ENVIRONMENTAL SCHEMES
The farmland currently receives Basic Payment. It is not subject to any stewardship agreement at the present time, although given the topography and the diversity of the holding, coupled with its amenity appeal, it is considered highly likely that it would be suitable for inclusion within such a scheme. Interested parties are however, invited to make their own enquiries in this respect.

The property is situated within the unspoilt and gently undulating countryside of West Somerset. Set just within the Exmoor National Park, the property occupies a private position adjacent to a ‘no through road’ which is shared by a handful of private residencies, farms and smallholdings. The popular village of Roadwater is the closest settlement, affording a good level of local amenities with its pub, shop and post office. More extensive facilities are available at the small town of Williton which lies to the north-east or alternatively, the favoured coastal resort of Minehead. To the south east lies Taunton, with a range of facilities befitting those of a county and regional centre, as well as providing mainline rail connections and access to the M5 (J25). In itself, the property occupies a position within the South West renowned for both the diversity of its countryside and, the many varied sporting and recreational facilities available either within the immediate locality or further afield.
