Lamerton, near Tavistock

For sale as a whole or in two lots, a well-located and accessible parcel of amenity land of 10.92 acres in all, including river frontage and an agricultural building in need of some repair.

Situation - This parcel of land is located within the peaceful and picturesque village of Lamerton, 2.5 miles to the north of Tavistock, in West Devon. Sitting in an accessible and slightly elevated, west-facing position in the very centre of the village, the site is sheltered and private in places, although with residential properties neighbouring to the southwest. Local amenities within Lamerton include the hugely popular Blacksmith Arms Public House, only 200 yards away, the "Good" OFSTED-rated primary school, community centre and public playing fields, and Lamerton Stores fuel station and mini-market, 0.75 miles away.

Tavistock is a thriving market town on the edge of Dartmoor National Park in West Devon, forming part of a designated World Heritage Site, rich in history and tradition dating to the 10th century, and famed for being the birthplace of Sir Francis Drake. Today, the town offers a superb range of shopping, recreational and educational facilities, whilst the largely 19th-century town centre is focused around the Pannier Market and Bedford Square, in which regular farmers' markets are held. The maritime city of Plymouth is 15 miles to the south of the town, and Exeter lies some 40 miles to the northeast, providing air, rail and motorway connections to London and the rest of the UK.

Description - This interesting and appealing parcel of amenity land comprises two pasture and meadow fields with good road access and partial river frontage, in an accessible, largely west-facing, village location. The land is available by Private Treaty, as a whole or in two lots, as shown on our accompanying lotting plan. If sold as two lots, a right of access will be granted across Lot 1 for the benefit of Lot 2, together with the necessary provisions for the reception of boundary structures and gate accesses. Within the lower section of the southern field - forming part of Lot 2 - is an agricultural barn which is in need of repair but may offer scope for rebuilding or replacement, subject to any necessary consents.

The land slopes gently from west to east/southeast and could be suitable for grazing or, with the provision of stabling, equestrian purposes and, given its frontage to the river Lumburn, possibly some drainage at the western end where it can be marshy. Otherwise, the land is perfect for amenity use, including recreational camping under the 28-day permitted development rule. Other uses, including development or the erection of other buildings, may be possible, again subject to any necessary consents, and interested parties should make their own enquiries with the local planning authority in this regard.
