This lot offers exclusive single-bank fishing rights along approximately 341.5 metres of the River Wear, part of a wider holding extending to about 2.92 acres (1.18 hectares). The water is known for salmon and trout, and the riverside setting is secluded, wooded and scenic — ideal for an angling syndicate, private leisure use or a small rural investment.
Practical limitations are clear and important. The sale is for the fishing rights/land only: there are no vehicular rights of access and the route down to the bank is rough, with steps behind a crash barrier. The vendor reserves a right of access to retrieve stray animals, and the property is sold subject to existing rights, easements and wayleaves.
Services are minimal: no mains electricity and no broadband; water is from the river. Mobile phone coverage is strong across most providers. The site is freehold, exempt from Council Tax, located in a low-crime rural village setting with no identified flood risk.
This is best suited to buyers who value river access and natural seclusion over immediate development potential — anglers, country lifestyle buyers or investors seeking a niche recreational asset. Prospective purchasers should inspect the site and make their own enquiries about rights, access and potential uses before bidding.
