This sale represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a most attractive block of agricultural land occupying a convenient and readily accessible rural position within North Devon, close to the popular village of Bratton Fleming. The property enjoys good road access, approached over a splayed and gated private entrance leading into a large hard standing yard, currently utilised for the storage of machinery and silage bales. Adjoining the yard is a useful and adaptable range of agricultural buildings comprising a modern 6 bay timber framed and profile steel roofed building with timber framed lean-tos of similar construction adjoining to either side, approx. 27m x 21.6m overall. The central section of this building is currently used as a Fodder Barn with steel sheeted double doors to the front elevation, whilst the lean-to parts contain a further Fodder/Machinery Store and covered Livestock Housing. Adjoining is a further lean-to block and profile steel roofed Loose Box, 5.8m x 5.2m, with a part enclosed yard area situated to the rear. A gated access leads directly out into the adjoining land from the main yard, with a hard track running past the buildings to a second gateway providing access to the land. The buildings enjoy a sheltered position, set into the hillside at the rear and with protective screening banks to either side. The buildings benefit from mains water and electricity supplies.
The adjoining land is divided by traditional hedgebank boundaries into a number of convenient and easily managed enclosures comprising principally gently sloping productive pasture. An interesting stone banked feature situated within the land is believed to be a former dew/mill pond. The land is currently utilised for fodder production and livestock grazing, although its convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make the land and buildings suitable for a variety of agricultural, smallholder, equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses.
In total, Peace Parks extends to about 47.56 Acres (19.27 Ha), as shown shaded pink on the attached identification plan.
