REAVAILABLE - NEW AUCTION DATE - 7th July 2022
A wonderful opportunity to acquire a delightful and private parcel of land comprising a mixture of wild flower rich grassland and woodland on the edge of Roadford Lake, close to Dartmoor National Park.
SITUATION
The Land is ideally situated for a range of leisure and outdoor pursuits. It lies just half a mile from Roadford Watersports Centre which has an AA graded campsite and offers the opportunity to learn kayaking, canoeing, paddleboarding, sailing, archery and climbing, or perhaps for those less energetic: fishing.
The land lies in an area with a comprehensive network of quiet lanes and paths making it popular for walking, horse riding and cycling.
Dartmoor National Park, lies just 12 miles to the SE with all the outdoor pursuit opportunities that Dartmoor offers.
There is convenient access onto the A30 at Stowford Cross (2.5 miles to the south.) Nearby market towns of Launceston and Okehampton provide a comprehensive range of shopping and leisure facilities, and several of the local villages have popular pubs offering a friendly welcome.
DESCRIPTION
Lot 2 - 3.32 acres - Auction Guide £35,000 - £55,000
Mainly wild flower rich grassland with 0.5 of an acre of broadleaf woodland. The field is set well back from the road in a very private position, accessed by a stoned track.
Ideally suited for the grazing of horses or livestock or perhaps for
a range of recreational uses including wildlife watching or a private spot to enjoy a picnic/BBQ. The whole area is a haven for wildlife and will appeal to buyers wanting a unique property for relaxing in total privacy.
It is also likely to appeal to purchasers or perhaps an investor wanting to own some stunning Devon countryside in a peaceful location or perhaps somebody wanting land for the increasingly popular ‘rewilding’ or tree planting, perhaps with a view to carbon sequestration .
The existing woodland provides a copious supply of firewood, perhaps ideal for a local buyer wanting to mitigate the current high energy costs.
The Vendor has recently completed the re-routing of the first 25m of the access and the corner beside the bridge.
SERVICES
No mains services are connected, although an overhead electricity supply crosses both lots.
FENCING
If the 2 lots are sold separately, within 6 months of completion, the Purchaser of Lot 1 shall erect a stock-proof fence along the eastern boundary of the access track within Lot 1's ownership, and Lot 2's buyer will fence a 10m x 6m access box at the start of Lot 1's access track and shall move the existing gate there, to the far side of this shared access area, allowing access into Lot 2's field.
WAYLEAVES, COVENANTS AND RIGHTS OF WAY
The land is sold subject to and with the benefit of any wayleave agreements in respect of electricity or telephone equipment crossing the property, together with any restrictive covenants or public or private rights of way. The Ordnance Survey Plan shows there are no public rights of way crossing the property.
