Land For Sale £200,000
The Land
The land lies in a single contiguous block with direct vehicular access on the southern boundary from the Cranbrook Road.The land is typical of traditional Wealden Grade 3 permanent pasture, and has been the subject of very little maintenance, having been vacant for some years.
The property is subdivided into six small fields, each edged with a mixture of native hedging and dilapidated post and wire fencing.Both the land and building would now benefit from a programme of repair and improvement.
The Building
Adjacent to the principal access point on the southern boundary is the portal framed Atcost barn which has a gross external area of approximately 140 sq m (1,500 sq ft). The building is of concrete framed construction under a corrugated fibre cement roof.
