The block of land comprising Lot 5 is formed of several parcels of pastureland bounded by mature hedgerows. The northern parcels of this lot have been historically used for mowing and grazing purposes.
This lot benefits from access via Caverswall Lane to two gateways off Carry Lane, for agricultural purposes only. The right of way for access over Carry Lane, is along the route shown coloured brown on the Sale Plan.
The remainder of the pastureland block is ideally suited to grazing purposes, being generally gently sloping in nature down to the River Blithe, which intersects part of the land to its southern section and provides a natural water supply. Parts of the land adjoining the river, are located within flood zone 3 meaning there is a high probability of flooding.
There is water connected to Lot 2. We understand there is no water supply to Lot 1. Lot 5 benefits from a natural water supply from the River Blithe. We are not aware of any other services connected to the land.
The property is sold freehold with vacant possession on completion. The land is currently occupied on a Farm Business Tenancy (FBT) which terminates on 24th March 2026.
The Sporting, Timber and Mineral rights are included with this land, as far as they exist.
The property is sold subject to and with the benefit of all rights of way, easements and wayleaves whether or not defined in these particulars.
Between points A and B on the sale plan, a right of access exists for the benefit of a neighbouring parcel of adjoining land.
