Marshes at Haddiscoe Island

34.40 Ha (85.00 Acres) Grazing Marshes

Situation  
The land is situated on the renowned Haddiscoe Island in Norfolk on the edge of the Norfolk Broads.

The Land  
6 interconnecting grazing marshes extending to 29.88 Ha (73.83 Acres) together with 4.15 Ha (10.25 Acres) of river wall and reedbeds, with the balance being the access track.  This block of marshes has its own access from the main access road at the south of the Island, and a handling facility.   The marshes have a long frontage onto the river wall against the River Yare and with full sporting rights being included, the reedbeds create an exciting wildfowling opportunity with the marshes generating income from grazing and Countryside Stewardship.   The grazing has been let on seasonal grazing agreements for a number of years and is always highly sought after.

For Sale  
By private treaty as a whole.

Access
The land is accessed from New Cut Bank Road off the A143. Follow New Cut Bank Road and turn right under the bridge and follow the concrete road (owned and maintained by the Internal Drainage Board (IDB)). Drive past the farmhouse and the land will be found on the right hand side at the end of the concrete road.
