Why buy a smallholding in Devon
Devon is grass and livestock country. 76% of its farmed land is grass, across 8,291 commercial holdings running about 532,000 cattle and 1,138,000 sheep. For a smallholding that means grazing to let or take nearby, working livestock markets, and neighbours who farm.
Dartmoor National Park, Exmoor National Park, and 5 National Landscapes including Blackdown Hills and East Devon protect part of Devon, which keeps the countryside you are buying into as it is. Building or converting inside a protected landscape needs more care, and inside a National Park the park authority, not the council, decides planning.
Planning is decided by 10 councils in Devon, so rules on agricultural occupancy conditions and barn conversions vary by district. Our guides cover what to check before you offer.
