Private rural paddock near Plymouth with long‑term potential.
1. 1.84 acres of gently sloping permanent pasture, west-facing exposure
2. Well suited to grazing, hay, smallholding or equestrian use (subject to planning)
3. No on-site services; mains water nearby subject to connection regulations
4. Right of way over access track; shared maintenance liability if lots split
5. Third-party right of way also exists (owner of Hilltop Barn)
6. Falls outside National Landscape – potential long-term development interest
7. For sale by formal tender; 10% deposit cheque and signed contract required
8. Administration fee of £1,500 plus VAT payable on successful tender
Lot 4 is a gently sloping 1.84-acre parcel of permanent pasture on the east side of Chittleburn Hill, offered for sale by formal tender. The field faces west/south-west, has good natural drainage and hedged boundaries, and is well suited to grazing, hay production, smallholding or equestrian use (subject to planning). Its location about 5 miles from Plymouth and close to the A38 gives rural seclusion with convenient road links.
The land currently has no services connected; mains water access is available nearby but any connection would be subject to South West Water regulations. Vehicular access is via the gated track; if lots are sold separately Lot 4 will have a right of way over the access track but will share maintenance and repair costs with Lots 2 and 3. A third party (owner of Hilltop Barn) also benefits from a right of way across that track.
Key transactional notes: the seller is inviting formal tenders with a closing date of 31 October 2025 at 12 noon. Successful tenderers must provide a signed contract and a 10% deposit cheque with their offer. An administration fee of £1,500 plus VAT (or 1.5% if sold as a whole) is payable on acceptance. The land is sold subject to any existing wayleaves and easements; tenure is not specified.
Opportunities and constraints are straightforward: the parcel falls outside the National Landscape (formerly AONB), which may improve long-term development prospects subject to planning. Conversely, there are no current services on the plot, shared access responsibilities, and a formal tender process that obliges buyers to be prepared to proceed quickly and with funds available.
