LOT 2 - LAND

Approximately 22.28 acres (9.02 hectares) of high quality productive land currently laid to grass but is equally suitable for arable as well as grazing/mowing rotations. The soils are base-rich loamy and clayey with good fertility.

The land benefits from well kept fences alongside mature trees and hedgerows. There is a large pool providing a natural source of irrigation, livestock water and drainage benefits.

A planning application submission has been made to the local Authority for separate field access off the adopted road to the east.

LOT 3 - LAND AND BUILDINGS

Lot 3 has a separate roadside access. The buildings surround a circular yard and include a modern stable building (17.0m x 11.5m) of brick construction with a corrugated sheet roof. The floor is concreted with and there are skylights to the roof. There are seven separate stalls, each of 4m x 4m, steel framed with wooden boarding. Each stall has a sliding door and a small window. There is a designated area for storage of equipment, feed etc. and access to water/electricity.

There is also a steel portal framed building (11.1m x 7.1m) with a corrugated sheet roof and cladding with a single open side. This is currently used for storage. There is a small metal shed adjoining.

The high quality land amounts to approximately 13.29 acres (5.38 hectares) and is well suited to grazing, mowing and arable rotations. There are well kept fences alongside mature trees and hedgerows.

The buildings and land have previously had an equestrian focus and lend themselves to this use with great potential to develop further such as the installation of a menage (subject to gaining the necessary planning consent).
