Description

The Property - A rare opportunity for purchasers to acquire an attractive parcel of mainly sloping mixed woodland. The woodland occupies a private, peaceful location within the larger Cottshayne Hill Plantation and is located within the East Devon National Landscape (formerly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty).

The woodland has areas of conifers, some mature broadleaved trees, two small ponds with species on site including Silver Birch, Ash, Oak, Beech and Holly.
