Oak Road, Higher Metcombe, Devon

Overview

Kitchener Land and Planning are delighted to offer for sale this attractive agricultural field located in the Higher Metcombe area on the southern edge of the village of West Hill. The field has road frontage and direct access from Oak Road where the road forks on to the Aylesbeare to Tipton St John Road.

The owner informs us that there is a mains water supply which feeds the animal water trough and the meter is in the grass verge near the gateway. The field has been leased by a local farmer for many years for animal grazing and silage, however, the tenancy has now ended.

The field is relatively square in shape with grass fields to the east and west, the road to the south and an area of wooded garden and field to the north. The land is classed as Grade 3, good to moderate in the Agricultural Land Classification by Natural England.

Whilst the field is located outside of a built up area boundary and is not allocated within East Devon Local Plan, it may be of interest to larger builders and developers seeking land for ecological mitigation purposes (BNG).
