A rare ring‑fenced block of upland grazing extending to approximately 67.43 hectares (166.61 acres) in the North Pennines Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parcel is divided into nine fields with stockproof boundaries, predominantly stone walls, and benefits from roadside and byway access plus natural water supplies — straightforward to run as grazing or to retain as a long‑term landholding.
The land is Grade 5 with slowly permeable, seasonally wet acid loamy and clayey soils, so it is best suited to rough grazing, biodiversity, carbon or stewardship schemes rather than intensive cropping. Much of the area is already entered into a Mid Tier Countryside Stewardship Scheme (runs to 2027), and the site is not in a Nitrate Vulnerable Zone, offering clear potential for environmental or carbon‑offset projects.
Practical considerations are clear: mineral and mine rights are excluded from the sale, and the property is crossed by a public footpath and partly designated open access land. Broadband is very slow, though mobile signal is excellent. Prospective purchasers should check the existing burdens, rights of way and stewardship commitments before offer.
Available freehold with vacant possession, this parcel suits an agricultural purchaser, investor in environmental markets, or someone seeking a remote rural holding with strong natural capital potential. Early inspection is recommended to assess access, boundaries and how the holding fits specific management or scheme requirements.
