Land for sale

Traditional pasture land generally over a peat base and with potential for further improvement after under drainage which provides useful grazing in three compact areas.
TOTAL AREA 23.623 HECTARES - 58.43 ACRES
FOR SALE BY INFORMAL TENDER
AS A WHOLE OR IN THREE LOTS
TENDER DATE MONDAY 2ND APRIL 2012

The sale of these three parcels of pasture land will provide an opportunity for those seeking areas of accommodation land to acquire traditional meadow land in a prime agricultural locality within five miles of the city of Chester.
The land generally overlies a peat sub soil but there is good freeboard to enable an extensive under drainage system to be provided. The land adjoins two major water courses known as Pulford and Stringers Brook and other major drainage water courses adjoin the land.
In recent years the major water courses have been cleaned out and maintained by the Environment Agency, but there is no guarantee that such maintenance will continue.
There is clear evidence that similar land in the locality has been ploughed and reseeded with some areas used for whole crop cropping. It is accepted that the land would benefit substantially from the provision of an intensive under drainage scheme.
The sale contract will provide information over such rights of access that are known to the vendor and prospective purchasers are referred to the section rights of access in the general information section of these particulars. Reference should also be made to the section regarding water supply.
