Summary - FARM COTTAGE, ROAD LEADING TO THE GREEN COTTAGES DL13 3PZ
1 bed 1 bath Land
Large roadside meadow ideal for grazing, silage or equestrian use with village access.
2.81 hectares (6.94 acres) of permanent grassland
A substantial block of permanent meadow extending to 2.81 hectares (6.94 acres) in Hamsterley village, offered freehold with roadside access. The fields are relatively flat Grade 4 grassland with soil described as slowly permeable, seasonally wet acid loamy and clayey — suited to silage, hay production or equestrian grazing. External boundaries are a mix of stone walls, post-and-wire fencing and hedging; they are stock-proof but would benefit from some repair.
This lot will suit buyers seeking practical agricultural land or an equestrian plot near village amenities and good primary schooling. The site is straightforward to access from Saunders Avenue and lies close to Hamsterley Village Hall; nearby towns include Bishop Auckland, Tow Law and Barnard Castle. Flood risk is very low and the land is currently run as one unit, giving flexibility of use or future division.
Important legal detail: Lot 1 is sold subject to an overage (clawback) in favour of the vendors — 30% of any uplift in land value on grant of planning permission for non-agricultural/equestrian uses, payable for 25 years. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is average. Mineral rights are excluded and sporting rights are in hand.
Offers are being invited by a set closing date; buyers should note the overage, fencing maintenance needs and the soil/grade limitations when considering agricultural yields or development potential. Prospective purchasers must satisfy themselves on all aspects by inspection and enquiries with the local authority and Rural Payments Agency.
