Situation
The site is situate to the East of Gainsborough Road, Lea, having well maintained access directly from the road, via 2 secure gates. Bordered by established farm land to all sides, and flanked to the West by the tidal River Trent. Gainsborough itself is only 2 miles to the North, and the City of Lincoln some 16 miles South East.

Description
A wonderful and rare opportunity to acquire a freehold parcel of land, complete with pond, of approximately 4.44 acres in size. The pond itself occupies circa 1 acre of the site, the rest being grassland, established English trees and hedgerow to the perimeter.

Previously, the pond has operated as a fishing syndicate, and whilst exact stock is unknown, there has always been an established head of mixed coarse fish present, including carp.

There has been a well regarded, and exclusive shoot operating from the site over the last 35 years, with a mix of wildfowl, and the proximity to the River Trent being particularly beneficial.

The site has been family owned for some 35 years and it is rare something of this nature comes to market, having been maintained and kept in such condition.
