  • Available for the first time in over 40 years, Undercleave is a superb mixed agricultural and sporting farm, situated in a beautiful and peaceful location in a horseshoe of the River Torridge which flows along the boundary of the property.

    Undercleave lies at the end of a council maintained road and is a fascinating and unique ring fenced private farm centred around an attractive period family home surrounded by an wonderful collection of traditional outbuildings. The traditional buildings provide opportunities for a myriad of other uses including equestrian, hobbies, studios and offices (stp). The immediate grounds and gardens are well established stocked gardens with a walled garden and terrace to enjoy al fresco dining beyond which are lawns, an orchard and a pond. In addition there are useful range of versatile modern farm buildings.

    The house and buildings are surrounded by productive pastureland and meadows that run down to the River Torridge. The land rises behind the house and includes a wonderful broadleaved wooded area above which there is a level plateau of productive arable land. For the equine enthusiast there is stabling and excellent outriding. The current owners have let the shooting on an annual basis.

    A particular feature of Undercleave is that it is mainly contained within a horseshoe of the River Torridge, forming a beautiful natural boundary and providing endless opportunities for wild swimming, kayaking and fishing from the river bank as it winds past the farm.

    Situated at the end of the private drive and central to its land, Undercleave enjoys a protected position. The non-listed house is constructed with rendered elevations under a slate roof with period features and well-proportioned reception rooms, bedrooms and a conservatory. Views from the house extend over the farm in all directions and down across river meadows to the Torridge. On the first floor, the property comprises three double bedrooms, one single bedroom and a large family bathroom.
