LOCATION & AMENITIES
Upcott Barton offers 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.
