Tucked away at the end of a small country lane, Pelham Meadow occupies a private and quiet corner of North Devon where one can switch off and enjoy the peaceful beauty of the land. The meadow is flanked to the east by an exceptional belt of woodland which stretches down to a babbling stream, itself marking the eastern boundary. The land presents a canvas upon which a new custodian could shape and enhance the landscape through tree planting and rewilding, to compliment the towering trees which already stand there.

At the end of the access track, there is an area of hardstanding for parking in the north west corner, before the land stretches out in a south easterly direction. The heart of the meadow is a lush pasture, having had a prior agricultural use as grazing land for livestock as a part of Great Knightacott Farm. It is embraced along its southern boundary by a vibrant stretch of broadleaved species which shield the land, swaying easily in the breeze above a minor stream which drains the land. The open land sweeps all the way around to the south east corner, hugging a delightful belt of woodland which gradually scatters into the open meadowland. As one approaches the woodland fringe, there is a gentle dispersal of trees which gradually thicken, becoming a truly magical stretch of broadleaved species. One can meander through the vibrant understory to the stream at the western edge which provides a valuable source of water to the land. Clearings in the woodland provide space to pitch a tent for a spot of camping.

Pelham Meadow is an ideal place to plant trees, with new young woodland complimenting the woodland that already exists and extending the habitats that support local wildlife, such as badgers which are known to be active nearby. Tree planting could be undertaken in tandem with a rewilding approach which would rely on the seeds from the established woodland driving natural regeneration. There is also scope to plant a new hedgerow along the northern boundary which is currently demarcated by a line of peeled stakes. The stakes continue into the woodland along a historical bank, marked as a feature on OS maps. These stakes are marked with turquoise pant.

At about 5 acres in size, Pelham Meadow presents a varied and manageable parcel of private land which could be enjoyed and enhanced, and would be of great appeal to those with conservation, environmental and amenity interests.

Pelham Meadow is situated a short distance to the south of Fremington which lies on the River Taw estuary. The town of Barnstaple is approximately 4 miles to the north-east whilst Bideford and Instow, both situated on the River Torridge estuary, are approximately 6 miles to the west.

The purchasers of the land will be asked to enter into a covenant to ensure the quiet and peaceful enjoyment of adjoining woodlands and meadows.
