Description

Opportunities of this nature are rarely available. Set in open countryside with far reaching views, we are delighted to offer for sale approximately 27.92 acres (11.29 hectares) of productive permanent pasture land.

The Property
The land extends to approximately 27.92 acres (11.29 hectares) and comprises an attractive block of permanent pasture situated in a convenient and accessible location, lying close to the public highway.

The pasture is gently rolling in nature and is interspersed with well established and mature trees throughout, creating a pleasing rural setting while also providing natural shelter for livestock and visual interest across the holding.

The boundaries are well defined, consisting of a combination of traditional dry stone walling and post-and-wire fencing, offering both character and practicality.

The mixture of boundary treatments reflects the rural surroundings and contributes to the overall charm of the land, while ensuring suitability for stock management.

The proximity to the highway enhances accessibility for agricultural vehicles, horseboxes, and general day-to-day use, without detracting from the land’s rural appeal.

The site offers a high degree of versatility and lends itself to a variety of uses, making it an attractive opportunity for a wide range of purchasers.

It is particularly well suited to those with equestrian interests, whether for private use, paddock creation, exercising, or small-scale training purposes. In addition, the land is ideal for grazing livestock, providing quality pasture suitable for cattle, sheep, or other stock, and offering flexibility for agricultural or lifestyle buyers.
