Description

We are delighted to offer for sale this small piece of woodland in the village of Waterrow, 2 miles west of Wiveliscombe.

It is set between the B3327 and The River Tone and is sloping woodland.

The woodland is located on the edge of Waterrow, which is a small village nestling in the foot of the Brendon Hills, close to Exmoor having lovely views of the surrounding hills and woodland. There is a popular local Inn and village hall.

The Wiveliscombe area is the best kept secret in Somerset with rolling green hills and peaceful unspoilt countryside, whilst maintaining excellent access to communities in Taunton, 11 miles with main line railway station and M5 access junction 25 and Wellington junction 26 is 7 miles from Wiveliscombe.

Wiveliscombe town offers an unusually wide range of services including post office, doctor's surgery, vets, chiropodist, library, churches, public houses, community office, primary and secondary schools with excellent reputations and a recreation ground with heated outdoor swimming pool, cricket and rugby pitches and tennis courts.

Exmoor National Park is close at hand as well as the Quantock and Brendon hills providing open country for walking, riding, mountain biking and access to the beautiful West Somerset coastline.
From our Wiveliscombe office proceed down the hill and turn right at the traffic lights onto the B3227 and drive west out of Wiveliscombe, up over 'Devil's Elbow'.

Proceed into the village of Waterrow and just go over the bridge and bear left around the corner and the woodland will be found on the left hand side (TA4 2AZ).
