Residents have been enquiring about the land sold recently in Maidencombe. Details were forthcoming from Torbay Council officers who were present at last Monday's St Marychurch Community Partnership meeting.
Confusion was caused by the size of the land - 2.2 acres - which is identical to that of Bowden Meadow at Maidencombe Cross.
The land sold is situated at the very northern reaches of Maidencombe, some 80 metres to the NW of Whiteway Lane inland of the A379 (see illustration). The auction realised £46,000 for the Council, exceeding its estimate by some way.
The land in question is part turf and part woodland with views across the bay and it raises the question what the buyer has in mind for the plot of land.
The auctioneer's notes reveal this:
Interest is anticipated from equestrian and small-scale farming types as
well as those on the lookout for a stunning tucked away but readily
accessible piece of Devon for occasional recreational tenting and
caravanning purposes.
