This lot comprises 11.98 acres (4.85 ha) of Grade 3 productive grassland in a quiet rural setting north of Busty Bank road. The gently undulating fields include two small woodland pockets and two parcels with a natural water supply—useful for livestock or amenity planting. The land benefits from road-side access and is sold freehold; there is no identified flood risk.
Practical limitations are clear and fully disclosed. An overhead electricity cable and pylon cross the site, and two narrow areas shown on the plan are currently unregistered despite long-standing use as part of the fields. The land is sold subject to all existing rights, wayleaves and easements; purchasers must satisfy themselves about these matters before contract.
The site may suit an agricultural buyer, amenity owner, or long-term investor. Any non-agricultural development would be subject to an overage agreement (50% uplift in value, in perpetuity) and planning would need to be sought from the local authority. Mobile signal is excellent; broadband speed information is mixed and should be confirmed if connectivity is critical.
Offered as a whole or in two lots, the parcel presents scope for continued grazing, low‑intensity agricultural use, or future redevelopment where planning, overage and wayleaves permit. Interested parties should undertake their own due diligence on boundaries, unregistered strips, rights of way and development potential before proceeding.
