Sutton Thorn
Colyton
Devon EX24 6SW EX24 6BX
1 bed 1 bath Land
3.51 acres of managed woodland with timber shelter; sold by auction October 16 2025.
Approximately 3.51 acres (1.42 ha) of mixed broadleaf woodland
This attractive 3.51-acre block of mixed broadleaf woodland sits on the parish boundary of Colyton and Widworthy in East Devon National Landscape. The plot offers a quiet, natural retreat with mature oak, birch, sweet chestnut and hazel, a diversity of habitat and pleasant countryside views. A small timber building (approx. 4.5m x 3m) formerly used for Forest School activities provides basic shelter and storage; any change of use will require planning checks.
The woodland benefits from direct road frontage, an accessible pathway and a convenient layby for off-street parking. There are no services connected and the land is sold freehold; purchasers should be aware the woodland is subject to a Tree Preservation Order (No: 86/0010/TPO). Mobile signal is excellent and broadband speeds are listed as fast, making the site suitable for recreational use, small-scale managed timber or conservation projects.
This lot will be sold by public auction on 16 October 2025 (livestream and in-room bidding). The buyer will be responsible for the seller’s fees (minimum £2,500 + VAT) and legal search costs. Interested parties should download and study the legal pack carefully before bidding, as the pack contains important title, rights of access and other material information.
Suitable for a buyer seeking amenity woodland, nature conservation, low-intensity forestry or a private retreat. The lack of services and the Tree Preservation Order limit immediate development potential; purchasers should factor in potential costs for management, planning enquiries and any necessary consents.
