Approximately 4.50 Acres of Mature Amenity & Woodland

An attractive and unusual parcel of mature amenity land and woodland extending to approximately 4.50 acres (stms), situated on the fringe of Dereham and adjoining established residential properties.

The land is irregular in shape and offers an appealing mixture of mature trees and woodland, open amenity areas and a pond, creating an attractive and private natural setting.

A particular feature is the benefit of access from both Dereham Road and Rushmeadow Road, providing convenient access from two separate points.

The land has remained in the same ownership for many years and represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial area of amenity land close to residential development and within easy reach of Dereham town centre.

The property will be sold with vacant possession and may appeal to neighbouring owners, amenity or woodland purchasers and those seeking land for recreational or other uses, subject to any necessary consents.

NB. Please note that the land sits in two postcode areas; NR19 2PS and NR19 2NW.

Viewings Any reasonable time during daylight hours. Dual access off Dereham Road and Rushmeadow Road. Prospective purchasers should note that no liability can be held against either the vendor or the Agents, Auction House East Anglia as Auctioneers, in respect of any viewing of the land. All persons viewing should be aware that they enter the site entirely at their own risk
Note Please would all interested parties register their interest with the Auctioneers in order that they may be kept up to date with any developments.
