Land For Sale £100,000
For sale by informal tender
offers by Tuesday 7th September 2021 5PM
An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a mature woodland with a large pond nestled in a sheltered valley position close to the north Cornish coast.
The land
Previously forming part of the Chiverton Estate, the site extends to 10.42 acres and primarily comprises of mature deciduous woodland, with a large wildlife pond. The woodland is approached through a south facing grass paddock of approximately ½ acre.
The land is accessed from a public byway via a gated vehicular access, included in the overall curtilage. The gateway has hard standing.
The majority of the woodland and pond are designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (sssi) (hatched on the attached Plan) and enjoys a peaceful setting attracting a plethora of flora and fauna. The vendor has informed us there are regular sightings of stags, kingfishers and even the occasional otter, and the pond has numerous fish, and it is believed many decades ago carp were introduced. The pond laid completely hidden behind vegetation until recent times and remains undisturbed.
An extract from the sssi literature describes the area as boasting ‘a wide range of habitats including swamp vegetation, deciduous woodland, streams, herb rich meadows, wet heath and bog vegetation.’ In addition, ‘The open water areas provide a habitat for the rare insectivorous plant, Greater Bladderwort Utricularia vulgaris which is only known at this one location in Cornwall’ and ‘The site is also of importance for its 12 species of dragonfly, of which the small Red Dragonfly Ceriagrion tenenllum and Keeled Skimmer Orthetrum coerulescens are nationally scarce”
Included within the sale are two temporary structures, a 6x12 steel container and an atv store.
