Land for Sale – 10.648 Hectares (26.31 Acres), Old Town, Hebden Bridge, HX7 8SW

AS A WHOLE OR IN LOTS

A valuable block of productive south facing meadow and pasture with some steeper sloping grazing land and scrub providing a variety of habitats.

Conveniently located on the southerly edge of Old Town just 1 mile to the north of Hebden Bridge.

Location

The land is situated on the southerly edge of Old Town having two separate points of access via rights of way from Old Town Mill Lane in the north and Walker Lane to the east. The larger vibrant town of Hebden Bridge lies about 1.5 miles to the south, beyond which are the larger centres of West Yorkshire and east Lancashire.

Description

This valuable and productive block of land extends in total to approximately 10.648 Hectares (26.31 Acres) but having two separate points of access does offer scope to subdivide into smaller more manageable lots.

The land will be of obvious interest to commercial farmers and adjoining land owners but will also appeal to those with equestrian interests and those with an interest in conservation and the environment.

The principal point of access is to the north west corner of the land via a track from Old Town Mill Lane running down the side of the mill development and bearing left into the land.

The second  point of access is to the east off Walker Lane across the front of the terraced cottages that make up Club Houses, leading into the walled track forming part of the land.

The land is served by natural water supplies with boundary structures being traditional dry stone walls. Repairs will be required to the boundary walls depending on the eventual lotting.

The land is crossed by public footpaths which are indicated on the sale plan.
