Situation
Lying to the north of Venton Manor within a short drive of at the A38, bringing both Exeter and Plymouth within easy commuting distance. The land is approached up a driveway to Venton Manor where a track is accessible, leading to Ventonhills Copse.
Description
Ventonhills Copse is a short walk from Venton House. The woodland is approximately half designated ancient woodland and half hazel coppice (with many ancient trees in it as well), extending to 14.61 acres in total, which have all been sympathetically managed over the years under the current ownership. There is a very large disused quarry, a lake (with its own island) and the Bidwell Brook running throughout it. It lies in the heart of the beautiful Bidwell Valley just to the north of Venton House. There is 4x4 vehicle access to a small clearing in the heart of the woods, where there is a cabin (25'×14' approximately) with a wood burner, a PV 240v solar system, a rainwater catchment system, and an outdoor kitchen on the front veranda. It has glazed windows and is well insulated throughout. In addition, in the clearing there is a small polytunnel, a compost loo, a caravan and a vegetable patch.
Description Continued
The woods are at the heart of and integral to the Bidwell Brook wildlife corridor, which runs from the edge of Dartmoor to the Dartington estate. There is an abundance of rare and beautiful wildlife; otters, deer, foxes, dormice, bats, owls, buzzards, geese, woodcock, and a mass of other invertebrates, amphibians and reptiles. In the spring they are a riot of bluebells and ramsons and throughout the year a constant changing delight of wildlife. This woodland is a truly magical place.
