Description

METHOD OF SALE The property is offered for sale by Traditional Online Auction (unless sold prior.) The auction end date is Tuesday 15th July 2025 at 5pm. The vendor reserves the right to withdraw, sell or alter the land for sale prior to the auction end date. SITUATION The land is situated in an attractive rural location, surrounded by open countryside and approximately 1.2 miles north of the pretty village of Thorne St. Margaret in Somerset. The village of Langford Budville is 1.3 miles to the north-east and the town of Wellington lies 3.5 miles south-east of the woodland. DESCRIPTION - AUCTION GUIDE PRICE £45,000 to £50,000 The land totals approximately 0.62 acres and is surrounded on three sides by the river Tone, which ripples gently creating a calm and peaceful piece of heaven. The river winds around a beach, little islands and eventually spills under the double arch road bridge. Access to the river is via 2 sets of steps making this a perfect place to paddle, dip, skim stones and catch fish and the banks have been bolstered with willow and alder trees. The current owners have transformed this previous bramble wilderness into a meadow of wild flowers, perennial gardens, a bluebell grove and hundreds of bulbs of wild garlic, daffodils and snowdrops.. They have planted a variety of native trees, such as weeping willow, weeping beech, silver birch, rowan, field maple, pear and elderflowers amongst mature exotic trees such as Indian bean, Himalayan birch, sweet gum, cherrycot, cherry, quince, genco and golden rain tree. Many birds, damselflies and butterflies have made their habitat here. A small copse leads to a section of ground devoted to wild flowers and a beach area. Wellisford is wonderfully free from light pollution making star gazing an easy activity. There is a 4 berth caravan, sympathetically painted to blend into the background and temporary veranda structure with decking. There is also a horse box which has been used as a shed to store tools and other equipment. There is a gravel path to the caravan, gravel parking area. FISHING RIGHTS The fishing rights on the River Tone are not included in the sale and belong to a third party. ACCESS There is direct access to the land from the public highway. SERVICES There are no mains services connected to the land. A mains water pipe is situated on the land, and could be connected by Wessex water for a fee. The Internet can be accessed via 4G Vodafone services. TENURE The land is owned freehold and is registered on the Land Registry.
