Land for sale

For sale by Public Auction on Wednesday 15th May 2024, 7pm
at Strawberry Fields, Lifton.
A useful block of some 76½ acres of sloping pasture land
including about 7 acres of woodland. Stream providing a natural water supply. Parish Road frontage. Quiet rural location with lovely countryside views.

Description
Comprises some 76.53 acres (30.97 hectares) and comprises a mixture of permanent pasture with about 7 acres of native broadleaf woodland, most of which is on the land’s south western boundary. The land is sloping in part with some more level ground to the north. It also benefits from parish road frontage and access on its northern boundary.

There is a small stream dissecting the land east to west as well as one in the woodland on the southern boundary, both of which offer a reliable water supply for livestock.

The land is partially fenced with post and wire but would benefit from work to improve internal and external boundaries.

Historically it has been utilised for livestock grazing as well as some fodder conservation, but may lend itself to conservation and biodiversity opportunities or carbon offsetting.
