Farm land for sale

The Michie Group LLP are delighted to bring to the open market an exciting opportunity to acquire a readily accessible, productive block of predominantly arable land extending to 79.99 acres (32.37 hectares) or thereabouts.

It is thought this attractive prospect is to be of interest to a wide range of potential purchasers with the land being well suited and capable of producing consistently high yielding combinable crops.

The land benefits from being well situated, located and accessed directly from the adjacent public highway, less than 2 miles from the nearby village of Ulgham and approximately 6 miles North East from Morpeth. The A1068 Coastal Route is only a short distance away providing a regional link up and down the County.

FARMLAND DESCRIPTION

An existing track from the highway ensures the land is readily accessible and accommodating of modern farm machinery, all year round.

Classified as Grade 3 on the Provisional Agricultural Land Classification Map, the versatile land at Ulgham Grange benefits from being farmed and well maintained as part of the Vendors wider arable rotation. It is no surprise that the land is capable of producing consistently high yielding combinable crops.
