SITUATION & DESCRIPTION
Pennystone Farm is located in the highly sought after Westerlands part of Marldon on the edge of open countryside yet only a short drive from the centre of Paignton. Pennystone is a former barn which has been converted into a lovely family dwelling with imaginatively designed interior and a substantial, unconverted linney attached which is crying out for further development, subject renewal of lapsed planning consent.The property is accessed via its own private driveway with fields belonging on the left hand side and a duck pond and garden on the right. The 4 acres includes two large, modern, high quality agricultural barns, one of which contains 11 loose boxes, ideal for carrying on livery. An overage clause relating to the future development of the land and the modern detached agricultural buildings will be in place. Please contact the agents for further information.The accommodation in Pennystone has been designed to provide a practical, as well as an exciting place in which to live. There is a large living room overlooking the garden and a further winter lounge doubling as a music or family room. The kitchen is particularly well fitted and there is a large utililty room with WC off and direct access from outside. Pennystone is a wonderful opportunity for the person who wants a rural lifestyle with equestrian or \"good life\" opportunities coupled with the proximity of facilities. Marldon has everything you would expect in a thriving village. The coastal resort of Paignton is about 2 miles away and Torquay approximately 3 miles. The property is situated in the South Hams which has some of the most beautiful countryside in England. Historic Totnes is 4 miles distant. Once the Kingskersell by-pass/ Southern Link Road is completed there will be continual dual carriageway and motorway access to London and The Midlands starting half a mile from the property.
