Situation
The land lies on and with frontage to the south bank of the estuary of the tidal River Teign. The river channel and the intertidal mudflats dominate the landscape, and along with the enclosing hills and expansive cross-estuary views form an important part of this beautiful part of Devon. The appearance of the estuary changes markedly depending on the state of the tide – from full of water and effectively a branch of the sea at high tide, to extensive mud flats with much activity from seabirds and waders when the tide recedes. From the land there are widespread views out to the surrounding landscapes, including the high ground of Dartmoor to the east and the ever-changing estuary it adjoins.

The area is readily accessible via the A380 dual carriageway that links to the motorway network at Exeter. The access to the land is over a short right of way from the public lane.

Description
The land forms a compact parcel of mainly pasture and includes to a strip of native hardwood trees along the foreshore of the estuary. The 3 enclosures are well fenced and has a gated access from the lane.

Along the foreshore, runs part of the Templer Way an 18-mile footpath that follows the historic route that worked granite for building took from the quarries on Dartmoor to the docks at Teignmouth.

There is a water trough on the land supplied from the adjoining owner’s private supply. The purchaser may continue to draw water for agricultural use on condition of installing a sub metre and paying for use.
