Is this a bit like the game where you have a card stuck to your forehead and you have to guess the person written on it.
My turn, A6 , Wigton road, or fellside to Brampton ?
I think if you read my first post, it's coming up for sale, not on the market as such yet, and no agent to put a link of the property, so as for now I don't want to go public, until the vendor goes public

We farmed within a mile of this farm upto 6 years ago, superb ground, used to be heavily involved with swede. Would be a cracking farm, big herd of N Devon cattle ran the ground. Big dairy unit next door would chase I expect.
And the very big dairy/arable and large scale contracting outfit just up the road a couple of miles will more than likely be intrested in it as well.

I'd be amazed if they hadn't bid already. Bolts on to another unit not too far away from there
Talking to land agent Friday, and they feel their not under selling , farm locally was on the market for 3 million for 290 acres (good sheep farm) , I thought that it was too expensive, well sold in 10 days and had to go for sealed bidder in the end for why more than the land agent thought

I think it'll sail past the asking price. Not far from Crediton and theres houses going up all the time in that area plus it comes with 5 to sell on. Cracking growing area too.

Hope you have better luck than we've had, neighbours and changed his mind and not going to sell currently 🙈, so back on the market to look again, if anyone wants to sell a 250 to 500 dairy unit suitable for spring calving anywherein the soutwest or Dumfries and Galloway, drop me a PM 👍

Been viewing a few places this week in North Devon/Somerset with family, everyone we have spoken to is saying everything is selling 15-20% over the guide price

Theres a lot of Autumn calvers in the area for that reason. I was surprised how dry and free draining the area is but can attract the cold too so spring may not be the earliest.
Ideal for maize we found but not great for early grass, ground bow side would be more fertile than crediton Exeter side.
