This sale represents an outstanding opportunity to acquire two attractive parcels of productive agricultural land occupying a convenient and readily accessible rural position lying between Burrington and Great Torrington, adjacent to Eaglescott Airfield. Divided into two separate lots, the main block enjoys frontage and access from the B3217 High Bickington to Dolton road which forms the northern boundary, with the smaller lot benefiting from a right of way track access. In recent years the land has been primarily utilised for livestock grazing and fodder production.
Forming two separate blocks the land primarily comprises level and very gently undulating productive pasture, each lot containing a parcel of amenity woodland running alongside small streams. These small copse areas afford enchanting wildlife and conservation appeal. Some natural watering is available to the land. There are two bowl barrow burial mounds, believed to date from the Late Neolithic/Bronze Age, situated in north west corner of Lot 1.
The land is well suited to fodder production and livestock grazing, although its convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make the land suitable for a variety of agricultural, conservation or other amenity uses. Extending in total to about 42.32 Acres (17.12 Ha) the land is offered for sale as a whole or in two lots, as shown on the attached identification plan and described within these sale particulars.
The land is surrounded by picturesque Devon countryside providing a wealth of recreational activities including walking, horse riding, cycling, fishing on the rivers Torridge, Taw and Mole, hunting, shooting and golf courses at Libbaton, Northam and Barnstaple. To the north east and south the National Parks of Exmoor and Dartmoor offer beautiful moorland scenery with many foot and bridle paths and the stunning North Devon coastline, with the popular sandy beaches of Instow, Saunton Sands, Croyde Bay, Putsborough and Woolacombe.
