Description
SITUATION
The Land at Hood occupies an attractive and versatile block of agricultural land just north of Dartington, approximately 3 miles north east of Totnes, within the sought after South Hams district of Devon. The block of land is highly accessible, with direct access from the A384, providing convenient connections to Totnes, Buckfastleigh and the A38 Devon Expressway, approximately 5 miles to the north, offering onward routes to Exeter and Plymouth.
The surrounding area is characterised by rolling Devon countryside and a number of nearby attractions include Dartington Hall Estate and the historic market town of Totnes provides a comprehensive range of retail, leisure and educational facilities, together with a mainline railway station offering regular services to Exeter, Plymouth and London Paddington.
DESCRIPTION - LOT 1
Lot 1 extends to approximately 65.79 acres (26.62 hectares) and comprises predominantly of a productive block of gently undulating Grade 3 agricultural land, currently laid to a combination of arable and pasture. Part of the land is utilised within an arable rotation and is highly capable of producing a variety of cereal and fodder crops. The holding is arranged in a number of well sized, easily workable field enclosures, ideally suited to modern farming operations. The land benefits from good quality, free draining loamy soils, making it well suited to a range of agricultural enterprises, including both arable cropping and fodder production.
There is direct frontage to the council road along both its northern and southern boundaries, providing convenient access. A distinctive feature of the property is a strip of mixed amenity woodland running through the centre of the holding. This attractive natural feature enhances the landscape and offers sporting, conservation and biodiversity potential, whilst also providing valuable shelter for livestock and wildlife.
