4.24 acres of predominantly oak and elm broadleaf woodland
Heathcote Wood is a private 4.24-acre broadleaf woodland tucked into a hidden valley just south of Stoodleigh, near the Exe Valley. The parcel is predominantly mature oak and elm with areas of larch, ash, spruce and fir, an established internal hardcore track, and a picturesque stream running along the lower boundary. There is onsite quarry-style parking and defined vehicular access suitable for occasional vehicles.
This plot will appeal to someone seeking seclusion, wildlife habitat or a small amenity/forestry holding. The wood has been maintained with clear paths and parking already in place, offering immediate use for walking, wildlife watching or low‑impact woodland management. The vendor notes a strong presence of wildlife, and the site provides multiple secluded spots for hideaways or small-scale rewilding projects.
Practical points to note: the setting is remote with no mobile signal and very slow broadband; the access lane to the woods is narrow and little used, though a right of way and extraction route are in place. Parts of the ground are wetter where the stream runs, so some areas may be seasonally waterlogged and not suitable for heavy development. Further adjoining woodland is available to purchase separately if a larger holding is required.
Offered freehold at a modest guide price, this is a straightforward woodland purchase for amenity, conservation or small-scale timber management. Viewings are by appointment and best approached from the south at Parkhouse Water; the parcel is sold as land only with no buildings or services onsite.
