Description
The land consists of an attractive block of grassland and woodland which lends itself to a variety of uses subject to necessary planning consents, which extends in total to 12.73 hectares (31.45 acres) approximately.
Lot 1 consists of parcel 4652 and extends to 4.7 hectares (11.61 acres) or thereabouts, which is mainly grassland which has previously been cropped for hay. There is a proportion of broad-leaf woodland on the northern boundary which provides excellent shelter as well as making the land secluded and private. The land benefits from good access from a stoned private road from the A692 public highway.
Lot 2 consists mainly of parcel 4633 and extends to 3.19 hectares (7.88 acres) which is predominantly a Scots Pine conifer plantation. This is subject to an English Woodland Grant Scheme which there is a licence to carryout thinning of this woodland until 30 January 2025 and no more than 30% can be removed evenly over this specific compartment 9a. This parcel again has a good stoned private road from the A692.
Lot 3 consists of parcel 4622 and extends to 4.84 hectares (11.96 acres) or thereabouts, of predominantly Scots Pine plantation and is known as compartment 11a and again forms part of the English Woodland Grant Scheme. There is a licence to thin this woodland until 30 January 2025. This parcel also has good access from the A692.
It is considered that both Lots 2 and 3 would ideally lend themselves to diversification for leisure activities such as a high ropes course or paint-balling enterprise subject to the necessary planning consents.
Location and situation
