Description
A Tranquil Coastal Retreat Near Clovelly
Discover a rare 30-acre sanctuary on the North Devon Coast, where privacy and natural beauty converge. This exceptional block of land combines naturally regenerated woodland with sweeping culm grassland pasture, creating a secluded haven teeming with rare flora and fauna. Perfect for those seeking a conservation or connection to nature project, a private equestrian retreat, or a quiet escape, the property offers a level of undisturbed peace that is increasingly hard to find.
The Land & Infrastructure
Exceptional Privacy: In a significant benefit to the owner, the land is entirely free from public footpaths or rights of way, ensuring total seclusion.
Versatile Outbuildings: The property features a series of well-maintained timber agricultural buildings, including a substantial 45ft x 15ft field shelter (with compost loo and rainwater harvesting to the side), a stable, and additional shedding—perfectly suited for livestock, storage, or hobby farming.
Ecological Stewardship: The land is currently part of a Countryside Stewardship scheme, highlighting its environmental value. This can be transferred to the new owner or terminated depending on your goals.
Utilities & Rights: Freehold title includes all sporting and mineral rights. While the land is off-grid, mains electricity is conveniently located nearby.
Planning & Overage Information
While the primary field shelter building was constructed in 2010 and could theoretically be explored for alternative uses, it remains a high-quality agricultural asset. A 25-year overage clause has been in place since July 2022 specifically for this field shelter, should the value be enhanced by planning permission in the future. Legal advice suggests this clause is limited solely to this building, leaving the remaining acreage and structures unencumbered.
