Land For Sale £150,000
BEST AND FINAL OFFERS BY 12 NOON ON THURSDAY 2nd NOVEMBER 2023
The Land
Land available in a picturesque position close to Hesket Newmarket and just outside the Lake District National Park, extending in all to around 21.74 acres.
Pasture
Around 8.18 acres of pasture land divided into two paddocks. The land has excellent access and the boundaries are well-defined with fencing and hedging. Gated access links the two paddocks and each paddock has a gate directly to the access road. The land is both level and well-drained, offering excellent grazing. We believe that mains water is available on the land but is not yet connected due to a good supply of water in the stream.
Woodland
Around 13.56 acres of mixed woodland with a fine variety of species including some semi-ancient trees. The majority of the land is mature native woodland with an additional strip of developing woodland. The land is a haven for birds and wildlife of many types.
Local Information
The land is located close to the village of Hesket Newmarket, a small village north west of Penrith with a post office, pub and village shop. A further range of amenities can be found in nearby Caldbeck, along with a variety of boutique gift shops. The regional capital of Carlisle is within easy reach and offers an excellent range of social, leisure and retail opportunities and an attractive pedestrian area, along with an impressive cathedral and castle. The property is also well-located for access to Penrith, the Lake District National Park and the Scottish Borders.

Completion

Woodland Grant Scheme
The property benefitted from a grant from the Woodland Grant Scheme for the area of developing woodland that continues into 2024. It is a legal requirement that the new owner succeeds the obligations under that scheme. The Forestry Commission must be informed within 3 months of the sale taking place, and the new owners must succeed to the scheme within 12 months from the date the sale is completed.
It is a condition of the sale that the purchaser is responsible for this and a legally binding clause in the deed of sale will make the new owner (and not the seller) responsible for any grant money repayable as a result of non-compliance.
Viewings
Viewing of the property is strictly by appointment. Do not enter any part of the land without prior consent and/or accompaniment by the selling agent.
Health and Safety
Given the potential hazards of the land, we ask you to be as vigilant as possible in making your inspection for your own personal safety.
