A rare, level 0.75-acre parcel on the edge of Marnhull, offered at public auction with livestream. The plot is a mix of grass, woodland and scrub, previously used as a nature reserve, and sits in a quiet, semi-rural location with easy access to village amenities. Ultrafast broadband is reported available and the site benefits from low local crime and an affluent surrounding area.
This lot is offered with clear development or amenity potential subject to relevant consents — good for a buyer seeking a small development plot, extended garden land or a nature-focused project. The buyer of Lot A will have first option to buy Lot B for a fixed price of £25,000; if Lot A’s purchaser declines, Lot B will be offered to the room. There is pedestrian access and a public right of way crossing the land.
Important practical points are set out plainly: there are no mains services to the land, and two septic tanks located on Lot B serve neighbouring properties with full rights of access for maintenance. The site is identified as being within Flood Zone 2 in the legal pack. The sale will be at auction — prospective buyers should review the legal pack for drainage rights, access obligations and the sellers’ claim for contribution towards legal costs.
This lot will suit an investor or owner-occupier comfortable working through planning and statutory consents, or someone seeking an affordable entry to rural land ownership. Its value lies in location, size and flexibility of potential uses, but buyers must accept service limitations and third-party rights that affect future use and maintenance.
