Description

This hidden, charming field and compact woodland is situated on the side of a small valley, in the middle of the rolling ridges and plateaux on the northern edges of the Culm in North West Devon. The field, with its lush grassland and small mixed woodland is very characteristic of the area; with a modest stream meandering slowly through the woodland at the foot of the field, eventually running into the River Taw to the north.

The entrance to the field is located in the north east corner and the first half an acre of the field, having been excavated to create a stoned hard standing and base for the new barn. The planning Permission that has been granted is for a 30’ x 45’ barn. This could equally be used to locate a caravan or mobile sawmill; or even a place to just sit and barbeque with a glass of your favourite wine whilst you enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the Devonian countryside.

The field has a westerly aspect, catching the afternoon and evening sun as it sets. The northern part of the property is steeper with a gradual gradient as you head towards the south. The field is primarily a mixture of orchard grass, fescue grass, ryegrass and wild barley that has been left a year without cutting and contains a variety of wild orchids. At the top of the hill you will find the beginnings of a small orchard.

The small amenity woodland at the bottom of the slope is a hidden gem. It holds however a secret majesty of forgotten wilderness that will charm any visitor to it. Dominated by mature ash, oak and alder and underneath, wherever they can squeeze themselves, grow hazel, holly, hawthorn and birch, vying for the odd patches of sunlight that break through the canopy above. Along the edge of the field sits a small section of forgotten hazel coppice, crying out to be cut for firewood and a regular coppice cycle restarted.

Deer are regular visitors to the property, using the tall grass of the pasture land to hide and sleep. Squirrels scuttle among the undergrowth of the woodland, scamper up trees and disturb the song birds that crowd the tree tops whilst the buzzards circle above, riding the warm currents that rise from the valley floor.

There is a caravan on site but is not included in the sale and will be removed prior to completion. However, it has been in situ for many years without any issues. There is a useful storage shed that is part of the sale.


If It Were Mine

I would look to complete the construction of the barn and create an area to enjoy for family camping.
