Level grazing acreage near Saunton Sands, suited to agricultural or long-term holding.
12.49 acres (5.05 ha) of level pasture on Braunton Marshes
A substantial, level block of pasture on Braunton Marshes, just over 12 acres (5.05 ha) of freehold grassland currently used for cattle grazing. Its proximity to Saunton Sands and other North Devon beaches gives it a desirable coastal setting while remaining part of an agricultural landscape within a Heritage Coasts area.
The soils are loamy/sandy with a peaty surface and naturally high groundwater; the land is classified as Grade 3 and is crossed by a drainage ditch that feeds the Flats Pill stream on the southern boundary. There are no services connected, and the plot lies within a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone (NVZ), so buyers should allow for normal agricultural constraints and environmental compliance.
The holding is registered and sold freehold, including sporting and mineral rights insofar as they are owned. It is currently managed under a Countryside Stewardship agreement that runs until 31 December 2028, which may suit buyers seeking immediate low-input grazing income; drainage fees are payable annually to maintain drains and the access track (seller’s 2023 charge noted at £245 across their larger holding).
Practical points: access is from a hard lane (Gollowell Track), viewings are by appointment, and if Lot 1 and Lot 2 are sold separately the Lot 1 purchaser must erect a stock-proof fence on the dividing boundary. The parcel presents straightforward grazing or agricultural use and may suit purchasers seeking coastal pasture or long-term landholding, but it is not served with utilities and is subject to environmental designations and ongoing management obligations.
