Description/Location

The land comprises a level and gently sloping parcel of 36.92 acres divided between five principal enclosures located within 3 miles of Welcombe beach and the North Devon Coastline. There is a stone track leading from the road entrance which provides excellent access. The vendor has recently obtained consent for the erection of an agricultural building of 30' x 30' for hay storage on the land under application reference 1/0615/2023/AGR and will commence construction of this shortly. There are no public rights of way through the land, and it is not overlooked, therefore making it very private. Three of the enclosures comprise large pasture fields which are currently sub-divided into paddocks and are well suited to a range of agricultural and equestrian uses, woodland planting, etc. There is a lake/pond within the largest of the enclosures with Canada Geese present. The other two enclosures comprise woodland with a stream running through the central woodland enclosures with deer frequently present. Subject to obtaining the necessary consent, the land may be well suited to a range of uses including, but not limited to, leisure such as camping, glamping and lodges (especially bearing in mind the sea views), energy production (wind turbines/solar) and woodland planting with grant funding available for woodland establishment and maintenance via the English Woodland Creation Offer (EWCO). Further details are available from the agents.

*Guide Price & Reserves

Generally speaking Guide Prices are provided as an indication of each seller’s minimum expectation. They are not necessarily figures which a property will sell for and may change at any time prior to the auction. Virtually every property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the Auctioneer cannot sell the property during the auction) which we expect will be set within the Guide Range or no more than 10% above a single figure Guide.

The “Important Notes For Auction Buyers” at the front of the catalogue includes a definition of “Guide Price & Reserve Price”. All properties are subject to a purchaser’s administration fee of £1,500 + VAT unless otherwise stated in the addendum (£420 inc VAT for lots with guide prices up to £3,000). If the purchaser is liable for any further costs these will be stated within the Special Conditions of the legal pack, that have been produced by the seller’s lawyer, a copy of which can be downloaded from our website.
