Property description
Derval Farm is a 147.06 acre farm situated in a ring fence. At the heart of the farmstead is Derval Farmhouse, a south facing two storey traditional farmhouse providing three bedrooms, with considerable potential to improve and extend either into the loft or into the attached single storey traditional farm building. The house is in need of renovation and provides a blank canvas for creating a very special property. It is centrally heated and double glazed throughout. To the south of the farmstead is a two storey traditional barn, again south facing and with views over the farm towards Drift Reservoir and Mounts Bay. This uninterrupted view would give good scope for a dwelling (subject to planning) if the barn were to be converted. The farmstead also provides a general range of smaller traditional buildings and more modern portal framed and open fronted livestock sheds.

OLD FARMSTEAD

LAND
Extending to approximately 147.06 acres of which it could be broken down into the following:-
23.29 acres currently in arable.
75.40 acres currently in good pasture leys capable of tillage.
39.26 acres rough grazing and heath, woodland with flight pond.
The land is a complete mixed range, commonplace with farms in this area, being south facing and capable of growing good crops of grass and with the arable fields capable of double cropping and growing specialist niche crops. The heathland and poorer rough grazing lends itself to Environmental Stewardship Schemes.
TENURE
Freehold and with vacant possession with the exception of approximately 78.21 acres is let on a three year Farm Business Tenancy which commenced on 1st January 2015. The tenant will however provide vacant possession as at 29/09/16 if so required. Rent is payable on 1st June and 1st December in each year. Full details available from the agents Liskeard office.
BASIC PAYMENT SCHEME
The farm has not been used in recent years for the claiming of Basic Payment Scheme or Single Farm Payment entitlements. We have assumed the land is not registered but the tenants of the Farm Business Tenancy area may well have registered the land for claiming entitlements, any entitlements would be the possession of the Tenants and subsequently the farm is not offered with any entitlements.
ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP SCHEME
The farm is not within any Environmental Stewardship Scheme, but would lend itself to such schemes and grants.
