Land for sale

A most attractive block of agricultural and amenity land enjoying a convenient and readily accessible position close to the village. In all about 9.91 Acres.

This sale provides an excellent opportunity to acquire an attractive block of agricultural and amenity land, known locally as Fran's Field, occupying a convenient and readily accessible rural position enjoying excellent road frontage. Benefiting from lovely countryside views, the land comprises productive pasture which is well fenced and divided into a number of convenient and manageable enclosures. Two separate gated entrances lead into the land direct from the council road, with a useful stone track from the main entrance providing access to two timber and profile steel roofed mobile Field Shelters, which are included in the freehold sale. The land is more moderately sloping towards the northern boundary, running down to a small stream which provides some natural watering.   
In recent years the land has been traditionally managed as a livestock smallholding for the grazing, breeding and rearing of cattle and pigs, although it may be suitable for equestrian or other diversified uses, subject to obtaining any necessary change of use planning consent Indeed, the convenient position and aesthetic appeal of this land may make it suitable for a variety of agricultural, equestrian or other amenity uses.   
Extending in total to about 9.91 Acres (4.01 Ha) the land is offered for sale as a whole as shown shaded red on the attached identification plan.
Note: The adjoining parcel of woodland known as Shilstone Plantation, extending to about 3.82 acres, may also be available by separate negotiation.

The land occupies an outstanding rural position close to Chittlehampton, lying adjacent to the B3227 South Molton to Umberleigh road, at the junction known as Winson Cross. The nearby popular and historic village of Chittlehampton has a thriving and very active local community with its primary school, post office/village stores, cricket club and traditional public house, The Bell Inn. The market town of South Molton provides an excellent range of everyday services and amenities including shops, primary and secondary schools, restaurants and banks, together with a supermarket, two health centres, recreational facilities and a cottage hospital.
