About This Property
An attractive block of mature woodland and lake rich in wildlife, flora and fauna with excellent road access and frontage, in all about 16.82 acres. For Sale By Informal Tender
This beautiful parcel of woodland forms part of what was the parkland of Sandhill Park, a former mansion house located on the outskirts of Taunton with a rich history. Originally the drive ran from the lodge on the southeast boundary across the lake over an ornamental bridge but due to the construction of the Great Western Railway in the 1980Â’s a new access was built and since then the lake and ornamental bridge have fallen into disrepair. The potential exists however to restore the bridge with investment to create a superb historic feature and the potential to have a private fishing lake should you wish.
The woodland comprises a mixture of native deciduous trees which have been largely unmanaged being left to natures way creating a haven for wildlife, flora and fauna with regular siting of badgers, foxes, deer, woodcock, squirrels amongst others. In all the property extends to approximately 16.82 acres as shown on the attached Identification Plan and is being offered for sale as a whole.
