Lot 2 is a substantial freehold land holding in Diptford, offered as 18.59 acres of predominantly arable and waterside meadow. The parcel includes c.13.96 acres of arable farmland with an additional paddock flanking the River Avon across the lane, providing clear scope for agricultural, equestrian or amenity uses. The riverside edge, woodland and a string of pools create notable recreational and biodiversity value, including frequent kingfisher sightings and wild swimming spots.
The site’s location is convenient for the South Hams and Dartmoor: Totnes is around seven miles away, the A38 two miles, and both Plymouth and Exeter are accessible via the dual carriageway. The combination of river frontage, meadowland and a large overall plot gives strong potential for low‑intensity commercial rural uses (e.g., grazing, livery, small‑scale arable) or as an investment holding for long‑term countryside asset appreciation.
There are important constraints to note. The land has a high flooding risk along the riverside margins which will restrict development potential and could affect suitability for some agricultural activities; any change of use or buildings would require detailed flood and planning assessments. Broadband is slow and mobile signal average, reflecting the rural setting. Prospective buyers should commission surveys and check riparian, environmental and access rights for the paddock across the lane.
In short, this is a large, tranquil riverside parcel with strong amenity and agricultural value for buyers seeking a substantial countryside holding. It will suit purchasers who prioritise natural setting, equestrian or farming use, and who accept the limitations imposed by flood risk and rural infrastructure.
