Just over 5½ acres of mainly pasture land with 1½ acres of native broadleaf woodland. Level and extremely well fenced.
Rural location with views over surrounding countryside.
Auction guide £40,000 - £50,000.

Situation
The land is located in rural north Devon some 5½ miles north-east of the market town of Holsworthy. The town offers a good range of facilities including a Waitrose supermarket, professional services, veterinary surgery and choice of agricultural and feed merchants.

This unspoilt area of north Devon has much to offer, Dartmoor National Park is about a half hours drive and its rugged tors and vast expanses of moorland are popular with walkers and riders alike. Both the north and south coasts are within an hours drive and offer much to see and do with sandy surfing beaches, pretty coves, harbours and seaside towns.

Description
The land on Robins Hill extends to some 5.66 acres (2.29 hectares) in all and is accessed via short track/right of way on its southern boundary. This in turn leads to a level pasture field with about 1½ acres of mature broadleaf woodland on its
roadside boundary.

The remaining land is enclosed within extremely well fenced hedge banks, some of which have several mature trees on, making this land extremely private.

Suitable for a number of purposes including livestock grazing or forage conservation, the woodland also offers a good supply of firewood.
