<b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">WHY BUY THIS LAND?</b> This is a fantastic opportunity for you to own an attractive parcel of grazing land in a beautiful and popular location. Situated on a quiet road, the land lies just north-west of Flamstead and south of Markyate. It benefits from direct gated access that is set-back from Friendless Lane and is enclosed in the main by a mixture of fencing, mature trees & hedgerow. This 4.19 acres of pasture land is gently undulating and borders an equestrian paddock to the west. It enjoys stunning views over the Hertfordshire countryside to the north. This idyllic setting is complimented by good transport links, meaning the land is well-connected to Harpenden, St Albans & London. With the benefits of both town & country, it is no wonder that property prices in the area are <i>double</i> the national average. This reflects the desirability of the area as a place to live and own property - including land. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">ACCESS</b> The land enjoys road frontage onto Friendless Lane. Gated access, which is set-back from the road, provides safe & secure access and can be found in the southern corner of the land. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">WHAT3WORDS</b> The approximate location of the gate can be found here - ///doing.bolts.trades <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">LAND VALUES</b> Land values in the region rose by 6% last year, higher than the national average, despite numerous challenges in the local market & global economy. This once again shows the inherent resilience of agricultural land as a tangible asset. With a wide range of potential uses, agricultural land remains an attractive investment for a diverse range of buyers. This is supported by the fact that, in the past 5 years, land values have risen by 31%, outperforming the FTSE 100, UK property prices and interest from savings in the bank. These rises are driven by historically low levels of land availability, as demand continues to outstrip supply. <b style="color:green;font-weight:bold">LOCAL DEVELOPMENT</b> The local area has seen some small scale agricultural development.
