- Sold without mains services; some natural spring watering only

Lot 3 at West Hill offers about 15.14 acres of level to gently undulating productive pasture with good road frontage and direct access — an immediately usable block for grazing, smallholding or equestrian use. The parcel includes a small open-fronted timber and profile-steel field shelter and benefits locally from natural spring watering; it will be sold without mains services.
The wider West Hill holding delivers additional practical advantages: a solar PV array on the farmyard car port generates FIT income, mobile signal is excellent, and the area is peaceful with low crime. The land lies in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone and the property is entered into an agri-environment Mid-Tier Stewardship Agreement (from 2022), so purchasers must accept the existing management prescriptions and covenants attached to the land.
Practical drawbacks are important to note. Lot 3 has no mains services and prospective buyers should allow for service provision if required. Broadband speeds are very slow in the locality. The larger farm includes Grade II listed buildings (which may complicate works nearby) and some older buildings may contain fibre-cement sheeting suspected to include asbestos — a potential safety and cost consideration. The Basic Payment Scheme entitlements are not included with the land.
Overall, Lot 3 suits buyers seeking a straightforward block of pasture with road access for grazing, equestrian or amenity use, or those looking to add to an existing smallholding. It represents a clear, manageable parcel in a desirable Devon countryside location but carries obligations (stewardship agreements, nitrate zone) and practical service limitations that should be investigated before purchase.
