Situation - This parcel of amenity land is located around 1.2 miles from the popular riverside village of Bere Ferrers, on the Bere Peninsula in West Devon. The village is served by a pub and community shop, and benefits from an absence of through traffic. The area is sought-after by those with an interest in sailing and other water sports, with the nearby hamlet of Weir Quay (0.9 miles) providing a boatyard and moorings. Bere Ferrers train station provides a direct 25-minute rail service to Plymouth City Centre. The verdant wooded banks of the Tamar Valley National Landscape (formerly AONB), along the Devon/Cornwall border, offer superb opportunities to discover the region's rich heritage. The thriving market town of Tavistock, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, is 8.5 miles away.
Description - This appealing parcel of amenity land occupies an idyllic, private and secluded position in the quiet countryside of rural West Devon, in an elevated location which benefits from some truly spectacular, panoramic views extending to the beautiful Tamar estuary and towards the city of Plymouth. The site amounts to some 1.59 acres, sloping largely from north to southeast, and is to be sold with a converted (vacant) Rice horse trailer and water bowser. The trailer is understood to be in good, towable condition and boarded throughout with a commercial-grade floor, making it useful for storage and offering shelter from the elements. The current owner has planted around 80-90 new trees around 2/3 years ago, which are mainly cherry (Tamar Valley variety), plum, and apple, plus a couple of apricots and some walnuts. The site would suit those looking to undertake further planting, have somewhere to exercise pets or keep small livestock, camp out under the permitted development allowance, or simply enjoy some peace, privacy and incredible views, in the countryside.

Purchasers should satisfy themselves in every respect as to the availability, capacity and cost of any services that they may wish to connect, before placing a bid.
