Land for sale

North Tawton EX20

Situation
The land is located some 1 mile from the market town of North Tawton. The area is well known for its combination of arable and grass growing abilities situated to the north of Dartmoor on the edge of the famous Devonian Red Soil and Culm Grasslands. The area boasts many agricultural suppliers, merchants, engineers, vets, feed mills, farm building fabricators/erectors and farming contractors. Livestock Markets can be found at South Molton and Exeter with occasional markets at Chagford.

The area abounds with all those facilities/opportunities associated with a rich rural rooted area, yet has good connectivity with the A30 and branch line railway station close at hand.

The Property
The parkland once comprised a number of enclosures and formed part of the Ashridge Court Estate. Time has seen the land evolve into 2 enclosures which have been run as one. Hedgerow trees as well as infield trees now give the property a parkland feel. The land has been grazed by the Drake family with their well known herd of Devon cattle and Devon & Cornwall Longwool sheep for several years which has enhanced the environmental quality of the property through a sustained period of regenerative farming long before the phrase was coined. A central mini-valley with nearby trees and woodland provide a dynamic wildlife corridor.

A particular environmental feature is a pond which started life as a stone quarry and now provides water for livestock and home to a great variety of wildlife. The pond has been stocked in the distant past. The pond and its vista across the land to Dartmoor beyond provides the successful buyer with leisure opportunities (subject to obtaining the necessary consents).

Agriculturally the property provides rich grazing and the potential for arable cropping on the northern portion.
