Diptford, Totnes

6 Acres of private mixed woodland with timber shed and established pathways

SITUATION
The land is located in the Parish of Diptford, a desirable South Hams village surrounded by rolling countryside and within the South Devon National Landscape. The village offers a welcoming community and a well regarded primary school, with a network of country lanes and walks on the doorstep.

Totnes, just six miles away, is a historic and thriving market town known for its vibrant atmosphere, independent shops, and excellent transport connections, including a mainline station with services to London Paddington, Exeter and Plymouth. The nearby village of South Brent also offers a good range of amenities and access to Dartmoor, while the A38 Expressway is easily accessible, making commuting convenient.

DESCRIPTION
Extending to approximately 6.12 acres, the land forms a peaceful and varied parcel of mixed woodland and natural habitat, thoughtfully planted and shaped over time to create a rich and biodiverse environment. A series of meandering grass tracks and glades provide access throughout, bordered by native species including hazel, willow, birch, alder, hawthorn and young oak, with areas of more open ground interspersed between denser shelter belts. Alongside the woodland planting, there is an extensive range of established fruit trees, adding further seasonal interest and enhancing the land's appeal for hobby growing, wildlife and future self-sufficiency. The woodland has an established understorey of ferns, bramble and seasonal wildflowers, offering excellent potential for conservation, coppicing, recreation or small scale woodland management.

At the heart of the land is a timber framed shed, with level ground around it ideal for storage, hobby use or as a base for woodland activities. The setting is private and largely enclosed by traditional Devon banks and hedgerows, with glimpses of the surrounding countryside and distant farmland.

ACCESS
The land is approached via two separate five bar gates situated along the north western boundary, providing convenient vehicular entry from the adjoining lane.

SERVICES
No services are connected at the site.
