Lower Knapp Farm is a wonderfully peaceful holiday retreat - a farm which has been imaginatively converted to holiday use as cottages and apartments. It is situated in the delightful Roncombe Valley, two miles from Sidbury, a picturesque East Devon village of thatched cottages. The elegant Victorian seaside resort of Sidmouth is five miles away and the busy market town of Honiton, famous for its antique shops, is five miles to the north.

Here you are in an ideal location to discover Devon, a county as varied as it is verdant. Its huge tracts of fertile farmland are the source for its famous clotted cream and equally celebrated cider. Dartmoor National Park is both magnificent and mysterious; and Devon's golden sandy beaches are blessed by more than their share of sunshine. Overlooked by most holidaymakers, East Devon is a particularly charming area - a land of rolling, wooded hills and valleys, of spectacular coastlines, bustling market towns and quaint, welcoming villages.

Site

The 16 properties have been sympathetically converted from a substantial Victorian farmhouse and outbuildings to provide a range of comfortable cottages and apartments, and facilities include an indoor swimming pool, sauna, clubroom and children's play area.

The area has a lot to offer with horse riding and 2 golf courses within 10 minutes drive. Fishing is widely available locally with sea fishing from Beer and Exmouth. For walkers and ramblers the south west coastal path between Exmouth and Lyme Regis is a must, while the East Devon Way runs through the farm itself.

Exclusive holidays for life

An initial payment from £5,000 and a quarterly fee of under £38 (that is around £150 a year), which can increase in line with but not exceed the Retail Price Index Excluding Mortgage Interest (RPIX), gives you access to all HPB’s holiday homes. For each HPB holiday, you will pay a no-profit user charge covering only property running and maintenance costs and use of on-site facilities. The average charge is the same throughout the year, and for a studio is around £360 a week and £540 for a two bedroom property. Larger properties are also available. After an initial charge of 25% your money is invested in a fund of holiday properties and securities. The fund itself meets annual charges of 2.5% of its net assets at cost, calculated monthly. Your investment return is purely in the form of holidays and, as with most investments, your capital is at risk. You can surrender your investment to the company after two years or more (subject to deferral in exceptional circumstances) but you will get back less than you invested because of the charges referred to above, as well as other overheads and changes in the value of the fund’s properties and securities.
