Lot 2 of 3

Land at Water Oak Corner

About 122.83 acres (49.71 ha)

A large parcel of upland heath and open moor land with extensive views across neighbouring commons and farmland, and down to the coast of South Devon. This land is outside of the SSSI and SAC boundaries, however still within the National Park and subject to common grazing rights and open access.
This land is predominantly shown as Wet Heath, being shallow peaty soils (source: Natural England). The land cover is mostly grassland heath, with granite boulders and interspersed with areas of bracken and occasional scrubland trees. There is an area of prehistoric settlement with two hut circles, a field enclosure and a length of bank.
There are two natural springs/watercourses and the remnants of a leat that once took water across the moor to the copper mines on the Brook Manor Estate.
Access is via a stone track forming the ancient driftway leading to Lud Gate and onto the moor. This access will also be used and shared with the owner of Lot 1 if sold separately. The boundary to the east of Lot 2 is farmland and woodland, bordered by stone walling, earth banks and fencing. To the north, west and south is open access moorland, and the indicative boundary is an old reave along the high ground running roughly north to south with occasional boundary stones.

Situation
Buckfastleigh Moor is located in south Dartmoor, one of the last great wildernesses in the UK with an inspirational landscape of heather clad moors and rugged tors. The property itself is in open countryside about 3 miles from the market town of Buckfastleigh and 25 miles from the two regional cities, Exeter & Plymouth. The A38 dual carriageway (4 miles) provides excellent accessibility to the area which is popular with tourists due to an abundance of visitor attractions and prime natural landscapes including the moor, as well as the Devon coast and the South Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Buckfastleigh Moor is however, in a more secluded and less visited part of the moor.
