Bere Ferrers, Devon, PL20

A Beautifully Presented Period Farmhouse with Equestrian Facilities and Breathtaking Views - Set in Complete Seclusion

Tucked away in the Devon countryside, this individual farmhouse is set over three levels and enjoys far-reaching views across the Tamar Valley National Landscape. A thoughtful blend of period character and modern detail with excellent equestrian facilities. 

 
Accommodation
Originally a traditional farmhouse and adjoining barn, this remarkable home has been lovingly converted to preserve its history while introducing high-quality modern finishes throughout. A wealth of exposed beams, vaulted ceilings, and rich wooden floors showcases the building’s heritage.

The dining room is a particularly charming space, centred around the original bread oven and a classic Esse range.

The bespoke kitchen, thoughtfully designed and renovated by the current owners, balances practicality with style. It features a limestone floor, an electric range-style Everhot, A, and exceptional attention to detail throughout. A stable door opens to a sheltered suntrap, perfect for a quiet morning coffee, while bifold doors lead directly onto a generous stone patio, ideal for alfresco dining and entertaining in the warmer months.

The home also offers two further sitting areas, a cosy snug and a sitting room, both with log-burning stoves and countryside views, creating relaxed, comfortable spaces to unwind with family or guests.

A practical boot room/utility space makes countryside living easy, providing essential storage for coats, muddy boots, and laundry.

Set over three floors, the layout provides flexibility. The top floor hosts a superb suite, complete with triple-aspect Velux windows, a spacious double bedroom, ensuite shower room, and a dressing area. Additional bedrooms are arranged across the middle floor, offering ample space for family, guests, or multi-generational living.

 
Outside
The property offers several patio areas, thoughtfully installed by the current owners, providing a choice of sunny and sheltered spots throughout the day. One includes a bespoke BBQ area, ideal for entertaining. The well-maintained lawned gardens are complemented by established flower beds and traditional stone boundary walls.

There is ample driveway parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to three garages and two carports. Close to the house is a mature orchard with a variety of fruit trees, a pond, and a greenhouse.

 
The Estate & Equestrian Facilities
Set within 9.6 acres, the property is perfectly suited to an equestrian lifestyle, smallholding, or other business ventures. The land includes:

• A professionally constructed sand and fibre menage (45m x 25m)
• Stables, a tack room, additional undercover space, and a large hardstanding
• A substantial stone barn, formerly the estate's original dairy, now offering exciting conversion potential (STPP)—ideal for a family annexe or income-generating holiday accommodation
• A large modern barn, perfect for storage, livestock, or possible use as an indoor arena
• Two further farm outbuildings, once used for livestock, highlighting the potential for a productive smallholding

 
Location
Set on the edge of the peaceful village of Bere Ferrers, the property enjoys an enviable position amid some of Devon’s most spectacular countryside and waterways, all within the protected Tamar Valley National Landscape.

Within easy reach are the River Tavy, Weir Quay, and Lopwell Dam, ideal for paddleboarding, sailing, or quiet riverside walks. For explorers, the nearby Tamar Trails, Dartmoor National Park, and both the Devon and Cornish coastlines offer endless opportunities for outdoor adventure.

Bere Ferrers itself is a friendly and well-connected village, featuring a welcoming local pub and train station on the Tamar Valley Line, less than a mile from the property, with scenic connections to Plymouth.

For day-to-day needs, the neighbouring village of Bere Alston offers schooling, local shops, and essential amenities.

Fine dining and indulgence are close at hand with renowned destinations including Hotel Endsleigh, a beautifully restored Regency retreat set in ornamental gardens; The Bedford Hotel; and acclaimed eateries such as The Cornish Arms and The Blacksmiths Arms.

The historic market town of Tavistock, just a short drive away, brings together the best of town and country living, with artisan shops, independent boutiques, supermarkets, and a vibrant local culture. The town also offers a wide range of leisure facilities, cultural events, and the celebrated Pannier Market.

Families are well served by access to outstanding education, including the highly regarded Mount Kelly School, known for academic excellence, a nurturing ethos, and first-class sporting facilities.

Despite its deeply rural character, Stone Farm is remarkably well connected. With regular rail services to Plymouth and excellent road links across the South West, it offers the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility, an ideal retreat for those seeking a peaceful lifestyle without compromise.
