Belstone, Okehampton Guide Price £560,000

The property is located on a quiet lane located between the much sought after Dartmoor village of Belstone and the town of Okehampton. Belstone offers an attractive centre for walking and riding on Dartmoor and benefits from a pretty Parish Church. The village boasts a thriving cricket club, pub and an active social scene, with excellent access to the A30 providing links westwards to the beaches of Cornwall and eastwards towards the regional capital of Exeter with its extensive range of services.

The market town of Okehampton is about 3 miles to the west. Okehampton lies on the northern edge of the Dartmoor National Park. The shopping area contains banks and supermarkets including a Waitrose as well as many interesting locally owned shops. Primary and secondary education is well catered for in local schools. The recreation ground and park have good facilities including a covered heated swimming pool. Most sports are available including 18-hole golf course, tennis and squash courts, and thriving rugby and football clubs. The train station offers services into central Exeter where connections are available up to London Paddington.

Westlake Farm is an historic site probably dating back hundreds of years but which has been unoccupied for many years. The land has been used for livestock throughout this time but the buildings have not seen active use in many a year. Originally comprising a far larger farm it is being split into smaller Lots with additional land potentially being available by separate negotiation. From the lane a copper beech tree-lined driveway leads up past a small barn to the main parking area in front of the old farmhouse, a two storey stone house, with two far larger substantial stone barns located to either side. All the barns and buildings are in need of extensive repair but offer great potential subject to any necessary consents.

The buildings approximate external measurements are: House 19m x 9m, Upper Barn 16m x 6m and 7m x 7m, Lower Barn 20m x 6m, Hay Barn 13m x 4m. The location feels particularly private with all the main barns looking out over agricultural land and garden. Subject to planning the site would provide an exciting development opportunity, either for a single dwelling with outbuildings or multiple dwellings.

To the northern side of the drive and parking area there is an open field of 1.78 acres adjoining the main yard with mature trees and hedging. This leads to a small stream with an overgrown strip of land extending to 0.62 acres which adjoins the council lane. Adjoining the driveway is an area of scrubland bound by mature trees extending to 0.58 acres. If the buildings were to be all converted to dwellings there is potential for the land to also be split. The whole plot extends to 3.76 acres including the farm buildings.
