This substantial ring‑fenced block at The Linnels offers 88.34 ha (215.46 ac) of productive Grade 3 grassland, amenity and commercial woodland, and about a one‑mile stretch of the Devil’s Water. The land is currently farmed in hand and benefits from recent re‑seeding and SFI work, mains/private water to fields and secure boundaries — a ready base for continued agricultural income or immediate timber sales from maturing woodland.
The site includes the footings of a former steading/sawmill with good vehicular access and nearby electricity, presenting realistic possibilities for a steading redevelopment or diversification subject to planning. Historical and recreational credentials — former horse trials footprint, salmon and trout in the river, and attractive parkland character — add tourism and equestrian potential alongside farming or forestry enterprises.
Buyers should note practical considerations: parts of the holding carry a medium flood risk, broadband is very slow, and the land is let under grazing licences that expire 21 November 2025. Lotting is possible from the roadside but will require early interest and purchaser‑installed fencing beyond the vendor’s specified new fence line.
In short, The Linnels is a rare, well‑managed Northumbrian holding offering immediate income options, clear diversification upside and strong amenity value for investors, farmers or anyone seeking a multifunctional countryside asset.
