Land at Hampool, Bickleigh, Plymouth, PL6 7AN
SITUATION AND DESCRIPTION
Lying in the immensely picturesque and tranquil Bickleigh Vale in the foothills of Dartmoor. Originally forming part of Ham Farm on the Maristow Estate, the land has historically been let for many decades under various agricultural tenancy arrangements supporting a variety of livestock.
The land which altogether consists of 9.29 acres is divided into four small paddocks bordered by high hedges and an area of woodland. The paddocks provide flat grazing and are situated close to excellent out riding, quiet country lanes and nearby open moors.
Field One has the benefit of a timber field shelter. The land offers a unique opportunity for horse enthusiasts wishing to own their own grazing land.
Field Four, the current owners have established a young orchard, planting apple and pear trees and a variety of fruiting bushes. This field has the benefit of a stream meandering down through it, a woodstore and several sheds, one with a woodburning stove.
The land borders a beautiful winding stretch of the River Plym. Please note the fishing rights are reserved from the sale. A fishing permit may be purchased from the local fishing club (prospective purchasers are advised to make their own investigations on this matter).
The ancient bluebell woodland has several ancient oak trees. A recent Bat Survey found 14 of the 18 species in the UK present. The whole plot has been managed for the benefit of wildlife.
Mains water connection supplying the land and adjoining neighbouring fields.
