Barn and 20 acres

Rare opportunity to purchase a piece of the Avon Valley. On the market in one of the outstanding wooded valleys of South Hams. This land is near the conservation areas of Andrew’s wood (Devon Wildlife Trust) and the Avon Woods (Woodland Trust) and falls within the DWT zone of the Avon Vally Project. It is near many footpaths and offers ample opportunities to ride out either on bike or horse. The land is bustling with wildlife – grazing rabbits, hunting sparrowhawks and snipe are common. The land is on a peaceful lane with no flow through traffic. There is a distinct feel of isolation from the hustle and bustle of modern life, yet it is well connected. The land is ideally located for access to the A38 (6 miles) and Kingsbridge (5 miles). It is served well by local farm and equestrian outlets as well as many desirable cafes and restaurants. There is a good local primary school at Loddiswell, the medieval town of Modbury is only 6 miles away and a nature reserve at Aveton Gifford. There is also the heritage coastline of South Devon and Dartmoor National Park to the north, both offering diverse opportunities for tourism, outriding and relaxation. Lots comprise three fields and one semi-detached barn in its own plot. Barn plus 1 acre (£120 000) This semi-detached barn offers a rare opportunity to acquire a private barn with good access. It is currently used for agricultural purposes but has planning permission for a wider range of uses. The barn is of a open-sided design and is tucked away within its own plot. There is nevertheless an open feel to the yard and views give over the Avon valley beyond. It can be acquired with more land for those seeking further opportunities for farming, equestrian or other business or amenity activities. Mains electricity is connected and water is currently available from a spring, but mains water could be available. Fields The fields has been used for cattle grazing over a number of decades. Each has it's own roadside entrance. Field 1 is 6.7 acres and is available separately for £60000. From the top of Field 1 are spectacular views over the South Hams. It has drier parts at the top and rushes on the lower part. There are rich diverse hedgerows on all sides and would be ideally suited for continued use as grazing or for rewilding or other ecological or amenity projects. Fields 1 and 2 are currently run together. There is an electricity pole with a transformer on the boundary between the two. Field 2 is 7.7 acres and is available separately for £80000. It is the most secluded and has an array of ditches and different habitats. It is the most picturesque and ecologically interesting of the three fields Field 3 is 5.5 acres and available separately for £60 000. It is the other side of the Wigford land and is entered by crossing a bridge over a stream. Field 3 is gently sloping and the best field in agricultural terms.
