Situation - The land is situated on the outskirts of the quiet and unspoilt rural village of Harrowbarrow in East Cornwall, within easy reach of local amenities and facilities, including the towns of Callington, to the west, and Tavistock, to the northeast. Harrowbarrow itself is served by a primary school, with neighbouring villages collectively offering an excellent range of facilities and amenities, including several shops, two fuel stations, an Asda mini-supermarket (1.2 miles away) and several public houses. Gunnislake train station is also 1.2 miles away and provides a direct connection to the City of Plymouth.
Harrowbarrow is just outside of the Tamar Valley National Landscape (formerly AONB), and there are excellent opportunities nearby to walk and explore the region's rich heritage, including the National Trust's Cotehele House and Estate, the picturesque Danescombe Valley and the popular riverside village of Calstock (all approximately 2.5 miles away), where there is a public slipway and boatyard. Tavistock, 6 miles away, is a thriving market town in West Devon offering a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities. Plymouth is 18 miles to the south by road, whilst Exeter is around 45 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK
Description - A single meadow field amounting to approx. 5.85 acres of pasture, interspersed with some established trees. There is a stream running along the field's western boundary.
The land is likely to principally appeal to amenity purchasers wanting some grazing land for ponies or perhaps other livestock, or, alternatively, it may appeal to those looking to own some fantastic countryside in a peaceful position (including for private camping under the 60-day permitted development rules), yet with easy access to a train station, nearby Tavistock, Plymouth, Dartmoor and the South Devon and Cornish coasts.
Services - No services are believed to be connected. There is a natural supply of water from the stream that runs along the field's western boundary. Purchasers should satisfy themselves in every respect as to the availability, capacity and cost of any services that they may wish to connect, before exchanging contracts. No broadband is connected to the site. Limited, variable mobile voice/data services are available, through EE, O2 and Vodafone (source: Ofcom's online service checker).
