A substantial block of level and gently undulating productive agricultural land benefiting from track access and enjoying a readily accessible rural position.
In all about 74.62 Acres

This sale represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a superb parcel of productive agricultural land occupying a convenient and readily accessible rural position lying between Buckland Brewer and Parkham. The land is contained within one large ring fenced block and divided into a number of convenient and manageable enclosures, with the majority currently sown to high yielding cutting/grazing grass leys. Right of way track access will be provided to the land with a further hard stone track serving most of the fields. A small area of conservation land in the south west corner, incorporates a wildlife pond, with field NG 6940 providing an attractive habitat comprising purple moor grass and rush pasture. Field parcels NG. 6940, 8144, 8142 and Pt 7457 have been entered into a Higher Level Stewardship Agreement.
The land is primarily level and gently undulating, more moderately sloping in parts along the southern boundary where it runs down to a small stream which provides some natural watering. The majority of the fields enjoy a southerly aspect.
The land is well suited to fodder production and livestock grazing, although it may also have potential for arable cropping and/or other agricultural enterprises. Its convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make the land suitable for a variety of conservation, equestrian or other amenity uses.
Extending in total to about 74.62 Acres (30.20 Ha) the land is offered for sale as a whole as shown on the attached identification plan and described within these sale particulars.

The property occupies a tucked away and yet convenient rural position surrounded by unspoilt rolling countryside within a predominantly agricultural landscape primarily comprising pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of pretty wooded valleys. Despite its peaceful rural location the land is well situated for easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication.
The small village of Buckland Brewer lies about 2 miles to the north west providing a local primary school and public house and parish church, whilst the larger North Devon port town of Bideford may be found about 7 miles in the same direction affording a much wider range of shopping, banking, educational and recreational services. From Bideford the A39 affords an easy link to the regional centre of Barnstaple from where the A361 North Devon link road provides access to Tiverton and the M5 motorway (Junction 27). Mainline intercity rail links are available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway, with international airports at Exeter and Bristol.
The land is surrounded by picturesque Devon countryside providing a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Torridge and Taw, hunting, shooting and golf courses at Northam, Barnstaple and High Bickington. To the north east and south the National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor offer beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, with popular sandy beaches of Instow, Westward Ho!, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.
