Description
This attractive and flexible block of amenity land is currently laid to pasture and located in beautiful unspoiled countryside with stunning views down the valley. Arranged as two fields, the first is largely level and extends to about 2.19 acres. An opening in the mature tree and hedgerow boundary leads into the principal field of about 12.78 acres which is also laid to pasture; the top of the field is fairly level and then descends the hill being increasingly steep as it reaches the bottom. The land is currently let on an informal basis.
Services
Currently there is a water trough near the connecting gate, fed from Pressmore Farm. The purchaser will be responsible for negotiating the terms for continued connection (no undertaking is given or implied) with the new owners of Pressmore Farm.

†Traditional auction
Exchange occurs at the end of the auction. This means that if the reserve is met or exceeded and the auction timer reaches zero, the successful bidder is legally obliged to pay the purchase price and the seller will be legally obliged to sell the property. To ensure that the successful bidder proceeds, the buyer is automatically charged a holding deposit, which is held in a secure client account, pursuant to the terms of a holding deposit agreement.
* Pricing Information
The Guide Price amount specified is an indication of each seller's minimum expectation. It is not necessarily the amount at which the property will sell. Each property will be offered subject to a Reserve (a figure below which the property will not be sold) which we expect will be set no more than 10% above the Guide Price amount.
