Description

A recently built stable block with eight loose boxes, three foaling boxes, tack room, store, hay barn and shepherd's hut, set in approx. 5.4 acres of south facing, gently sloping pasture, divided into two paddocks with far-reaching views across Dartmoor National Park.

The current owner has used the property as a pony stud, and in April 2024 Planning Permission was granted on appeal for the material change of use of the land from an equine use to a mixed use of equine and residential use and the siting of a shepherd's hut. The permission is granted for a three year, temporary period, and the occupation of the shepherd's hut is limited to a person employed in an equestrian business. The permission was granted under Appeal Decision Reference APP/J9497/C/23/3326723.

The property lies in the heart of the Dartmoor National Park, some four miles from Ashburton which provides a range of local shops and amenities. A wider range of facilities are provided by Newton Abbot and there is easy access on to the A38 dual carriageway which connects to the M5 motorway. The property is accessed off Elliots Hill Lane, along a right of way over a private driveway and the entrance to the property is through a private gateway.
