Property description & features

  • Tenure: Freehold
  • Approximately 16.67 acres strategically located farmland with development potential (STTP)
  • Walking distance to thriving town and beaches
  • Mains services available in local area
16.67 acres of farmland available for sale in prime location for the first time in almost 100 years. Despite its obvious future planning potential, the land is immediately available without uplift clauses. The neighbouring landowner has achieved a planning consent to build 30 homes, which is also available separately.

LOCATION
The land is located on the edge of Bude, close to the popular residential road of Kings Hill and with easy proximity to both the picturesque canal and marshland footpaths which both lead into the centre of Bude. The town itself offers a comprehensive range of shopping, business and leisure facilities including swimming pool, all weather floodlit tennis courts and an 18 hole golf course. The town has both primary and secondary schooling and two sandy beaches both popular with families and surfers. The A39 ‘Atlantic Highway’ is approximately a quarter of a mile away and provides excellent access north to the larger towns of Bideford and Barnstaple and south to Wadebridge, Padstow & Rock.

DESCRIPTION
This block of farmland is strategically located on the edge of Bude and has been the subject of speculation for development for many years. It is the first time it has come on to the market for sale for almost 100 years. The neighbouring landowner has achieved a planning consent to build 30 houses and Kivells have just launched this site simultaneously. (Please see separate particulars.) This site with planning permission could provide direct access onto Kings Hill, one of the most desirable roads in Bude. There is a significant willingness to discuss the provision of an access route from Kings Hill on equitable terms. Alternative existing access ways are located on St Anns Hill Road & Bagbury Lane Road.

The vendors have decided that they would prefer to sell this strategically situated land without any uplift clauses in order to release value today and permit the purchaser to develop their own plans for the land rather than enter into an option/promotion/uplift agreement.

Bude has experienced a significant rise in popularity and house values within the last decade and is becoming an understandable ‘hotspot’ for rising demand due to its fantastic seaside Cornish location and community feel.

The gently sloping site occupies a highly sought-after location with views over the Neet Valley, Bude, the downs and cliffs at Efford and the Atlantic Ocean. The site would be well-suited to an experienced developer to best maximise the value and apply for planning permission according to their own designs and style. The land is currently all laid to a herbal ley grass mix and is productive farmland suitable for arable and grassland production. Alternatively, the land will appeal to a farmer/landowner who may wish to acquire excellent farmland with future potential uplift development value.

The land is accessed from the south via St Anns Hill and from the west via Bagbury Lane Road by way of a right of access granted over part of the vendor’s retained lane (shown hatched in purple). The neighbouring owner of the development site for 30 dwellings (shown hatched in orange), are also very willing to discuss providing access through their development to Kings Hill Road. Alternatively, the purchaser may choose to acquire an existing property site on Kings Hill to provide access.

The area marked in yellow is being retained by the vendor who is intending on applying for a small scale residential development.

The landowner owns other land in the vicinity which may be suitable for BNG.

TENURE
Full freehold title is available.

LOCAL AUTHORITY

SERVICES

AGENTS NOTE
The Transfer Deed of the property will include reserved rights for the vendor to use the retained land for any purpose including all types of farming operations, commercial business activities, operating a campsite or to build on or develop any part of the retained land and rights of way for all purposes for the vendor and their successors in title of any part of the retained land over the area hatched black on the plan to access the retained land from the gateway. Full and free rights will also be reserved to install, construct, lay, use, maintain and repair all services over the area hatched black.

The Transfer Deed will also include covenants whereby if the property is developed, the developer will be required to construct and install an access road and footpath across the area hatched black from the gateway on the road to the boundary of the retained land to provide vehicular and pedestrian access for all purposes to the retained land, as well as installing service media connections up to the boundary of the retained land. For clarity, the buyer shall be responsible for constructing the estate road to an adoptable size and standard to sufficiently serve the property and the retained land (in the event the retained land is ever developed in the future) and also ensuring the access road and footpath is adopted by the local authority as soon as possible once constructed.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    Kivells can be traced back to 1885 when William Thomas Kivell set himself up in business as an auctioneer and land agent, first in Pyworthy and then in Holsworthy. What follows is an account of the Kivell family over four generations in the development of the firm of Kivells, from its origins as a one-man business in the late nineteenth century to its position today as one of the leading firms of Auctioneers, property agents and chartered surveyors in the West Country. William Kivell went on to grow the business and was joined by his sons forming Kivell and Sons, selling farm property and holding livestock auctions. Kivells is a very different firm from that founded by William Thomas Kivell in 1885, however the nature of the business and its ethics remain the same all be it with a much larger area of operation. The firm has recently became a limited company with one of the five directors being David Kivell, a great-grandson of William Kivell. It is organised around five divisions:- Agricultural sales and auctions (including the 3 livestock markets at Holsworthy, Hallworthy and Exeter and on farm sales throughout the Westcountry). Farm, Residential and Commercial Property (covering sales, auctions and lettings). Professional and Valuation work (including surveys, property management, rent reviews and full project management) Machinery and Heritage department (specialise in the sale of steam engines and all manner of vehicles, agricultural and domestic bygones). Kivells now operate from 5 main offices (Exeter, Holsworthy, Launceston, Liskeard and Bude) and 3 market centres (Holsworthy, Exeter and Hallworthy) and the firm employs around 170 full and part-time staff.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on August 30, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
