  • Rarely does an opportunity to come the open market Set within easy reach of transport links Boasting far reaching views Excellent grazing, hay field and River In the region of 22.52 acres (9.11HA)

The Property

This is a rare and appealing opportunity to acquire a well fenced block of land in an accessible location with excellent local transport links, yet close to open countryside. The land comprises a mix of grazing and hay meadows and benefits from a natural water supply, with a river running through the centre. Extending to approximately 22.52 acres (9.11 ha), the property offers gated access from behind The Manor House Hotel.

The site lends itself to a variety of uses. It would be ideally suited to those with equestrian interests, livestock grazing, or hay production, and could equally be enjoyed as a hobby or smallholding by anyone seeking to increase their self sufficiency. The land offers flexible potential for a wide range of rural pursuits.

Services

The property benefits from a natural water supply, there are no further services.

Tenure & Possession

The property is Freehold, available with vacant possession upon completion.

Notes

Please note that there are two public footpaths running through the land, on either side of the River, one of which is fenced.

Overage

The property is sold subject to a clawback (overage) provision relating specifically to any future residential development on the land. This means that if, at any point within the next 25 years, planning permission is granted for residential use, a payment will become due to the seller or their successors in title.

The clawback applies to the uplift in value created by the granting of planning consent. In practical terms, the land would be professionally valued immediately before planning permission is secured and then valued again immediately after permission is granted. The difference between these two figures represents the uplift in value. Under the terms of this agreement, 25% of that uplift would be payable to the seller or their successors.

This provision does not prevent a future owner from seeking planning permission, nor does it restrict the use of the land for agricultural, equestrian or amenity purposes. It simply ensures that, should residential development become possible, the seller receives an agreed share of the additional value created.
