This comprises an attractive large block of productive agricultural land occupying a convenient rural position lying between South Molton and Barnstaple. Situated in an area known as Stowford, close to the popular village of Chittlehampton, the land enjoys excellent road frontage and access, divided into two principal blocks. In recent years the land has been extensively farmed and is currently utilised for livestock grazing and fodder production.
The main block is almost entirely surrounded by council lanes and enjoys a gently sloping southerly aspect, divided into convenient enclosures of productive pasture benefiting from a number of road access points. Lying to the south is a further parcel of gently sloping pasture land, bounded in part by a small tree lined stream. The principal block benefits from mains watering with some natural stream watering available to the southern block.
The land is well suited to fodder production and livestock grazing, although some fields may also have potential for arable cropping and/or other agricultural enterprises, subject to any appropriate consents. The convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make the land suitable for a variety of agricultural, conservation, equestrian or other amenity uses.
Extending in total to about 62.57 Acres (25.32 Ha) the land is offered for sale as a whole or in up to three lots, as shown on the attached identification plan and described within these sale particulars.
