In a secluded position set well back off Staplehill Road, Gorse Blossom Farm is an impressive five bedroom one-off family home.
In the last 20 years, the house has been remodelled and enlarged from the original farmhouse, and provides a wonderful family home of impressive proportions with some far reaching rural views.
The gardens and grounds are equally impressive with large expanses of lawn, various seating areas and a mixed woodland together with a useful range of outbuildings. The whole site extends to approximately 1.97 acres, as measured on Pro-map.
For those seeking additional land there is a field/paddock of approximately 1.98 acres (as measured on Promap) and a further 1.61 acres (as measured on Promap) of deciduous woodland with dilapidated open-fronted farm building, and independent road access, available to purchase by separate negotiation - please contact our offices for further details.
Staplehill Road is situated on the outskirts of Liverton, south of the A38, in a semi-rural yet extremely convenient spot. Local amenities within walking distance include two pubs, the excellent Blackpool primary school, Stover independent school for children 3-18, Liverton Post Office/general stores and Trago Mills shopping centre.
The A38 at Drumbridges provides quick, easy access to Exeter and Plymouth, and Dartmoor National Park is just a few minutes drive away. Public paths/bridle ways give access to good walking country including to the Stover Nature Reserve.
