Unique hideaway in delightful Devon

Seymour Lakes is ideally placed for the perfect countryside retreat brought to you by Fenn Wright, a unique woodland and lake opportunity in Devon. 

Located close to the villages of Highampton and Black Torrington, The two mature lakes and Woodman’s cabin are nestled within beautiful and secluded woodland – the tranquil site is accessed via a private track and extends to 5.2 acres (2.1ha). 

Tom Good, Chartered Surveyor at Fenn Wright describes what’s on offer: “Due to its peaceful setting in rural Devon, the current owners and their family have enjoyed the site as a private holiday hideaway with activities including fishing, canoeing, camping, yoga and swimming. 

“Though the property cannot be used for commercial business use other than forestry, the same restriction applies to the surrounding land, protecting the lakes for the next owner.”

An angler’s paradise, the established spring fed lakes featuring islands and lined with reeds are well stocked with carp, rainbow trout, tench and perch.  There is also a small stream which flows adjacent to the lakes on the eastern boundary making this whole area a water lover’s haven.

Surrounded by extensive woodland and agricultural land, the cabin itself is approximately 9 meters by 3 meters with the appearance of a wooden lodge and houses a kitchen with wood burning stove and essential facilities.  The timber decking provides a wonderful viewing spot over one of the lakes.   

There is parking for up to 5 vehicles on an area of hard standing and a secure steel container gives a storage solution for any fishing or water sports equipment.

This opportunity brings a wonderful new dimension to traditional family holidays and tranquil retreats.  We encourage anyone who is looking to own a slice of Devon-heaven to view the site to experience first-hand the peaceful waterside setting.

Seymour Lakes is being offered for sale freehold and we are inviting offers in excess of the £150,000 guide price. For more information get in touch with Fenn Wright’s Water & Leisure team.
