Expansive registered common land on Dartmoor National Park fringe.
Guide price £100,000 for Lot 8, substantial moorland parcel
Lot 8 of the Brent Moor & Dockwell Ridge Estate offers a substantial parcel of registered common land on the southern fringe of Dartmoor National Park. The plot sits above Brentmoor House and includes landmarks such as Black Tor and Hunters Stone, providing broad, uninterrupted moorland views and open-access recreation potential. Its designation as open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 gives public access rights and will influence future private use.
The land is freehold and sold with vacant possession subject to existing common grazing rights; prospective purchasers should contact the Dartmoor Commoners Council about rights and obligations. The plot is not currently enrolled in any agri-environment or natural capital schemes, but there is scope to seek stakeholder support to develop environmental management income streams.
Practical considerations are important: the parcel lies in open moorland where former mine workings have been recorded — viewing requires caution and close supervision of children. Avon Dam, the access road to the reservoir and Shipley Bridge car park are excluded from the sale. Broadband speeds in the area are very slow despite excellent mobile reception, and the land’s open-access status plus public rights of way limit privacy and some development options.
