5 Situation The Salston Estate is situated in a highly attractive and accessible location just 9 miles east of the Exeter/M5 Junction 29. The Estate lies on the south western edge of the thriving and expanding town of Ottery St Mary while its western boundary abuts the eastern edge of the popular village of West Hill. Ottery St Mary lies within the East Devon district of Devon, on the River Otter, about 10 miles (16 km) east of Exeter on the B3174, comfortably commutable by car and bus and well within the economic catchment of the city. The town takes its name from the River Otter on which it stands. The St Mary element refers to the fact that the town belonged to the church of St Mary in Rouen in The town offers a wide range of shops, services and amenities including hospital, schools, supermarkets and sports clubs. The coast at Sidmouth is located approximately 7 miles to the south. Access to Exeter, Exeter Airport and the M5 is principally served by the A30 located approximately 2 miles to the west of the town. The Cathedral city of Exeter offers the full compliment of educational, health, cultural, sporting, retail and business opportunities befitting of its status as a regional centre. Description The Salston Estate extends in all to approximately acres and is a superb agricultural investment opportunity offering great potential. The land lies within a ring fenced block and is highly accessible with good road frontage and excellent internal tracks. It comprises a fantastic run of highly productive agricultural land, predominantly arable and capable of a wide range of cropping. The topography of the land is generally gently sloping with the fields on the western boundary against the River Otter being level. The fields are divided into good sized workable enclosures and the soils predominantly comprise well drained deep reddish loamy soils over gravel of the Newnham Series. The land is in excellent heart having been farmed to a high standard under an arable rotation. There are about 50 acres of amenity and commercial woodland including 8.75 acres of woodland planted in 2011 under the Farm Woodland Premium Scheme. 13 acres of commercial woodland have recently been replanted with Douglas Fir. Given its strategic location on the edge of the built up boundary of both Ottery St Mary and West Hill there is significant potential for future development (STP). The steel framed grainstore/ general purpose building (25.9m x 22.86m) is situated on a level site and is surrounded by a large area of hard standing. Being centrally situated with excellent access via a private farm road this site is ideal for further expansion of the farm buildings and potentially for the construction of a new farmhouse (STP).
