Description
Situated in a sought after location for agricultural land and directly opposite Holmstall, the land is predominately gently sloping and comprises 13 enclosures. It is bound by mature hedgerow and extends in total to approximately 88.33 acres (36 hectares).
It benefits from good road frontage, with access suitable for large machinery. A stream divides the land, broadly running through the middle in a north to south direction.
The land may benefit from amenity and recreational use, together with development potential in part, subject to obtaining the requisite consents. A large part of the site is situated within an area of 3 sq. km uninterrupted by any roads and would lend itself to a rewilding project. All the grassland is species-rich and close to Lowland Meadow Priority Habitat in quality. The land has great potential for biodiversity uplift with considerable potential income from selling biodiversity units for Biodiversity Net Gain. Interested parties are advised to rely on their own enquiries.
