DESCRIPTION
Lot 3 comprises of approx. 17.13 acres of which 14.35 is excellent agricultural land which is annually cut for silage/hay. It would though readily plough if required and the flat and well-proportioned fields are easily managed. In addition to the agricultural land there is a proportion of amenity woodland which adds amenity and diversity to the property.
Lot 3 also however includes a steel framed agricultural building. Currently used for storage, it could though provide the infrastructure for any small holder and or equine enthusiast, as it would readily house livestock. Mains water is within Lot 3 and could thus in theory be directed to the building if required. The availability of a building and excellent agricultural land, in a convenient package and close to local amenities are scarce.
Subject to necessary consents been sought, the existing footprint of the building could provide scope for a dwelling, however, enquires into this regard are advised to rely on their own research.
Aside from the potential of Lot 3 for other uses, it clearly offers significant scope to remain as its current use, being productive farmland with the added bonus of a farm building and thus it would suit another farmer looking for any such benefits all of which come in an accessible location.
