Description

Higher Lydacott Farm is a traditional mixed farm with two residential dwellings, a barn for conversion, and additional stone barns situated in a picturesque location with views of the River Taw estuary. The farm, which has been in the same family ownership for over 80 years, comprises 194.90 acres of land, including pasture and arable fields. The farmhouse, which is in need of modernization, features a characterful design with stone, cob, and brick construction, while the separate cottage offers potential for renovation. The farm's traditional barns, stables, and farm buildings offer opportunities for conversion to alternative uses, subject to planning consent. The property is located near the coastal village of Instow, with its renowned sandy beach, and is within easy driving distance of Barnstaple, Bideford, and North Devon's surfing beaches. The farm's land is classified as grade 3 with freely draining slightly acid loamy soils, making it suitable for a range of agricultural uses.
