" A most attractive block of level and gently sloping productive pasture land enjoying a southerly aspect and a readily accessible rural position. In all about 36.52 Acres


This sale represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a most attractive and useful sized block of agricultural and amenity land occupying a convenient and readily accessible rural position within North Devon, lying close to the popular town of Chulmleigh.

The land occupies an outstanding position in a peaceful rural location between Dartmoor and Exmoor, enjoying superb countryside views. The surrounding gently undulating and unspoilt Devon countryside, affords a predominantly agricultural landscape of mainly pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of wooded valleys. Nearby the small town of Chulmleigh provides a thriving and very active local community which has managed to retain a good range of local services including primary and secondary schooling, sports facilities, various shops, a health centre, dentist and public houses.
Despite its rural position the land still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication with easy links to the larger towns of South Molton, Crediton and Barnstaple, each providing an extensive range of everyday shopping, recreational and educational facilities. The A377 provides quick and easy access to Exeter and the M5 motorway Junction 30 . There are nearby rail stations on the Barnstaple to Exeter Tarka line at Kings Nympton and Eggesford, with main line services available at Exeter and Tiverton Parkway. International airports are available at Exeter and Bristol.
The land is surrounded by picturesque North Devon countryside providing a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Mole, Bray and Taw, hunting, shooting and golf courses at High Bullen, Tiverton and Barnstaple. To the north the Exmoor National Park offers beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, whilst to the west are the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.

The land is in good heart and enjoys a mainly southerly aspect, divided by traditional hedgebank boundaries into three convenient and easily managed enclosures of principally gently sloping productive pasture. The southernmost field comprises a traditional pasture with some small areas of gorse, affording an attractive and diverse wildlife habitat.
Access to the land is gained via a short right of way leading from the council road at the northernmost point. The land is well fenced and currently utilised for livestock grazing and fodder production, although its convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make it suitable for a variety of equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses.
Extending in total to about 36.52 Acres 14.78 Ha the land is offered for sale as a whole, as shown shaded on the attached identification plan and described within these sale particulars. "
