Land For Sale £520,000
Lot 2 - 45.79 acres (18.53 ha) (as shown edged blue)
The land benefits from direct road access off Little Marston Road and there is also access potentially available off Portway Farm Road which forms its western boundary. The land is divided into four main encloses and comprises both arable and temporary pasture, suitable for a number of arable and livestock uses.
