Large water-rich nature reserve ideal for low‑intensity farming or conservation.
- 12.59 acres (5.10 ha) of mixed pasture, woodland and streams
- Abundant natural water: springs and year-round streams
- Pole barn ~12m x 6m for machinery and general storage
- Planning consent (Nov 2020) for agricultural storage building
- Historic restrictive covenant: use limited to nature reserve only
- No mains services connected; off-grid water only
- Ground includes steep banks, silty bogs and fengy areas
- Direct road access; some lanes unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles
An unusually diverse 12.59-acre holding in the heart of the Blackdown Hills AONB, offered freehold with direct road access. The land comprises a mix of open grazing, rush pasture, streams, springs and woodland, supporting rich seasonal wildflowers and managed grazing that preserves the habitats. A 12m x 6m pole barn provides basic storage and there are three separate access points from neighbouring lanes.
This parcel will suit a buyer seeking a nature-focused small holding, conservation project or low-intensity agricultural use. Natural water is abundant from springs and streams, the sporting and mineral rights (insofar as owned) are included and the land is already entered in a Higher Level Management Scheme. Planning consent for an agricultural storage building was granted in November 2020 (Ref: 10/20/0019/AGN), offering practical headroom for farm operations.
Important constraints and practicalities are clear: there are no mains services to the land, several areas are silty, boggy and steep (wet fen and greensand/flintstone banks), and access includes a lane unsuitable for heavy goods vehicles. A historic restrictive covenant limits use to a nature reserve only, which materially restricts development or change of use. Buyers should note the land is sold subject to any wayleaves and rights of way that affect it.
Offered by private treaty at £110,000, this is a rare, large-scale countryside holding for a buyer who values biodiversity, water resources and traditional grazing management rather than immediate development potential. Viewing is by appointment; practical considerations such as seasonal ground conditions and lack of mains services should be factored into plans.
