SITUATION

Hareston Farm Barns were built for large-scale farm production by the Plymouth Cooperative Society in 1908 to provide and promote good food at fairer prices. The Society was experiencing rapid growth in the late 19th Century and in 1903 Plymouth Cooperative Society purchased Hareston Farm (149 acres) to help with ever-increasing demands. Characteristic local stone was used in the construction, with brick quoins and occasional granite dressings. The farm is no longer in use and the barns were converted to a high specification starting from 2019 into 14 luxury residential homes.
Set within the rolling hills of the South Hams, the two villages of Brixton and Yealmpton are each within a five minute drive and offer a range of services including small shops, farm shop, health centre, pubs, garden centre, Post Offices, churches and primary schools. The A38 South Devon Expressway is only a few minutes away, providing easy access to Plymouth and beyond. The beautiful beaches of the South Hams, such as Wembury and Mothecombe, and Dartmoor National Park are all within a 20 minute drive (approx.). Plymouth Sound offers a vast array of watersports such as kayaking, SUP, diving and deep water yacht marinas. The city of Plymouth offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, theatres, cinemas, mainline train station, continental ferry port and major hospital. The Tamar Bridge, the gateway to Cornwall, is just 15 minutes away.
