Description

ABOUT THE LAND

An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a beautiful piece of north Devon countryside, extending to approximately 3.1 acres of attractive pasture land nestled amongst the picturesque Taw Valley appealing to a wide variety of interests. Formerly, the site was utilised for equestrian purposes with a range of stabling and benefitting from mains power and water connected whilst enjoying direct main road access.

An entrance directly from the B3226 leads onto the track with two gateways, one leading onto the land and the second to the stables via a concrete track. The Stables are divided into four enclosures on a concrete and brick base. Dimensions can be found on the enclosed floorplan.

The land is located just 0.4 a mile from Umberleigh bridge, 6.5 miles from South Molton and 7.5 miles from Barnstaple.

In all, the property extends to about 3.1 Acres.
