Tenders close Friday 16th February 2024



This sale represents a rare opportunity to acquire a small parcel of land occupying a convenient and readily accessible position situated close to the edge of the town, adjacent to the new Molbrook development site. Benefiting from good road access the land is principally divided into two small enclosures, it’s current being agricultural pasture. Despite now being slightly overgrown, in the past the land has been utilised for livestock grazing and fodder production.
The land is primarily contained within fenced and hedged boundaries, with a new fence to be erected along the northern boundary. A gated access is available at the southern end of the land, set well back from the road. The land’s convenient situation and aesthetic appeal may make it suitable for a variety of agricultural, equestrian, amenity or other alternative uses, subject to obtaining any necessary planning consent. The property has the benefit of an overage agreement over the land immediately adjacent to the east.
Extending in total to about 0.37 Acres the land is offered for sale by informal tender as shown shaded red on the identification plan and described within these sale particulars.
