41.71 acres of SSSI/Pasture Land for Auction near Devon / Cornwall Border. Available Freehold.
SITUATION
Only 1 mile from an A-Road and with good connections, yet this block of land lies in a peaceful position, accessed off a minor road. The area is characterised by the gently rolling attractive North Devon countryside. The market town of Holsworthy is just 3 miles away with its supermarkets livestock market, petrol station & other amenities. Bude is less than 10 miles away.
DESCRIPTION
Approximately 41.71 acres of pasture land.
Lot 1 - 24.67 acres of extensively managed pasture and a haven for wildlife, birds and insects. The ground does not drain freely, some might say drought resistant! It perhaps lends itself to tree planting, rewilding or habitat enhancing, ideal for buyers with an environmental interest, perhaps looking to take advantage of the increasing grant opportunities for these types of uses. The land is designated as SSSI under the site name 'Small Brook' known for the nationally scarce marsh fritillary butterfly & an 'extensive area of species-rich purple moor-grass'.
Lot 2 - 10.15 acres also part of the SSSI 'small-brook' Would also be suitable for environmental buyers looking to enjoy the local fauna with, mainly butterflies and other insects of note, with Road frontage for easier access. The land is gently south facing and one would again expect environmental grants to be a perk of this purchase.
Lot 3 - 6.90 acres of much more productive and better drained, level pasture, suitable for livestock grazing and with road frontage. The mature boundary trees provide good shade and shelter and the perimeter boundaries appear stockproof.
SERVICES
The land is naturally watered, with various drinking points,. Mains services are not currently connected. Purchasers to satisfy themselves on availability if required. Mobile coverage Outdoors - EE, Three, O2 and Vodafone (Ofcom - 18/04/2024).
