Description

For Sale by Informal Tender closing 12 noon on Monday 10th August 2026

A rare and exceptional opportunity to acquire this peaceful and truly unique property, nestled within the beautiful Avon Valley adjoining the River Avon, near Gara Bridge and Loddiswell.
Extending to approximately 3.68 acres (1.49 hectares), the land has been thoughtfully designed, carefully nurtured and meticulously maintained over the past eleven years to create an outstanding wildlife haven. Boasting spectacular valley views and an array of distinctive features, the property occupies a remarkable position within the Avon catchment's important wildlife corridor, offering an idyllic retreat for nature lovers and those seeking tranquility.

Situation

Hazlewood Meadow is arranged into three distinct areas, each thoughtfully created to enhance both biodiversity and enjoyment of the landscape. The property also benefits from a versatile camping/day shed with an adjoining machinery store.
Accessed directly from the public highway via level, stone-surfaced gateways providing year-round access, the upper section features a spring-fed wildlife pond surrounded by numerous wild cherry trees. Beyond lies a species-rich wildflower meadow, now in its sixth year of establishment, where vibrant drifts of cornflowers and yellow rattle flourish. Below, an extensive agroforestry planting of fruit and nut trees provides an abundant source of nectar and food for birds, bees and other wildlife, further enhancing the meadow's ecological value.

The Land

A terrace enjoys breathtaking views across the Avon Valley, while a network of
meandering paths leads down to the banks of the River Avon. Here, the
historic railway bridge forms a striking backdrop to this tranquil riverside
setting, creating an idyllic habitat for fish, kingfishers and a wealth of other
wildlife.
The lower section has been recently planted as a traditional orchard, featuring
a carefully selected collection of local heritage fruit varieties together with
walnut trees and an attractive grove of medlars, providing both seasonal
interest and productive potential.
