Description
Lot 3 – 90.71 acres acres of permanent pasture within a ring fence. Shaded red on the sale plan.
Lot 3 comprises a ring-fenced block of grassland with small sections of woodland and rough grazing extending to about 90.71 acres in total. The land is generally level but is sloping in part. Lot 3 benefits from multiple access points from Porters Lane to the west and Douse Lane to the north. The land is suitable for mowing and grazing in the most part.
The land benefits from a natural spring water supply. We understand there is a mains connection available from the adjoining highway, however purchasers must rely upon their own enquiries.
Land Type
The land is classified as principally Grade 4, with some areas of Grade 5 according to the Natural England Land Classification maps.
The land does vary in description but is generally described as slowly permeable loamy and clayey soils capable of grass production for dairying or beef.
The land has been well managed and is presented in good heart.
Fixtures and Fittings
The carpets and curtains are included. All other fixtures and fittings, garden ornaments, stone troughs and statuary are excluded. Some may be available by separate negotiation.
The inclusion or exclusion of any agricultural fixtures and fittings is to be discussed.
