Land for sale in Land / Paddock, Roborough, Winkleigh EX19

The land

Kitchener Land and Planning are delighted to offer for sale this attractive agricultural field which extends to c . 1.40 ha / 3.46 acres and is located on the outskirts of the village of Roborough near Winkleigh in Devon. The field currently benefits from an independent access gate onto a small adjacent lane to the south.

Whilst the field is located outside of a built up area boundary and is not allocated within Local Plan, it could be of interest to larger builders and developers seeking land for ecological mitigation purposes.

Along with more typical agricultural uses, interested parties may also wish to consider the land for alternative uses under Permitted Development Rights Classes B and bc - allowing temporary use of fields for alternative purposes for 28 days per year (Class B) and for temporary campsites on land for not more than 60 days in any calendar year (Class bc).

The field is set c. 500m to the south of Roborough, which offers a village hall, Church and the New Inn pub/restaurant. The village is surrounded by undulating countryside with lovely walks nearby. The nearest villages/towns are Beaford (c. 2 miles), Dolton (c. 4.5 miles), High Bickington (c. 5 miles), Torrington (c. 5 miles) and Winkleigh (c. 7 miles). Torrington offers a broad range of shopping facilities as well as supermarkets, primary and secondary schools and the Plough Arts Centre and cinema. Okehampton also offers a wider range of facilities (inc. Waitrose supermarket) and access to Dartmoor and the A30 - it is around 30 minutes by car. On the attractive north Devon coast are the towns of Bideford and Barnstaple - the latter offers access to the A361 North Devon Link Road, which leads through to Junction 27 of the M5 Motorway as well as Tiverton Parkway Station offering a fast service of trains to London Paddington in just over 2 hours.

However, there may be potential in the longer term for some form of residential development (subject to all requisite consents).
