Description
An attractive parcel of amenity woodland in a private yet convenient position close to Colyton and the coast. Extending to about 16.90 acres (6.84 ha).
The Property - A rare opportunity for purchasers to acquire an attractive parcel of mainly sloping mixed woodland. The woodland occupies a private, peaceful location within the larger Cottshayne Hill Plantation and is located within the East Devon National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty). Cottshayne Wood is accessed from Sidmouth Road via Jobbles Lane and then a gated shared entrance with a parking area. The woodland has areas of conifers, some mature broadleaved trees, two small ponds with species on site including Silver Birch, Ash, Oak, Beech and Holly. The woodland has been sensitively managed since 1991, removing pine trees over time to enable natural regeneration to increase native broadleaf species diversity.

This sale offers an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, ecologically rich piece of mixed woodland located in an accessible location close to Colyton and the coast.
