Property description

DESCRIPTION
Upcott Barton and Stockgate Farm is an amalgam of two holdings farmed as one by the same family for many decades. 

The farm extends in total to 342.64 acres of prime land comprising a mixture of arable, pasture and woodland.  The land is split between organic and conventionally farmed ground.   The majority of the land has good road frontage and access to either natural or mains water.   Our Vendors have undertaken recent expenditure in significant fencing and new gates across the farm. 

The farm hosts two farmsteads; Upcott Barton at its core, Stockgate Farmhouse on the south western flank.

Upcott Barton Farmhouse is a five bedroom house in a private setting with pretty views over the farm.   Nestled within the core of the ring fenced acreage it is conveniently located to service the farm, with outriding across the farm and on the quiet country roads. 

Grade II*, mentioned in the Doomsday Book and referred to by the Reverend Baring-Gould (local 17th Century novelist and scholar) in his 1890 work on country houses, Upcott Barton is full of charm and character.

Stockgate Farmhouse (PL15 9SN) is a four bedroom detached two storey dwelling, subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition.

 LOCATION & AMENITIES
Upcott Barton and Stockgate Farm offer a rare opportunity to acquire a large acreage in a ring fence within a prime livestock rearing district. 

Upcott Barton Farmhouse forms the farmstead, which is nestled in the core of the ring fence.  The farm has no public rights of way crossing it,  but has a quiet intersecting Parish road through its centre offering an ‘away from it all’ atmosphere and peaceful outriding from the farm.  

The nearby villages of St. Giles-On-The-Heath, Broadwoodwidger and Lifton provide a range of local facilities including shops, post office, primary schools and public houses.   

The dramatic North Cornish coast with its sandy beaches and surfing hotspots is a short distance away and in the opposite direction are the wide open spaces for walking and riding upon Bodmin Moor and Dartmoor.    To the south are the hidden treasures of the Tamar Valley steeped in 18th Century mining history.   Roadford Reservoir is nearby with its lakeside café and water sports centre. 

The former market town of Launceston is the nearest town providing a full range of social, recreational and shopping facilities.  There are good private schools at Launceston, Tavistock and Truro. 

At Launceston the A30 spine road enables prompt access throughout Cornwall and Devon and links with the M5 motorway network eastwards at Exeter (a further 37 miles) which provides good road, rail and airport links throughout the country.  

The market town of Holsworthy, to the north has recently developed a new Livestock Market and there are other livestock markets at Hallworthy Stockyard and Exeter. 

Holsworthy and Launceston also provide machinery dealerships, feed mills and agricultural merchants.

 

Just over the border to the west in Cornwall are a large sheep abattoir and large cattle abattoir.  Those looking at a large ring fenced acreage for the possibility of green field dairying should note the
Davidstow Milk Factory is only 21 miles away.
