The ancient market town of Holsworthy can be found some 6 miles to the east and provides a good range of day to day facilities including a Waitrose Supermarket, thriving livestock market, choice of veterinary practices and agricultural
merchants. The popular seaside town of Bude on the north Cornish coast is 7 miles away and provides a wider range of amenities as well as being renowned for its sandy beaches and sea pool.

The A30 trunk route is an approximately 20 minute drive to the south and this quick link leads to the cities of Truro in the west and Exeter in the east.

LOT 2: Approximately 21.66 acres (8.76 hectares) and

Again, access is from the parish road to the north. The land has a predominantly southerly aspect sloping towards a small tributary of the River Tamar and enjoys southerly views over the upper Tamar valley towards the Cornish Hills.

Two fields were cropped with corn last year and are currently arable stubble, the remainder is down to grass leys and permanent pasture.

There is a natural water supply on the south eastern boundary.

Further land available as;

LOT 1: Approximately 42.21 acres (17.08 hectares) and outlined orange on the plan.
Accessed from the adjoining parish road to the north, the majority of the land in Lot 1 is in permanent pasture which is level and gently sloping and contained in good sized enclosures, many of which have benefited from recent casting up.

The land enjoys a southerly aspect with views over the upper Tamar Valley towards the Cornish hills. The land is gently sloping to a small tributary of the River Tamar which also provides a natural water supply.

There is an attractive small woodland of about three acres on the western boundary, which provides amenity, sporting opportunities, shelter and a supply of firewood.

The land is all down to productive grassland which has benefitted from regular slurry applications from the dairy farm which has maintained excellent fertility. Historically some of the fields have also been used to grow arable and maize crops.

Immediately adjoining the parish road is a small South West Water pumping station, which supplies water to Higher Pigsdon Farm. This small area (measuring only a few square meters) is being retained by the vendor, with a right of way to the pumping station though the existing gateway.
