Land For Sale £11,000,000
A significant Buckinghamshire land holding with opportunity
Description
The Lee Estate comprises about 1,118.05 acres (452.47 hectares) of mixed arable, grass and woodland. Well accessed from minor roads, the land is lightly undulating in nature and located in a highly attractive Buckinghamshire location within the Chilterns Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This is first time the Estate has come to the market in over one hundred years.
The land is occupied under a range of tenancy and contract farming arrangements with local farmers. Grazing and mowing agreements are also in place across parts of the land surrounding the village. These expire at the end of September 2023.
The village itself and surrounding land has been the location for a number of films and television dramas, most recently Midsummer Murders.
In addition to the land there is a very pretty detached cottage set within The Park (Lot 3). There is also a useful set of farm buildings at Home Farm (Lot 8) which provide both livestock housing and grain storage. There is a further small building on Lot 5 which may provide opportunity for alternative uses.
The topography and planting of the land would lend itself well to the establishment of a small shoot.
The Estate is being offered for sale as a whole or in 14 lots.
Acreage: 1118.05 Acres
Additional Info
The Lee is a quintessential Buckinghamshire village offering excellent access to the surrounding Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The village has a very pretty village green, church, pub and is synonymous as the backdrop to Midsummer Murders. Further amenities can be found in the larger villages and towns of Great Missenden, Chesham and Amersham, all of which offer a wider range of shopping facilities, amenities and stations.
The Lee is well placed for access to the main communication routes including the M40, A41, M1 and M25. There is a mainline rail service to London Marylebone from Great Missenden (3.5 miles) in under 40 minutes and an underground Metropolitan Line service from Chesham (about 4.5 miles).
Sporting facilities in the area include a vibrant village cricket club and a large network of footpaths and bridleways for walking and riding.
