Description

An excellent opportunity to acquire a singular block of productive grassland extending to approximately 25 Acres (10.117 Hectares) or thereabouts. The land comprises a useful, well - proportioned parcel that is well suited to a range of agricultural, equestrian and amenity uses. Its layout and accessibility make it practical for day-to-day management, grazing and mowing.

The land is located to the east of Nelson and south of Colne in a convenient yet rural setting. The property benefits from direct road frontage onto Southfield Lane, with vehicular access provided via a 12ft galvanised steel gate, allowing straightforward access for agricultural machinery, livestock trailers and general land management.

Classified as Grade 4 land by the Agricultural Land Classification (ALC), the pasture has previously been cropped for silage and used for livestock grazing, demonstrating its productive capability and versatility. The established grass sward is suitable for continued agricultural use, whilst also offering potential for equestrian or amenity purposes. As such, the land is likely to appeal to a wide range of purchasers including neighbouring landowners, farmers, equestrian users and those seeking land for lifestyle or recreational use.

The land is offered as a single block with no internal field boundaries, providing flexibility of use and ease of management. A natural watercourse runs through the holding, with a suitable crossing in place to allow vehicular access between the sections. Please note that a stock-proof fence will be erected along the eastern boundary prior to completion.

The property is offered for sale by Informal Tender. The Guide Price is provided for guidance only and should not be relied upon as an indication of the price at which the property will sell. Interested parties should complete the tender form enclosed with these particulars and return it to Ingham & Yorke, Brookside Barn, Downham, Clitheroe, BB7 4BP, in a plain sealed envelope clearly marked "Land at Shelfield Farm"
