An attractive block of productive arable and pasture land enjoying a convenient position with good road frontage and access.

The land at Colleton Mill extends in total to about 66.37 Acres and is offered for sale by private treaty either as a whole or in lots as follows:-

Lot 1: Pasture and woodland extending to about 26.73 acres - Guide Price £180,000

Lot 2: Arable/Pasture land extending to about 28.31 Acres - Guide Price £220,000

Lot 3: Arable/Pasture land extending to about 11.33 Acres - Guide Price £90,000

This comprises an attractive large block of productive agricultural land occupying a convenient rural position lying a short distance to the west of the sought after North Devon town of Chulmleigh, close to the small hamlet of Colleton Mills. The land enjoys excellent road frontage and access, divided by a council road into two principal parcels.

The land to the south of the road is primarily level and gently sloping, divided into three convenient fields which are currently sown to productive long term pasture and legume/herb rich swards, although we understand that all of these fields have historically been utilised for cereal production. Lying to the north of the road is a further large single enclosure of level and gently sloping traditional pasture, incorporating an attractive woodland copse. The land benefits from a combination of road and track access points, with mains watering available.

Whilst the land may be well suited to livestock grazing, fodder production and potentially arable cropping, its convenient location, superb views and aesthetic appeal may also make it suitable for a variety of agricultural, conservation, equestrian or other amenity uses, subject to obtaining any necessary consents. Extending in total to about 66.37 Acres (26.86 Ha) the land is offered for sale as a whole or in up to three lots, as shown on the attached identification plan and described within these sale particulars.
