This “substantial” farm for sale in the Teign Valley includes a medieval farmhouse and nearly 100 acres of land.

Reed Farm, on the edge of Christow village, is available for the first time in more than half a century.

The property includes a Grade II listed Devon longhouse surrounded by a collection of traditional stone outbuildings, pasture and woodland, extending to over 97 acres in total.

The property is situated on the edge of the village of Christow, and enjoys an elevated setting with views across the Teign Valley to Haldon Belvedere.

Reed Farm is being offered to the market for sale as a whole or in three lots.

Lot one includes Reed Farmhouse, a range of traditional and modern outbuildings and approximately 8.31 acres.

Reed Farmhouse is a “quintessential” late medieval farmhouse constructed of rendered cob on stone footings under a slate roof. The farmhouse was altered in the 1970s whilst retaining many of its historic features, such as exposed stone walls, timber beams and fireplaces. The windows were replaced in 2019 and at the same time the owners were granted listed building consent to replace the existing kitchen with a new extension and reconfigure the layout.

The outbuildings offer versatility for agricultural, storage, workshop or equestrian purposes, with potential (STP) for change of use. The fields surrounding Reed Farmhouse offer privacy and protection and have been used in the past for grazing and leisure and are equally well-suited for conservation use.

Lot two comprises approximately 78.21 acres of pasture and woodland, bordered by a council-maintained road to the south of the property. This road leads from the farm to the three reservoirs (Kennick, Tottiford and Trenchford) – one of which includes trout fishing. The land is divided into well-defined and useful field sizes with mature hedgerows, and has been used purely for agricultural use, predominantly for the grazing of livestock.

The combination of pasture and woodland across various terrain creates an environment suited to a rich biodiversity and offers potential for conservation, rewilding, or sustainable land management initiatives.

Lot three encompasses two well-maintained enclosures down to pasture land, both with direct road access, of approximately 10.62 acres. The land is bordered by forestry and mature woodland and is well-suited to agriculture, conservation or purely amenity use.
