Bovett Wood - SOLD, Devon - About 4 ⅓ acres, £45,000

Bovett Wood is the perfect place in which to escape, and a wonderful opportunity to observe nature close up. The woodland has a mix of various conifer species, including western red cedar and Douglas Fir as well as an area of mature mixed broadleaved trees. Ancient hedge banks border the southern end of the wood containing established oak, beech, holly and birch. The wood also benefits from a spring giving both a source of water and a wetland area, which would be ideal to create a pond.

The woodland has a fabulous variety of flora and fauna. Our local manager has seen both Roe and Fallow deer within the wood and a family of buzzards that can be heard and seen in the wooded area opposite.

Accessed by an excellent forestry track from the highway and set on gentle slopes makes Bovett Wood an ideal base for camping and family forestry.

Located in a beautiful area near Ball Hill, which is convenient for the Jurassic coastline. The coastal towns of Sidmouth and Lyme Regis are both nearby. The market town of Honiton is just a ten-minute drive providing a good range of shops and a train station.

The purchasers of the woodland will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.

Price: £45,000 Freehold
Location: Farway, Honiton, Devon
Size: About 4 ⅓ acres for sale

Directions

From Honiton, take the A375 towards Sidmouth. Continue for about 2 miles and turn left opposite the Hare & Hounds Public House, signposted Seaton. Carry along this road and take the second left at Roncombe Gate cross. Proceed for a short distance and take the first left signposted Farway.

Follow the road down the hill for nearly half a mile where you will see a track to your right with 'Woodlands for sale' signs. Park here leaving access to the gate.

Go through the gate and follow the track until the next metal gate. Climb carefully over this gate (the owner will get a key for the padlock) and follow this track all the way through the woodland until you come to a crossroad in the track and a sign saying 'Goyle wood' in front of you. Take the track left, down the hill until you see the Bovett Wood sign in the entrance on your right. You can enter the wood here, or indeed follow the track that continues down the hill, forking right and following into the Northern end of the wood.
