Extensive productive pasture extending to c.65.92 acres offered freehold at auction with a guide price of £495,000. The land lies on the northern edge of Gillingham and combines level, free‑draining alluvial ground by Shreen Water with higher loam and Kimmeridge clay on Bowridge Hill. Historically cut for silage and grazed by sheep and cattle, the soils are described as rich in organic matter and well suited to continued agricultural use.
The block benefits from substantial stream frontage on Shreen Water, natural water supplies, a small pond, scattered mature trees and several access points from Bowridge Hill Lane and Bay Road. There are three public footpaths crossing the holding, fishing and sporting rights are included, and Lot A has a mains water connection (sub‑meter required). An Environment Agency recording station and a stretch of land abutting Shreen Water lie within Flood Zone 3.
No planning consents are in place; the land is presented for agricultural, equestrian or amenity use. Any alternative development would be subject to planning and an overage clause — 20% of any increase in value for 20 years — payable if consent is granted (agricultural, equestrian and horticultural uses excluded). The sale is by public auction, and the purchaser will take the property as seen with the stated designations and rights of way.
