5.85 acres of mature conifer woodland (Norway and Sika Spruce)
Marley Wood is a secluded 5.85-acre block of mainly coniferous plantation (Norway and Sika Spruce) set in a hidden valley just south of Stoodleigh. The parcel has established hardcore tracks, parking points and a picturesque stream running along the lower ground, making it immediately usable for amenity, timber management or rewilding projects. The site is freehold and sits in a quiet rural setting with very low local crime and no flood risk.
The wood has been maintained with accessible extraction routes and vehicle access suitable for machinery. Mature stands offer potential for continued timber production, selective thinning or conversion to mixed broadleaf over time; pockets of open rides and varied ground make it attractive for wildlife and recreation. The seller notes further adjoining woodland is available if a larger holding is wanted.
Material drawbacks are the remote location and basic services: there is no mobile signal and broadband speeds are very slow, so this site suits buyers comfortable operating off-grid or investing in longer-term ecological or forestry works. There are no buildings or utilities on the parcel, and some management (thinning, ride maintenance) will be required if kept for timber or to change the woodland character.
This plot will appeal to buyers seeking a private countryside retreat, small-scale commercial woodland, or a rewilding/ conservation opportunity close to Tiverton and the Exe Valley. Access is along a narrow lane with a legal right of way to the head of the wood; viewing and access arrangements should be planned in advance.
