This freehold woodland parcel of approximately 1.53 acres (0.62 ha) is a predominantly mature Sitka spruce stand just off Stockland Hill, between Honiton and Axminster. The owner recently carried out thinning, opening space for remaining trees to mature; the site sits within the Blackdown Hills National Landscape and offers straightforward lane access with natural boundaries to woodland and agricultural land.
Suitable as a small commercial softwood stand or an amenity woodland, the plot will appeal to small-scale forestry investors or private buyers seeking a manageable management parcel close to local services. There are no buildings, no listed covenants and no rates or council tax liability, simplifying ownership and future management decisions.
Buyers should note the site is modest in size for large-scale commercial forestry and has an irregular/triangular shape with limited road frontage in places. The area is remote with very slow broadband and only average mobile signal; local crime statistics are higher than average. Ongoing woodland management will be required to realise commercial or recreational potential.
