be sold with planning permission to finance the updating in the current home. With five bedrooms on the first floor, there are endless options to help configure the first floor to suit your needs and to add bathrooms, if required. The ground floor already features a large kitchen, walk-in pantry and cloaks/utility room as well as two further reception rooms. Alternatively the home could be updated and possibly let out after any conversion of the barn - for either income or of course, it could allow multi-generational family living separately, together. The possibilities are endless, thankfully.

The convenience of parking either in the yard, on the driveway (in front of the double garage) or behind the property by Barn 3 along with the afore mentioned road access points to the adjoining land, does further cement this idea that the property could be divided to suit your particular use and need. The road itself is busier at rush hours nowadays and there is the inevitable wannabe racing driver on occasion to spoil the otherwise tranquil situation. When in the home, the road can be heard (particularly when wet) but modern windows fitted should negate most of that. Many of the outbuildings require maintenance and some investment, but are largely dry and very useable.

I suppose it really is down to your needs and how you would utilise the land and all the other attributes. The versatility here, should offer most applications exactly what they need to make this a fantastic home and or, business. Should you require a smaller amount of land, the vendors are willing to consider retaining some land, if not required. The only true way to establish if this rare offering could work for you is to come and see it. With No Chain, and viewing available immediately, we invite you to take some time to visit.
