Lot 2 is a substantial block of pasture extending to 3.12 hectares (7.71 acres) on the north edge of Hamsterley village, offered freehold with roadside access and a metered mains water connection. The gently north‑sloping fields are predominantly permanent grassland suited to livestock or equestrian grazing and sit within a quiet rural setting with nearby village amenities and good primary and secondary schools within reachable distance.
Practical qualities include direct access from Bedburn Road, stock‑proof external boundaries and registration with the Rural Payments Agency (de‑linked basic payment claimed). The land’s Grade 4 classification and slowly permeable, seasonally wet acid loamy and clayey soil mean it is best used for grazing rather than intensive cropping. Mineral rights are excluded and sporting rights are in hand.
Buyers should note a few material points: some boundary fencing and walls would benefit from repair, the land is described as seasonally wet in places, and broadband is slow in the area. There is a very low flood risk. The lot is offered at a Guide Price of £45,000 and the sale is subject to a best & final closing date (1 July 2025 at 12 noon). Prospective purchasers must satisfy their own enquiries concerning planning, access and any other intended uses.
This lot will suit equestrian owners, smallholders or investors seeking inexpensive pasture close to village facilities. It offers straightforward grazing use now with potential to hold as an asset or to explore other lawful future uses after due enquiries with the local planning authority.
