Ritson Farm

Family home, tranquil setting, abundant wildlife.

Ritson Farm wraps its arms around the abundance of wildlife, with a garden that welcomes many species of birds feeding from the numerous feeders surrounding the property. With a neighbouring field of donkeys and chickens, what is there not to love? Enjoying simply stunning views of the surrounding countryside and ample space for all the family to eat al fresco, or in those chillier evenings take advantage of the family dining area and beautiful conservatory. Ritson Farm really is an amazing find for big family holidays in South Devon, it is within easy reach of Totnes and Dartmouth which in turn lends itself to exploring the English Riviera. Woodlands Leisure Park is only a five-minute drive away with the award-winning beaches of Blackpool Sands and Bantham in close proximity.

Ritson Farm has been a farm for nearly 300 years with the original farmhouse based in the nearby valley before it burnt down pre-1848. After burning down it was replaced with Ritson Barton which you can see on the way through the old farm when arriving at the property. Just after the Second World War, the new Ritson Farm was built which was latterly a dairy farm with Jersey and Guernsey cows. It now stands majestically in grounds that simply encourage you to stop, relax, unwind and make memories!

With its versatile bedrooms, cosy sitting room with access to the outside, and wonderful kitchen space there is plenty of room for everyone. With the owner having a workshop on nearby land and working as a most talented carpenter you will see many traits of his craftsmanship in the house. Indeed the window frames in the entrance hall are created from old ramps originating from the Dartmouth Lower Ferry and the kitchen island worktop has been made from a chestnut tree which had fallen locally.

A well-behaved dog is welcome. An EV charger is available for you, but please bring your own cable. We ask that make a contribution to the cost of charging your car. You’ll find an ‘honesty tin’ in the kitchen.
