Whitestone village has a church, village hall and bus service, the close by village of Tedburn St Mary offers a village shop, primary school and public house.

Description
Ramslade Farm is quietly situated nestling on the upper slopes of the valley with spectacular views across rolling countryside towards the Exe Estuary and beyond. The bungalow and farm buildings are set at the end of their own private driveway. The bungalow, constructed in the late 1980s, is perfectly habitable but would benefit from being modernised throughout. The four bedroom property provides functional accommodation with fantastic views over the valley and adjoining farmland. The bungalow was constructed further to planning consent reference 85/02740/OUT and 86/01848/REM and is subject to an Agricultural Occupancy Condition (further details available on enquiry).
There are a range of modern farm buildings all in one block extending to approx. 6,320 square feet (587.19 sq m), with water and 3 phase electricity connected and suitable for housing livestock, storing feedstuffs or workshops. Class Q planning consent has been approved for conversion of the barns into a single dwelling, planning consent reference 24/01241/NPA, a betterment application could be submitted to create an energy efficient new build dwelling instead. The property is all set within a ring fence and extends in total to 24.71 acres including pasture, a small woodland and an amenity pond providing a haven for wildlife – regular visitors include herons and kingfishers.

The property is ring-fenced with mostly mature hedgerows and sheep fencing, boundaries mostly marked ‘away’. There are no public rights of way affecting the property. The productive land is all currently down to pasture, but we are advised that the previous owners grew swedes in the upper most fields and that these may be suitable for other arable crops. Given the topography and orientation of the farm, there may be opportunities to explore solar arrays (STP).
