The wooded banks of the Tamar Valley offer superb walking and riding
opportunities, as well as numerous water-based activities. Neighbouring Bere Alston offers a good range of local amenities, including bus connections, Bere Ferrers train station is just 0.7 miles, (Plymouth City Centre 25mins.)

The land enjoys far reaching rural views over the River Tavy and beyond,
towards the iconic towers of the Tamar Bridge. Each lot benefits from its own field shelter. The land is ideally suited to pony grazing, or to use the land for camping under the 28 Day Permitted Development Right Rules.

Lot 2: 0.54 Acres - Guide £10,000 - £20,000
Lot 1: 2.84 acres - Guide: £30,000 - £50,000
