Freehold 3.72 acre pasture on Braunton Marshes — grazing ready, coastal location.
Level 3.72 acre (1.51 ha) paddock, currently used for grazing
A level 3.72 acre (1.51 ha) paddock on Braunton Marshes offered freehold. The land is currently permanent grass used for grazing and adjoins the Flats Pill stream on its southern boundary, providing natural drainage and rural character. Access is direct from a hard track (Gollowell Track) with a new gateway to be installed if sold separately from the larger lot.
This parcel is attractive for small-scale agricultural use, grazing or as part of a wider landholding given its proximity to Saunton Sands and other North Devon beaches. The soils are loamy/sandy with a peaty surface and naturally high groundwater; land is classified Grade 3 and lies within a Heritage Coasts area, which supports countryside amenity and limits development pressure.
Practical considerations include no mains services, an existing Countryside Stewardship agreement running until 31 December 2028, and annual drainage fees (the seller paid £245 in 2023 across their larger holding). The land is in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ). If Lot 1 is sold separately the purchaser of Lot 1 must erect a stock-proof fence; Lot 2 is currently unregistered at the Land Registry.
For buyers seeking a tidy, freehold grazing paddock near the coast, this is straightforward productive land with clear management obligations and environmental designations. It will suit agricultural users or investors looking to consolidate local holdings, but not those seeking immediate development potential or serviced plots.
