Sunnyside wood - Over 3 acres, £35,000

A great wood for those wishing to escape the hurly-burly of modern life.

This beautiful woodland has also been adopted by Red Deer, Barn and Tawny Owls, Buzzards and Foxes. The elusive Dormice have also left signs of inhabiting the wood.

Umberleigh is a quiet village set around the old three-arched Umberleigh bridge, by the river Taw (home of Tarka the Otter). Umberleigh has a village Post Office, Tea Rooms, Railway Station and a popular pub.

The woodland is only 6 miles from Barnstaple on the A377 with the towns of South Molton and Torrington 8 miles away on the B3227. Umberleigh is served by the Tarka line train with wonderful views to Umberleigh Station. Trains run from Barnstaple to Exeter every hour.

The villages of Chittlehampton, Chittlehamholt and Atherington are only two miles in each direction from the bridge, and all well worth a visit.

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: £35,000 Freehold
Location: Warkleigh, Umberleigh, near Barnstaple, Devon

Directions

Heading North on A377 take a right turn to Umberleigh by 'The Rising Sun' pub. Continue over the bridge and take first right turn by the Tea Rooms.

Continue past Post Office, over the railway crossing and on for approx. two miles, following signs to Warkleigh. When you reach Warkleigh, look for a farmhouse and a large church on your right. About 100 metres after this turn right at Pool cross, signposted 'Pool' (a no through road). Follow the track down for around 200 metres until it splits into two.

If you have a car you will need to park to the left just before the split, making sure you don't block access to the field gate and the lane itself. If you have a 4x4 or the ground clearance you can continue.

Follow the track straight on down the hill, passing the 'woodlands for sale' sign on the first gate to the right, to where the river crosses the track. Park to the left just after this.

Enter the first gate at the bottom of the hill and follow the track until it there is a track up hill to your right, take this right hand track and walk up until you see a turning area and just after this is the Sunnyside wood sign where there is a track into the coppice area.
