Description
The land occupies an attractive rural position on the northern fringes of Dartmoor National Park, within an appealing and unspoilt countryside setting. It lies just outside the popular villages of South Zeal and Sticklepath, both offering a range of local amenities and convenient access to Dartmoor. Despite its rural position, the land is within easy reach of the A30, providing excellent road connections towards Exeter and across the wider Devon and Cornwall road network. Description An attractive parcel of approximately 6.17 acres offers excellent amenity and recreational appeal within a peaceful and varied natural setting. The land comprises an interesting mix of open grassland, established woodland, scrub and watercourses, creating a diverse and attractive landscape. The remains of a former farmstead/dwelling are also situated within the land, adding further interest and character to the property. This variety of habitats provides strong biodiversity, conservation and ecological value, with considerable potential for habitat enhancement, nature conservation and wider environmental benefits. Access to the land is provided via the bridleway shown on the sale plan running from Point A to Point B. The route allows for vehicular access for part of the way, although vehicles are unable to proceed for its full length to the land. Pedestrian and equestrian access is available along the bridleway.
