The Stock Barn is to be divided into two spacious three-bedroom dwellings of approximately 1,286 sq ft each, both enjoying far-reaching views across the land and surrounding countryside.

The Tall Barn offers the opportunity to create a striking detached three-bedroom home of around 1,205 sq ft, also positioned to capture stunning open views.

The Wooden Barn, set slightly away from the main group, provides for a charming detached one-bedroom dwelling of approximately 592 sq ft, offering a secluded living environment.



THE LAND
Set within approximately 17.6 acres, Raeleigh enjoys an elevated position with far-reaching views across the surrounding countryside, offering a peaceful and private setting immersed in nature.
Part of the land has been managed under a Countryside Stewardship scheme, enhancing wildlife habitats, biodiversity and overall landscape character, while the holding is currently divided into a number of paddocks with stock-proof fencing.

The land has been managed without chemicals for a number of years encouraging biodiversity of grass and hedgerow species, with the majority of the boundary hedges having been traditionally laid. Most of the larger paddocks benefit from a water supply via automated self-filling troughs

Notes
There is a historic right of access for South West Water to access the land by the Wooden Barn – The owners have confirmed that this has not been used since their ownership and we understand relates to their former ownership of the bottom meadow field. The former SWW pump house and brick reservoir which are still in the meadow field are now owned by Raeleigh.
