BioMart is a tool for getting feature data, such as genes or variants. It is not designed for genome data, such as sequence. The easiest way to get sequence between two points is via the Ensembl REST API sequence region endpoint.

It's a REST API, you can access it through whatever language you like. Just Google REST and R.
