Land For Sale £950,000
148.78 acres (60.21 hectares) of productive and accessible farmland, woodland and traditional farm building west of High Bankhill and Kirkoswald.
Description
Jack's Barn - A traditional stone built linear range of farm buildings in a semi-ruined condition, comprising walls without roof timbers or coverings, located on the fringe of the farmland. These buildings benefit from a planning consent for change of use from redundant agricultural barns to a sporting lodge (Eden District Council application reference: 10/0438). Material operation / implementation of the planning consent was confirmed in December 2012.
The planning consent permits holiday use only and precludes occupation as a principal or second home, furthermore, the development must remain ancillary to the property known as Low Scales Farm and shall remain a single planning unit and not be rented as an independent unit, sold or otherwise disposed of without the prior consent of the Local Planning Authority (lpa).
It may be possible to vary the planning restrictions outlined above, potential purchasers should make their own enquiries and investigations. For the avoidance of doubt, the lpa will be required to consent to a sale of this sub-lot. Full copy planning documents are available on request.
Land - The land lies in a ring fence, divided by Townend Beck, with good road frontage on two sides. Undulating in height between 150 to 180 metres above sea level the land is classified as Grade 3 under the maff Provisional Agricultural Land Classification. Soils are from the Bridgnorth and Salwick series, both common to the locality, described as reddish loam soil suitable for grassland or cereals. The historic cropping has comprised a mixture of temporary and permanent grassland with cereal and game cropping in some areas. The land is well fenced with stonewalls and hedgerows forming field boundaries.
Woodland - The woodland sits in a single block in the centre of the land adjacent to Townend Beck and adds significant amenity appeal to the sale. The species mix is predominantly
coniferous maturing well with some potential for initial extraction / thinnings. The woodland (together with other land) forms part of a driven game shoot utilising the game crops adjacent.
