STRATEGIC INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY ON THE URBAN FRINGE

Description

Introduction
Hesley Lodge Farm offers a rare opportunity to purchase a strategically well located small farm on the urban fringe. The property which extends to approximately 51.57 acres (20.87 ha) lies in three blocks split by Lodge Lane and Jumble Lane on the southern fringe of Thorpe Hesley. The farm divides into three main land parcels including a 9.86 acre field north of Lodge Lane adjoining existing residential development. The farmhouse, buildings and equestrian facilities lie to the south of Lodge Lane adjacent to the recreation ground and not far from existing development and extends to 33.23 acres. The third parcel of land comprises a grazing field between the village and the motorway with good road frontage and extending to a further 8.48 acres.

In our opinion, the farm will be of interest to strategic land buyers and Investors due to the strategic location of the land as well as the potential for redeveloping the farm yard site. For those with equestrian interests there is potential to further expand the existing livery business or use the facilities for personal or riding school use . The stone barn and farm buildings footprint also offers potential for redevelopment or expansion of the building footprint.

The main internal body of the Barn is 15.5m x 5.3m plus a 2.5 m extension along part of the north elevation.
