This sale represents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a most attractive block of agricultural and amenity land occupying a convenient and readily accessible rural position within West Devon, lying between Winkleigh and North Tawton, close to the pretty village of Bondleigh. The land is in good heart, currently utilised for fodder production and livestock grazing and divided by traditional hedgebank boundaries into three convenient and easily managed enclosures comprising principally level and gently sloping productive pasture. Two separate gated access points are available to the land, leading directly from the council road which forms the southern boundary. Situated in the north western corner of the land is a small area of copse.
The land may be well suited to fodder production and livestock grazing, although its convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make the land suitable for a variety of equestrian, conservation or other amenity uses.

The surrounding gently undulating and unspoilt Devon countryside, affords a predominantly agricultural landscape of mainly pasture and arable land interspersed with an abundance of wooded valleys. Nearby the small town of North Tawton provides a thriving and very active local community which has managed to retain a good range of local services including a primary school, sports centre, post office, various shops, a health centre, dentist, public houses and restaurants. Likewise Winkleigh also provides a vibrant village community offering a range of local services including a well regarded primary school, village hall and sports centre, post office, general stores, butchers shop, two public houses, a vet and doctor’s surgery. Other nearby and easily accessible villages include Zeal Monachorum, Bow, Sampford Courtney and Lapford.
Despite its rural position the land still enjoys easy access to the surrounding districts and main routes of communication with easy links to the larger towns of Crediton, Okehampton and Barnstaple, each providing an extensive range of everyday shopping, banking, recreational and educational facilities. The A377 provides quick and easy access to Exeter and the M5 motorway (Junction 30).
