The land is divided into two separate titles.
1) To the north near Boscombe Grove there is a lightly wooded area of 4.08 acres including some self-seeded oak trees and ash trees. This land is Freehold.
2) The central area is 1.77 acres. The woodland and undergrowth here is considerably less dense. This area has been held by Possessory Title since 2017. There is potential to upgrade this title to Absolute in 2029. Indemnity insurance may be available to cover any associated risks. There is a 132 kV pylon line running across this area, which is subject to a wayleave. Within the boundaries of the land there is one small pylon (c. 25-30m high) and one post. These attract a small annual wayleave payment.
3) To the south, and held under the same title as area 1, is a wooded area which extends to 3.27 acres. This area adjoins the sluice which carries excess canal water around Trentham Lock. It consists of attractive mature woodland with excellent potential for appropriate management. There is a pleasant outlook over the lock and sluice channel. There is a small stream close to the southernmost boundary of the site.
The land is mainly suitable for leisure purposes, but there may be scope to operate a smallholding subject to planning permission. The canal frontage may offer potential to create one or more narrowboat moorings subject to Canal & River Trust approval and licencing, indeed some years ago there was an approved private mooring on this stretch of canal. To the south of the lock, across a small stream, the plot adjoins a disused car parking area for the World of Wedgwood heritage visitor centre, where a proposed marina development has been approved. The proximity to this proposed marina provides scope for the purchaser to offer amenities or appropriate low impact services to boaters, subject to planning permission.
Location:
The site is adjacent to Trentham Lock on the Trent and Mersey Canal, between Trentham and Barlaston. It consists mainly of attractive historic woodland, which was originally part of the Newpark Plantation
The location is an excellent base from which to enjoy cruising narrowboats, walking, cycling, or paddling around the canal network.
Tenancy:
Vacant

Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
