Description
Situation
Situated just outside the village of Bow in the heart of Mid Devon, the land occupies an attractive and accessible rural position within a productive farming area. Whilst the land lies close to the villages of Bow, Spreyton and Copplestone, the market town of Crediton lies just 7 miles east and provides a good range of everyday amenities and agricultural services. The Cathedral city of Exeter, just 5 miles beyond Crediton offers an extensive range of commercial and retail facilities. The property also benefits from good access to the wider road network, with links to the M5 motorway facilitating travel throughout the South West and beyond.
Description
The land extends to approximately 129.98 acres and comprises a productive block of predominantly arable land with one field laid to pasture, all well suited to modern commercial farming operations. A band of red land soil runs through the centre of the holding being widely regarded for its productive qualities and ability to support consistent cropping performance. The land is highly capable of growing a wide variety of cereal and fodder crops and has been farmed as part of a considered arable rotation in recent years. Part of the holding is currently drilled to wheat, the remainder (other than one pasture field) recently drilled to maize.
The land is classified as Grades 2, 3 and 4 according to the Agricultural Land Classification Maps and comprises predominantly free-draining loamy soils.
The combination of soil type, accessibility and field layout creates an efficient and practical unit.
The seller has successfully obtained planning permission for the construction of an agricultural building. Further information can be found via the Mid Devon Planning Portal 23/00454/FULL
Access to the property is via the public highway on the eastern boundary. The northern boundary is bordered by the River Yeo.
