Part of an idyllic North Devon fishing lake plot is on the market for an asking price of just £125,000.

Nestled within approximately 50 acres of woodland, the plot is perfect for anglers looking for a quiet place to fish with fishing rights including in the purchase.

Estate agents claims the site is also a great investment for families looking to ‘get away from it all’ and retreat from the pressures of everyday life. The plot is one of the five south facing 0.25 acre sites situated around the man-made lake, which is frequented by woodland creatures including deer, hares, foxes, bats, buzzards, tawny and barn owls and pheasants.

After purchasing the plot, the lucky buyer will be able to erect their own lodge on the land for use as a holiday letting or personal vacation home. Colin, from Harding and Co Estate Agent in Bideford, said they have had a lot of interest in these ‘rare’ plots up for sale and have already sold three.

“Even if you don’t like fishing, it’s nice to have water in the background and a garden to play in. It’s a great place if you have dogs. It’s a rare opportunity to be able to buy a property so close to a lake with all the other added features.

“Judging by the response from people, they are hard to find. It’s definitely an investment purchase. The only thing we have to get across to people is that you can’t live there full time.

“While you can stay there 12 months of the year, the planning for these is holiday use only. They’re a good investment if you want to build it, let it out and use it occasionally yourself but you cannot live there all year round, which a lot of people have assumed.”
