Lower Knappa - 10.35 Acres, Corymbia, Bickington, Newton Abbot TQ12

10.35 acres (4.19 hectares) of pasture and woodland in rural location on the edge of Dartmoor.
Description

A secluded block of useful permanent pasture and natural regeneration woodland with good access and water.

The land is suited to the current agricultural and forestry use as well as hobby farming, amenity, habitat/conservation or recreational use.
The land

The land is comprised of 5 acres (2.02 hectares) of pasture and 5.35 acres (2.17 hectares) of predominately natural regeneration broadleaf woodland.

The pasture field is located to the north-eastern side of the land and is south facing free draining and with the benefit of access from a part concrete, part stoned track leading down from the public highway to the north which leads to an approx. 20m x 8m level parking/turning area for vehicles to the north-east of the field.

The field is well fenced for the majority with protective fencing including sheep netting and two strand barbed wire with Devon hedge banks which have been allowed to partly grow out to the east and western boundaries with the northern boundary being purely stock fenced.

To the south of the pasture field is an area of natural regeneration broadleaf woodland extending to a further 2.14 acres (0.87 hectares) which is also south facing and there is access to this section via an approx. 10’0 gateway to the south-eastern corner of the land as well as an approx. 3’0 pedestrian gateway to the south-western corner of the pasture to the woodland.

A track runs through the woodland to the west to a second slightly larger section of natural regeneration woodland/copse which also benefits from an open grass glade through the mid-section and extends to a further 3.21 acres (1.30 hectares). There is also a track leading down to the far south-western corner of the land to a stream which runs through the south-western corner of the land providing a natural water supply.

The woodland is predominately oak, ash, birch, hawthorn, holly and sycamore and there are also large sections of attractive flora and fauna areas with bluebell grassland and livestock cover through sections. The land directly adjoins further woodland areas to the south owned by the Devon Wildlife Trust and the whole area is a wildlife haven whilst at the same time being very private and secluded.
